Mufasa (Disney)

"Simba, you have forgotten who you are and so forgotten me. Look inside yourself, Simba; you are more than what you have become. You must take your place in the circle of life. Remember who you are. You are my son and the one true king. Remember who you are."

~ Mufasa's ghost guiding Simba
Mufasa was the father of Simba, and brother of Scar and formerly the king of the pride lands until his death. He is the one of the heroes in the 1994 Disney film, ''The Lion King. ''He guided Simba with the path to become king and showing the ways of the circle of life. Simba started a stampede of wildebeest in a gorge, though it was really Scar and the hyenas, and Mufasa charges in to rescue him. He rescues Simba and tries to climb out of the gorge but Scar grabs him and throws him back in where he is trampled and killed. Scar convinced Simba that he was responsible for his father's death and Simba ran away to start a new life. Mufasa's ghost appears before him years later to tell that he must go back and become king again. Simba agrees and does so.
