It has been years since I first watched the Disney film, but the Simba-Mufasa story has stayed fresh in my heart. Mufasa is a gentle giant who is faithful to his subjects and is respectful of every animal in Pride Rock. When his son, the adorable Simba, is born, he begins to prepare him for the throne and the big, bad world via a few misadventures and some nuggets of wisdom.
