"Long Live the King."

For many of us who grew up with the original Lion King film, this scene was a formative moment in our childhoods - Not many Disney moments can match the horror of when Scar drops his brother into the stampede of wildebeest. This build captures that moment, including the shock of betrayal on Mufasa's face as he realises what is about to happen, and the menacing grin of the villainous Scar.

To me, this act has always made Scar so much more tangible a villain than many other Disney villains, whose crime is so bold and animalistic (I suppose he is a lion) that it feels all the more real.

The overall build consists of 711 parts.
Mufasa consists of 157 parts, Scar has 166 parts in him, and the remaining 388 come from the cliff and the base. The lion cub parts aren't in Studio yet, or I might have added one more piece to have a little Simba on the base. I also would have liked to use the new fern parts flanking the title instead of the grass stems, but they're not yet in Studio either.
