Okay, here is an English summary of the plot for The Lion King (often referred to as "雄狮少年" in Chinese contexts, as it's the Chinese title for the original Disney film):
Plot Summary of The Lion King
Set in the Pride Lands of Africa, the story centers around a young lion cub named Simba. He is the son of Mufasa, the respected and powerful king of the Pride Lands, and Sarabi, the queen.
Simba is playful and curious, often venturing too far from the safety of the Pride Lands with his best friend, Nala, a lioness, and his loyal meerkat sidekick, Timon, and warthog friend, Pumbaa. Their lives are turned upside down when the villainous Scar, Mufasa's jealous older brother, manipulates Simba's life into chaos.
Scar convinces Simba that he is responsible for the death of his father during a dangerous encounter with a stampede that Scar deliberately set in motion. Consumed by guilt and fear, Simba runs away from the Pride Lands, leaving behind his mother and the rest of his family.
In the desert, Simba is taken in and raised by Timon and Pumbaa, who adopt his carefree philosophy of "Hakuna Matata" – living without worries or concerns. Simba grows up under the sun, largely unaware of his true heritage and his responsibilities as the future king.
Years later, Nala finds Simba and pleads with him to return home. She reveals that Scar has seized control of the Pride Lands, forcing the animals out and turning the land into a desolate wasteland. Simba finally returns to find his home in ruins and his mother suffering under Scar's cruel rule.
Mufasa's spirit appears to Simba, urging him to remember who he is and take his place as the rightful king. Simba understands that he cannot run from his past or his destiny. He rallies the animals, led by Nala, to fight against Scar's tyranny.
In a dramatic climax, Simba confronts Scar, leading to a fierce battle. Scar tries to turn Simba into Mufasa by recreating the scene of Mufasa's death, but Simba overcomes his fear and ultimately defeats Scar, who falls to his death.
With Scar gone, Simba ascends Pride Rock as the new king, restoring peace and prosperity to the Pride Lands. He eventually marries Nala, and they have a son, Kiara, continuing the circle of life. The film ends with the Pride Lands thriving once more under Simba's wise leadership.
