Did you know?
The Simba bobblehead from Kellogg's 2003 The Lion King cereal promotion is a collectible figure featuring Simba, the iconic lion cub from Disney's The Lion King. This toy was part of a limited-edition series released to coincide with the film's enduring popularity. The toy depicts Simba in a seated pose with a cheerful expression, characteristic of his youthful portrayal in the film and it also features a bobblehead mechanism, allowing Simba's head to nod when tapped. It is originally included in select Kellogg's cereal boxes as a promotional item.

Amazing Grace is....a Scar toy from McDonald's Happy Meal.
Did you know?
Scar is a character who appears in Disney's The Lion King franchise. Scar was created in 1989 by screenwriters Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts, and Linda Woolverton, and animated by Andreas Deja. The Pride Lands' reclusive heir presumptive, Scar is introduced in the first film as Simba's uncle and Mufasa's younger brother. Originally first-in-line to Mufasa's throne until he is suddenly replaced by Simba, Scar decides to lead an army of hyenas in his plot to take the throne by killing Mufasa and exiling Simba, ultimately blaming his brother's death on his nephew. Loosely based on King Claudius, the main antagonist of William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, Scar's villainy was additionally inspired by Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin. As the character's supervising animator, Deja based Scar's appearance on that of original voice actor Jeremy Irons himself, as well as the actor's Academy Award-winning performance as Claus von Bülow in Reversal of Fortune (1990). Before Irons was cast, the directors had considered offering the role to actors Tim Curry and Malcolm McDowell. Chiwetel Ejiofor voices the photorealistic version of the character in the CGI remake of the 1994 film.

Simba
Did you know?
Although considered an original character, Simba was inspired by the character Bambi from Disney's Bambi (1942), as well as the stories of Moses and Joseph from the Bible. Additionally, several similarities have been drawn between Simba and Prince Hamlet from William Shakespeare's tragedy of the same name. In 1997, The Lion King was adapted into a Broadway musical, with actors Scott Irby-Ranniar and Jason Raize originating the roles of the cub and adult Simbas, respectively.
