The story

Simba is a young lion prince who lives in the Pridelands. He loves his father Mufasa and is very adventurous, ignoring his responsibilities as the future king. When his Uncle Scar tries to take the kingdom from him, Simba flees and goes to live with Timon and Pumbaa. He eventually learns he must step up and, with the help of his friends, fulfill his destiny to become king.
