Kittens 'recreate' classic scene from Disney's The Lion King

The Lion King tells the story of Simba, a young lion prince who is forced to flee his kingdom after he takes the blame for his father's death. 

An iconic scene

But as fans will know, the real killer is Scar - Simba's evil uncle. 

In one of the film's saddest moments, Scar watches Simba's dad fall to his death following a mountain top struggle between the pair. 

It's now one of those iconic Disney scenes, and it certainly had a big impact on two very cute little kitties. 

Because after watching the film just once, the playful critters decided to recreate the scene using mum's couch as the mountain.

The home movie turned the cats into overnight TitTok stars. It's already racked up over 1million views, as well as thousands of likes and comments. 

One person wrote: 

"That is why they're called copycats."

Another fan posted: 

 "This is so adorable. I can't stop watching."

We're waiting for the sequel

The twosilverfloofs TikTok page includes loads more videos of the cute kittens, although this was the first time they've shown off their acting skills. 

But given the amazing reaction from their new army of fans, it probably won't be the last.
