He was born into the royal family; this precocious little cub named Simba spends most of his days by exploring the extensive savanna grasslands as he idolizes his very kingly father named Mufasa; while youthfully avoiding the responsibility that his born position in life requires. As an unthinkable tragedy which was orchestrated by Scar, Simba\u2019s very wicked uncle as he takes the life of Simba\u2019s father; Simba flees the Pride Lands, leaving his very painful loss as well as the life behind him.\u00a0 Eventually he meets up with two very hilarious as well as being very unlucky friends, Simba starts anew.\u00a0 But, as the weight of the responsibility as well as the desperate plea from the now ravaged Pride Lands come to find the adult prince, he finds that he must now take on a very formidable enemy.\u00a0 With doing so he will fulfill his destiny to become the King.\u00a0 The Lion King is a very exciting tale from the great creators at Disney, a story of love as well as redemption that nobody should miss out on.<\/p>\n<p>Cast:<\/p>\n<p>Simba \u2013 Jelani Remy<\/p>\n<p>Young Simba (Alternating Performances \u2013 Cole Bullock &amp; Caleb McLaughlin<\/p>\n<p>Mufasa \u2013 L.
