"Mufasa: The Lion King" asks Rafiki to pass on the legend of Mufasa to the young lioness Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, borrowing Timon and Pumbaa in his own style. The story, told in flashbacks, introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a lovable lion named Taka - heir to the royal bloodline. A chance meeting begins a vast journey for an extraordinary group of misfits in search of their destiny - their bonds are tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly enemy.
