According to the Editor-in-Chief of The DisInsider, Disney’s live-action The Lion King includes a rendition of “Be Prepared.” Perhaps the most iconic “villain song” of all time, “Be Prepared” was performed by Scar (voiced by Jeremy Irons) in the 1994 animated classic before he kills his older brother Mufasa and becomes king of the Pride Lands.
The Lion King revolves around a young cub named Simba, who is manipulated into fleeing the pride lands he was destined to rule after his uncle Scar murders King Mufasa and convinces the prince that he is responsible for his own father’s death. After meeting two eccentric companions and reuniting with childhood friend Nala, an adult Simba finds himself confronted with the choice of remaining in exile or returning home to end the tyrannical rule of Scar and take his rightful place as King.
