I was thinking the same king. Media consumption for a 3yo, total, per day, should be less than 30 minutes. And probably should not include The Lion King, cartoon or not.

My issue with it wasn't screen time, it was the disturbing death scene.

It's never too early to teach a child that the only good king is a dead one.

Better turn it off after "hakuna matata" then, I guess!

Another lesson!

Don't let the prince escape without at least witnesses to his abdication!

To be fair, Scar ordered Simba killed, too. It was the hyenas who failed to finish the job and lied about it.

...Actually, that reminds me: the "Be Prepared" villain song ruins the anti-monarchy lesson. Specifically, the line:

Idiots! There will be a king. I will be king!

So yeah, even watching any part of The Lion King fails at teaching that lesson. You'd have to pick a different show entirely (maybe *Kimba the White Lion, LOL).
