Synopsis:

Simba is the little prince of the Lion Kingdom, and his father Mufasa is a majestic king. However, Uncle scar coveted Mufasa's throne for a long time.

To sit on the throne, scar must get rid of the little prince. So scar used all kinds of excuses to let Simba go out, and then waited for a chance to kill, but Mufasa came to rescue him immediately. After repeated calculations, Mufasa died tragically under scar, who persuaded Simba to leave with ulterior motives, and on the one hand sent someone to kill him all.

In his escape, Simba met the witty Timon and the kind Pumbaa, who raised Simba into a majestic lion and encouraged him to return to the forest to restore his country. In the next struggle to restore the country and save the people, Simba really grew into a strong man and understood the true meaning of responsibility.
