“The king has returned.”
Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub's arrival.

With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his.
