[quote="Konga"]Has anyone else ever wondered why Zazu never fled from the Pridelands during Scar's Reign? I mean, what was really keeping him from simply flying away and searching for help himself? I'm sure he could've easily escaped Scar's grasp, since his wings give him such an advantage. He could've possibly been a great asset and help to Nala when she ventured out alone into the unknown, searching for somebody. Do you think he stayed because he was so dignified that he still felt a strong sense of responsibility towards the lionesses and the entire kingdom? Maybe he was protecting them from Scar's wrath by acting as a distraction and a middle-man? We can see clearly that Zazu wasn't benefitting from his job/contract with Scar in any way.

Honestly, I never wondered about Zazu never fleeing during Scar's reign seeing he is a minor supporting character. Now to answer your question about whether Zazu felt a strong sense of responsibility towards the lionesses and the entire kingdom? Yes, I think his responsibility for being the majordomo to the monarch of Pride Rock is what kept him from fleeing during Scar's reign besides the ribcage he trapped in. Every leader should have an adviser, and Zazu was the only one available at the time, and I assume Zazu was very loyal to his position even though Scar wasn't using him to his full potential.
