Lion King Mufasa in Simba’s reflection cartoon live-action mashup shirt depends on whether you think Simba hallucinated in so many words and projected his own thoughts, which took the shape of his father, or you think Simba actually saw Mufasa’s spirit, as a separate, self-aware entity. It wasn’t actually Mufasa’s anything, but a projection of him based on Simba’s own thoughts and feelings. Rafiki sort of says as much. He lives in you. Simba seeing Mufasa’s ghost was an expression of his inner feelings and guilt at abandoning his pride, embodied by a beloved authority figure. Mufasa isn’t telling Simba anything new he’s telling him what Simba already knows but just needs to come to terms with. At that point, Simba didn’t know that Scar had killed Mufasa, so Mufasa’s “ghost” obviously wouldn’t be able to tell Simba that.
