MUFASA: THE LION KING enlists Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick. Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka -- the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny -- their bonds will be tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe.

00:00It's time. I'll tell you a story. A story of a come, not much bigger than you.
00:15So just to be clear, we're not in this story? There's a lot of stories with all of us, tell
00:20one of those! Long before they became legends, Mufasa and
00:25a prince who would come to be known as Scar became brothers.
00:30Hello! What's your name? Mufasa.
00:34I told you to wait for me! We can't just leave him here!
00:37Rules are rules, Taka. The king will never accept a stray.
00:41I'm not a stray. I'm just... lost. We do not associate with outsiders.
00:53Taka is the future king. We must protect the bloodline.
00:56But dad, I saved his life! I have a secret, Mufasa. I always wanted a
01:06brother. Sometimes I get a scent. It's barely a trace
01:18on the wind. And it smells like home. And then it's gone.
01:26You and Taka together, that is home. Now both of you go. Find your place in the circle of
01:36life. The circle is broken. There will be one Lion
01:43King. Mufasa! Run!
01:53We must fight together! If we fight, we die!
02:00Just to be clear, I never signed up for this! I'm here to protect you, my brother.
02:10Mufasa! This was a bad idea!
02:16We're alive! I did it! I saved us!
02:23You were saying?
