Corrected entry: At the start of the film, the tiny baby cub is presented to everyone. In real life, a lioness would hide her offspring for about 2 months. This cub is way too small to be old enough that his mother would present him.

Continuity mistake: The whites of Simba's eyes change frequently through the movie, from yellow to white. They're yellow up until the scene where Pumbaa, Timon, and Simba are stargazing; after that they change back and forth frequently. During the Mufasa-in-the-sky scene, when Simba asks, "How can I go back? I'm not who I used to be," they change from yellow to white and back within three frames.
Timon: What do you want me to do, dress in drag and do the hula?
Trivia: In Swahili, 'Simba' means lion, 'Rafiki' means friend, and 'Shenzi' means uncivilized. There are many Swahili references throughout the film, and we can assume it takes place in Tanzania or Kenya, since Mt. Kilimanjaro is shown in several scenes.
Question: How exactly did Rafiki know Simba was alive?

Correction: And in real life a mandrill wouldn't hold him up to show all the animals that gathered to see him. And in real life a lion wouldn't sing songs with a meerkat and warthog.
