** Just before Mufasa's [[DisappointedInYou scolding]], Simba walks towards him and steps into one of Mufasa's pawprints. One of the most famous moments from the film is the sight of Simba's tiny paw inside Mufasa's giant one. That's when it sinks in for poor Simba just how much he has to live up to.
** After Mufasa sends the hyenas scrambling towards the hills, Simba steps towards him but before he can finish, Mufasa looks at him and says to Simba in an angry, worried and disappointed voice "You deliberately ''disobeyed'' me..." Simba's [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone resulting expression]] and broken attempt at an apology rings home for any child who has disappointed a beloved parent.

** The sound design of Simba pleading for help is particularly heart wrenching. Simba screams for somebody, anybody to help but all he hears is his own echo. It finally sinks in for him that he's all alone and all he can do is cry a weak "...help..." and return to Mufasa's body.

* The ending when Simba takes the throne is one of these too, partly from TearsOfJoy (and the intense emotional power of Zimmer's score) but also just the sense of sorrow for everything Simba went through to get to that point, and the relief that he is finally there (something that anyone who’s struggled through their life to get where they need to be can relate to), he's honored and avenged his father, and more than earned his rightful place as king. One word sums it up: '''''"Remember."'''''
