Episode description

This December, Disney is bringing "Mufasa: The Lion King" to cinemas around the world.  The film calls on Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick. Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone, until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka—the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny—their bonds will be tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe. 

Recently, I got to speak with the film's composer, Dave Metzger, about his work on the film, including sharing his thoughts on the pressure of working on a franchise he's spent decades working on.

"Mufasa: The Lion King" is out now in cinemas and will be coming to Disney+ in 2025.
