The Lion King tells the story of Simba (Glover), a young lion who is to succeed his father, Mufasa (Jones), as King of the Pride Lands.

With the help of two newfound friends, Timon (Eichner) and Pumbaa (Rogen), Simba grows up and learns the true meaning of responsibility and bravery. He eventually returns to the Pride Lands and reclaims his rightful place as King.
The Lion King was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $1.6 billion worldwide.
