Discover the Legend of Mufasa
Told in flashbacks by Rafiki, Mufasa: The Lion King reveals the untold story of Simba’s father. As Rafiki shares the legend with young Kiara—the daughter of Simba and Nala—we see how Mufasa grew from an orphaned cub into the king of the Pride Lands.
His life changes forever after he meets Taka, a lion born into royalty. Their chance encounter leads to an epic journey, filled with adventure and challenges. Alongside a group of misfit animals, they must rely on friendship and courage to face a looming danger.
Thankfully, familiar faces like Timon and Pumbaa add heart and humor to the tale. This film promises a rich blend of action, emotion, and classic Disney storytelling.
