Scar got what he deserved
Zazu, who is sassy and often comes up with witty remarks, has some of the most memorable lines in The Lion King, such as his suggestion to turn Scar into a rug. However, certainly, the Disney creative team did not do it.
Hercules was the highly anticipated Disney film of 1997, three years after The Lion King. And there’s a scene in it where Hercules pulls out a large rug. It appears to be made from the fur of a lion, but not just any lion. That’s Scar, who, as he deserved and as Zazu suggested, ended up like a rug.
