What's the story?
THE LION KING is the story of Simba (voiced by Jonathan
Taylor Thomas as a child and Matthew
Broderick as an adult), the cub of Mufasa
(James
Earl Jones), the king of the jungle. Simba
"just can't wait to be king." But his evil Uncle Scar (Jeremy Irons), bitterly jealous of Mufasa, wants to be king, so he
arranges for Mufasa to be killed in a stampede and makes Simba think he's
responsible. Simba runs away and finds friends in Pumbaa the warthog (Ernie Sabella) and Timon the meerkat (Nathan Lane), who advise him that the best philosophy is
"hakuna matata" (no worries). Simba grows up thinking that he has
escaped his past, but his childhood friend Nala finds him and tells him that,
under Scar's leadership, the tribe has suffered badly.
