Chronology
Mufasa: The Lion King will task Rafiki with passing on the legend of Mufasa to a young lion cub, Kiara, the daughter of Simba and Nala, while Timon and Pumbaa perform their signature trick. Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphan, lost, and lonely cub until he meets a friendly lion named Taka, heir to the royal bloodline. A chance encounter ignites a grand journey for a group of unlikely misfits in search of their destiny – their bonds are tested as they work together to escape a menacing and deadly enemy.
