In this 2024 film, written by Jeff Nathanson and directed by Barry Jenkins, the animation is designed to convey deeper emotions, with animal features and movements enhanced by human-like facial expressions, such as wonder, fear, sadness, love, and awe.

The story unfolds as Simba (voiced by Donald Glover) and Nala's (Beyoncé Knowles-Carter) cub, Kiara (Blue Ivy Carter), hears a tale told by the wise mandrill Rafiki (John Kani). Rafiki recounts the legendary story of Kiara's grandfather, Mufasa. The narrative reveals how Mufasa was separated from his parents and raised by lioness Eshe (Thandiwe Newton), alongside her son Taka (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), who would later become a crucial figure in Mufasa’s journey.
