So, my girlfriend Natalie brought up a funny subject today, about how there's incest in The Lion King.

Who would've thought, one of the most famous children movies of all time has incest! Sure they're lions and technically lions do this, but it's still pretty funny to think about.

The example she brought up was from The Lion King 2, where Simba's kid and Scar's kid get together.  They're cousins once removed.

But the real elephant in the room is in the original Lion King.  Even though it's never brought up or explicitly mentioned, Simba and Nala are half-siblings.  We're never told that Mufasa is Nala's father, but then who is? Clearly not Scar, and we never see any other male lions besides Scar.  And as it is a pride of lions, there wouldn't be any other male lions.  So that means Mufasa is Nala's father as well.

Pretty funny, eh?  The other funny part is that Nala doesn't really seem to be affected by Mufasa's death like Simba was, even though it's her father as well.  I'm guessing the Disney people didn't want it to stick out like a sore thumb that they're half-siblings.
