The Lion King tells the story of Simba (Glover), a young lion who is to succeed his father, Mufasa (Jones), as King of the Pride Lands. However, Simba's paternal uncle Scar (Ejiofor) plots to usurp the throne and murders Mufasa. Simba is manipulated into thinking he was responsible for Mufasa's death and flees into exile.
With the help of two newfound friends, Timon (Eichner) and Pumbaa (Rogen), Simba grows up and learns the true meaning of responsibility and bravery. He eventually returns to the Pride Lands and reclaims his rightful place as King.
The Lion King was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $1.6 billion worldwide.

The film won two Academy Awards for Best Original Score and Best Original Song ("Can You Feel the Love Tonight").
The Lion King is a timeless classic that has been enjoyed by audiences of all ages for generations. It is a story about family, friendship, responsibility, and the importance of finding your place in the world.
