Dust rises in a narrow gorge, a herd thunders through, and a lion cub learns that the crown comes at a price. Simba is heir to the Pride Lands, raised by his father Mufasa and quite certain that kingship means doing as one pleases. His uncle Scar, patient and persuasive, has other arrangements in mind. Guilt sends the young lion far from home, where a warthog and a meerkat offer shelter, snacks and a philosophy of no worries. The past, however, keeps its own schedule.
