Mufasa: The Lion King | Teaser Trailer
A lion who would change our lives forever. #Mufasa: The Lion King, in theaters December 20.
“Mufasa: The Lion King” enlists Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick.
