The Lion King - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
In one scene, as Simba collapses on a cliff, the dust he kicks up appears to momentarily form the letters 'SFX'.
This was an intentional inside joke from the special effects (SFX) team who worked on the film. For years, there was a rumor that the letters spelled out something else, but it has been confirmed by the animators to be 'SFX'.
