Scar convinces Simba that his father's death was his own fault, and guilts Simba further by asking what his mother will think when she finds out. Simba continues to blame himself well into adulthood, until he learns the truth.

Several live insects (presumably non-sentient) are eaten onscreen. The hyenas are shown eating a zebra leg, but nothing else of the zebra is shown. Numerous animal bones and skulls are shown, especially in the elephant graveyard, but nothing graphic.

Yes but it’s brief and humorous (Timon preventing Pumbaa from saying the word “farted” in front of Simba). Also Timon, being a meerkat, has very small handpaws so Pumbaa’s mouth isn’t fully covered.

Not in the movie, but in a certain deleted scene and Broadway scene, there is a moment where the villain wants one of the main characters to be his queen and bear cubs. And technically. they're his niece.

During the "You want me to dress in drag and do the hula?" scene, a male character wears a hula dress as a diversion, which is played for laughs. The fact that he's wearing a dress isn't really the main joke though, so whether or not this counts is debatable.

The closest things to gore are shots of insects being bitten in half and of hyenas devouring a zebra leg. A hyena is scratched across the face, leaving red claw marks, but that's the closest thing we see to blood. A character is eaten alive offscreen. Another character is trampled to death, but their dead body is not visibly bloody or injured at all.
