TIL there are actual people in this world who didn't immediately pick up on this reference when they watched Hercules as kids.

EDIT it's also a twofold reference, calling back to both Hercules' lion pelt in the original myth and (somewhat) paying off Zazu's observation that '[Scar would] make a very handsome throw rug.'

Dude, just to reiterate, the reference was obvious on first viewing when I was a kid. Get your eyes checked.

I genuinely find it hard to believe that people are treating this as some new revelation / 'fan theory.'

James Woods' used-car-salesman-from-hell Hades is arguably the best comedic villain in Disney's pantheon. He reportedly liked the role so much that he was happy to voice the character in any and all supplemental media, such as the Kingdom Hearts games.

The movie as a whole is a little shaky at times, but apart from Hades, it's also a pretty funny parody of celebrity / pro athlete culture wrapped (very) loosely around the Hercules mythology.

The Lion King, Hercules, and Tarzan are the 3 classic 2D animated disney films I love most. Aladdin was pretty good as well but not in the top 3 for me.

It's funny how The Lion King became among Disney's most popular and beloved films, when they had little faith in it and instead was focusing their efforts towards Pocahontas, which didn't do as well and was an outright insult to the actual historical events and people.

Having said what I said earlier, there is a world of difference between simple comedic callback (the pelt is quite obviously a reference to Scar) and some kind of elaborate fan theory: thinking that Scar's remains canonically found their way to Ancient Greece is like thinking that Jack Nicholson, Rodney Dangerfield, Pinocchio and electric lamps all existed in ancient Arabia, because how else would Genie and Aladdin be knowledgeable enough about them to make jokes about them?

Agrabah existed in a post-apocalyptic world, the Genie just knew his history.

That's dumb. Genie, being a supernatural entity, inherited all the knowledge of his alternate dimension self, Robin Williams.

Al is just very good and lucky at improv.

Scar was actually the Nemean lion and Hercules didn't kill him, he just stole his skin after the hyenas where through him.

I was joking, though I didn't make that clear at all.

Like considering how Scar dies at the end of the movie (being mauled by hyenas) it wouldn't make much sense that he would end up as a neatly skinned pelt in Ancient Greece.

Genie saw that Al was a good guy that would play along so he zapped in enough knowledge to do so in his brain.

Ah, fair enough, I guess I unfairly assumed that this was a genuine fan theory that was gaining steam. I was still pretty shocked that people didn't pick up on this reference (and one or two were doubling down on it not being the obvious reference that it is) that I guess it was throwing a monkey wrench in my sarcasm meter, lol.
