He tricks Simba and his best friend Nala into exploring a forbidden elephants’ graveyard, where they are chased by a clan of hyenas led by the ruthless Shenzi.

Mufasa shows Simba the Pride Lands and explains to him the responsibilities of kingship and the “circle of life,” which connects all living things. King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi present their newborn son, Simba, to the gathering animals by Rafiki the mandrill, the kingdom’s shaman, and advisor. In the Pride Lands of Africa, a pride of lions rules over the animal kingdom from Pride Rock.
