Mufasa: The Lion King premise

Set in the Pride Lands of Tanzania after the events of The Lion King (2019), Rafiki, the wise mandrill, shares a story from the past with Kiara, Simba and Nala’s daughter and Mufasa’s granddaughter. He tells how Mufasa, an orphaned lion, was taken in by a royal family and became close friends—like a brother—with young Prince Taka. As Rafiki narrates the tale of their bond and challenges, Timon and Pumbaa jump in with their humorous takes, adding some fun to the heartfelt story.
