The wise Rafiki appears as the story’s narrator and describes the plot as centering on a lion who “will change everyone’s lives.” Several new environments are shown, including the swamps of Africa, more snowy mountains and deep rivers. A young Mufasa appears imposing in the rocky desert, being described by Rafiki himself as a lion born “without any nobility” – and who will embark on a journey that will transform him into the leader as we know him.
