The Lion King’s villain, Scar, is visibly separated from the rest of the tribe in his appearance, but his British accent is hard to explain.

He was sent to British school

He's like Robin Hood in the Disney cartoon. Maybe he's faking the accent.

It's like the old Biblical movies of the 1950s and 1960s. The evil Romans are British actors, and the Christians are American.

I wanta know why, if he's Mufasa's brother, he has dark red fur with a black mane; while Mufasa has golden fur and a reddish-brown mane? They look nothing alike!
