Cast and Crew of The Lion King

The Lion King

The beloved classic, 'The Lion King', is a timeless tale that has captivated audiences for generations. The story revolves around the majestic African savannah, where a young lion prince named Simba is born. Simba idolizes his father, the wise and powerful King Mufasa, and dreams of the day when he will ascend to the throne and rule the Pride Lands. However, not everyone in the kingdom shares Simba's enthusiasm for his royal destiny.

Scar, Mufasa's brother and former heir to the throne, harbors a deep-seated resentment towards his brother and plots to seize the throne for himself. Scar is voiced by the talented Chiwetel Ejiofor, who brings a chilling and sinister quality to the character. Scar's cunning and manipulative nature is on full display as he schemes to eliminate Mufasa and Simba, and take control of the Pride Lands.

The battle for Pride Rock is a tumultuous and heart-wrenching journey filled with betrayal, tragedy, and drama. Simba, voiced by the talented Donald Glover, is forced to confront the harsh realities of life and the consequences of his actions. With the help of a curious pair of newfound friends, Timon and Pumbaa, voiced by Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen respectively, Simba must learn to grow up and find the strength within himself to reclaim his rightful place as king. The journey is not an easy one, but it is ultimately a triumphant and inspiring tale of redemption and courage.

The Lion King is part of the The Lion King (Reboot) Collection.
