Learn More About the Music Featured in ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’

A brand new featurette for Disney’s upcoming movie, Mufasa: The Lion King has been released. The featurette features the movie’s director, Barry Jenkins and the movie’s songwriter, Lin-Manuel Miranda, discussing how the songs featured in the movie came to life.

In the new movie, “Rafiki relays 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.”
