+==Arts and entertainment==
-'''Zazu''' is a fictional character in the [[Walt Disney Pictures]] animated film ''[[The Lion King]]''. Zazu is an [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphized]] [[hornbill]] and is the polar opposite in temperament of the heroes, [[lion]] cubs [[Simba]] and [[Nala (The Lion King)|Nala]]. He was voiced by [[Rowan Atkinson]] and his singing voice in the Morning Report sequence was provided by [[Jeff Bennett]].

-The impatient bird is voiced by [[United Kingdom|British]] comedian [[Rowan Atkinson]], and the character's role in the story is primarily comic relief. The story becomes very dark near the halfway point, and Zazu is played as a tool for laughter when it's desperately needed, much like the characters [[Timon and Pumbaa]].  Most of Zazu's contributions are during the first half of the movie, where the main characters are still children. He is the [[majordomo]] to the king—originally [[Mufasa]], then [[Scar (The Lion King)|Scar]]. Zazu always sticks to the rules.

-After Simba runs away, Zazu is hardly seen again. He briefly appears in a scene where Scar has assumed the kingship of the Pride Lands. In this scene, Zazu is imprisoned and is being forced to entertain Scar with a song. Later, he pleads with Timon and Pumbaa to let him out of the ribcage he is imprisoned in.
-==Zazu in ''The Lion King II: Simba's Pride''==
-The character makes a few brief appearances in ''[[The Lion King II: Simba's Pride]]'', but he is no longer a comic character and his presence in this film is a little redundant.
-==Zazu in ''The Lion King 1 1/2''==
-Zazu appears ''very'' breifly in [[The Lion King 1 1/2]] at Simba's dedication, and then, going to rescue Simba from the hyenas with Mufasa. His one line is, "Sire, here they are!"
-==Zazu's Backstory==
-Zazu has two conflicting histories as to how he became the king's majordomo.
-===Friends in Need===
-Young Zazu is about to be cooked and eaten by the three hyenas Shenzi, Banzai and Ed, when a young [[Mufasa]] comes along, frightens off the hyenas and saves him. Zazu is thankful and hopes that he can be of service to the Lion King someday. Mufasa is doubtful of this. How could a small bird be of any use to a lion?
-Zazu follows Mufasa around and watches over him. Mufasa tires of this quickly as Zazu disturbs his hunts and his private time with [[Sarabi]].
-One day Zazu notices some [[vulture]]s hovering. He asks Mufasa if Mufasa wants him to fly over and see what's happening, but Mufasa is not concerned and lies down for a nap. Zazu flies over to where the vultures are anyway and sees that Sarabi has fallen into a pit and can't get out. Zazu flies back to tell Mufasa who leaps up and runs to the gorge. But Mufasa can't find a way to rescue Sarabi. Zazu finds a tree trunk that Mufasa drags over to the pit, allowing Sarabi to climb out.
-Mufasa realizes that the little hornbill is useful after all and appoints him as royal advisor.
-===How True, Zazu? from ''[[The Lion King: Six New Adventures]]''===
-Zazu's mother, Zuzu, was a steward to Kopa's great-grandfather Ahadi. When Zazu was young, Zuzu trained him to take her place when Mufasa's rule began.
-In the book, Zazu reports everything he sees and tends to jump to conclusions. He ends up reporting false stories to Mufasa as three young animals make up stories to trick Zazu. Zazu redeems himself though as he spies an army ant attack and alerts Mufasa to the problem.
