Voiced as a cub by Jonathan Taylor Thomas and as an adult by Matthew Broderick, Simba is the spirited son of the wise and noble King Mufasa, brought to life with commanding gravitas by James Earl Jones.

Forced into exile by guilt and manipulation, Simba abandons his destiny and finds solace in a carefree new life with the witty meerkat Timon (Nathan Lane) and the flatulent warthog Pumbaa (Jim Cummings).
