Timon (Billy Eichner) and Pumba (Seth Rogen) listen in and comment, too. In the story, Scar (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.) was the prince of Pride Rock, while Mufasa was an orphan who joined the pride and formed a kingdom with Sarabi (Tiffany Boone) and Taka, Scar's name before he got his scar. They battle a gang of white lions for the land.
The late James Earl Jones voiced Mufasa in the original Lion King and Disney's 2019 remake. Jeremy Irons played Scar in 1994 and Chiwetel Ejiofor in 2019.
Barry Jenkins directs Mufasa.
