Mufasa | Scar | Simba | Rafiki | Nala | Zazu | Timon & Pumbaa

"Yes, my teeth and ambition are bared
BE PREPARED!"*

"Scar is a more active force in the drama and has a wider range of emotions than Mufasa. Because he is so mis-shapen psychologically, I sculpted him with one eyebrow up and one down, completely twisted his face, and gave him spiky porcupine-like hair. In its final form, comic, yet terrifying feel to it."
Julie Taymor

"Scar is a wonderfully nasty character; his body has an armored, martial feel. He is always playing two roles: he's this conniving manipulative character who's quite an astute politician."
Michael Curry
