** to further cement Mufasa’s Awesomeness; in real life a Lion, even an old male like Mufasa, would have a very hard time facing against a pack of Hyenas, hell they can even lose, so the fact that he can take on a whole pack of Hyenas and win is a testament to Mufasa’s power.

* The fact that during Scar’s reign, the Pride has none of it and outright looks to Sarabi as their ruler and queen. This is despite the fact that Sarabi herself acknowledges that Scar is by all appearances the rightful king as the seeming last survivor of Mufasa’s bloodline; she nonetheless serves as the BigGood after the death of her husband and the loss of her son.
** Sarabi in general handles things very well after the loss of her family. The very moment the hyenas arrive to take over Pride Rock, Sarabi quickly urges Nala to stay close, immediately knowing to put herself between her and the hyenas. Years later, Sarabi refuses to lead the lionesses out of the kingdom, insisting that they must stay together and protect their home. She says it with such dignity and grace that even though in the original she knew staying meant starvation, you can’t help but respect Sarabi for knowing that the lionesses must stay and fight Scar’s regime however they can.
** When Shenzi summons her to speak with Scar, Nala insists she doesn’t go, but Sarabi scoffs that she’s not afraid of him and calmly walks through a crowd of hostile hyenas, much like in the original. She then weathers Scar’s sexual harassment and selfish demands with ease, calling him out for his greed and overhunting, coldly telling him she will never be his queen. Her stance only shakes when Scar makes it clear he’s willing to let the lionesses starve as punishment for her rejection of him.
** Right before Simba shows up, Sarabi is again being harassed by Scar to be his queen. She stands her ground, and knowing exactly what will piss him off, starts lecturing Scar about how a true king shows compassion. When Scar snaps at her that he’s ten times the king Mufasa was, clearly taking the bait, Sarabi sneers back that he is NOTHING compared to Mufasa. She is then attacked by Scar. Where in the original Scar was able to take her down with one hit (albeit after striking her by surprise), in this version Sarabi hits him back and is able to fight Scar on equal terms before Simba interrupted.

* The final song of the credits and soundtrack is a cover of the original “Mbube”, the song that ultimately inspired “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”. Some negative publicity had surfaced in the last few years regarding Disney’s usage of the song, but if anything, Lebo M.’s cover proves that Favreau and company are all about paying tribute to the source of the song.

It's isiZulu, not Swahili. Most of The Lion King's music is sung in isiZulu and other South African languages as opposed to Kiswahili.

* Mufasa doesn't just take on the three main hyenas. He takes on a ''whole pack'' to defend Simba and Nala.Nala, all set to a thunderous, epic reprise of “This Land”. This is the king of Pride Rock defending his son and his bloodline, and by extension his kingdom, and he’ll be damned if he’ll let them come to harm.
** An understated moment is how Mufasa directly addresses her when he’s leaving the Elephant Graveyard. If there was any solid confirmation that this Shenzi is an AdaptationalBadass, it’s this. She may be no match for Mufasa himself, but she commands enough hyenas and is powerful enough in her own right that Mufasa personally speaks to and acknowledges her as someone close to an equal. The original Mufasa probably didn’t even know her name.
