(Simba and his friends and family celebrate at Pride Rock by eating some steak and playing some party games such as throwing grubs, catching grubs and shooting grubs on the wall)

*Simba: Thanks mother.
*Sarafina: Ooh, you're looking good for the royal family.
*Nala: Ha ha. Very funny mother.
*Zazu: Man, I love when the sun is in good shape and heating up for the summer.
*Timon: Hey everybody! Free grubs for everyone!
*Pumbaa: Eat them up! *give out the grubs on the leaves*
*Bunga: Grubs!
*Ono: Oh boy. Time to stuff them up.
*Fuli: Gotta get the gummies.
*Beshte: It never get old on a Saturday.
*Ma: Oh Timon. How much I love your work.
*Uncle Max: He is like the bravest meerkat we ever known.
*Kiara: Boy, these games look sweet!
*Kion: They're the best of the best.
*Nala: How are we all doing today?
*Kion: Cool.
*Kiara: Pretty sharp.
*Makini: Hey Kion, we're here!
*Kion: Makini!
*Makini: Sorry if we're late. We were trying to catch up with the zebras on the other side of the savannah.
*Anga: Hope we're not too late.
*Kion: We are never late on anything.
*Simba: *look up in the clouds* Dad is always watching me, appreciating how much I have become. Happy Father's Day, dad.
*Nala: Mufasa would have loved what we made on the rock.
*Simba: A celebration of our biggest movie yet.
*Nala: You're always smiling.
*Simba: You know Nala. No worries.
*Timon: Hakuna Matata!
*Pumbaa: Hey champ. Are you doing anything today?
*Simba: I'm still gonna watch the world as usual.
*Timon: It's not that urgent that you got some other things to do around the continent.
*Simba: Everything's fine. No predator threats have occurred since Zira's attack on the Pride Lands.
*Pumbaa: Our friends are still visiting after all. It's no big deal.
*Rafiki: We are the Pride Landers of the world, your majesty. And we got a song to prepare.
*Simba: Be prepared. Just like what the late Uncle Scar said.
*Zazu: Eff! He almost burned the world with his rise of power. Our powerful song is much emotional than we think and we always sing it every year in the anniversary of our movie.
*Simba: I see what you mean.
*Kion: I think we're ready.
*Kiara: It's about time.
*Timon: Do what we have to do, champs.
*Pumbaa: Hakuna Matata!
*Kovu: It's showtime.
*Vitani: We gotta do what we gotta do.
*Simba: Everyone look in the sky.
*Nala: Stand in the rock.
*Zazu: And sing!
*Rafiki: This is for all of our friends and family in the universe. *sing*

*Simba: *walk on the top*
From the day we arrive on the planet
And, blinking, step into the sun
*Nala: *stand on a rock*
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
*Kion: *look around*
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
*Kiara: *watch the sun*
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
*Zazu: *fly around* Keeps great and small on the endless round.
*Rafiki: *look around*
It's the circle of life
And it moves us all
*Simba: *stand on the peak*
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
*Nala: *to Simba*
'Til we find our place
On the path unwinding
*Zazu: *fly around*
In the circle
The circle of life
*Timon: *sing* Whaaaat's on the menu? It could be ceviche, it's stinky—ooh, it's Pumbaa-aah...
*Pumbaa: I gotta tell ya, Timon... that song always gets me right here.
*Timon: Yeah, Pumbaa. Still a classic since the 90s.
*Kion: All these generations have worked to make this world a perfect world.
*Bunga: It is a better place after all.
*Fuli: It's in good hands.
*Beshte: Like my father said, once a lifetime pass, your family and friends will always be there for you and you will always see them in your life 'til the end of time.
*Ono: When we die, we become the grass and the antelope eat us as the grass.
*Makini: Don't we all turn to dust and sand when we die?
*Anga: Yes, but all not. Some.
*Zazu: I'll be a grass when I pass out.
*Simba: *feel the wind* Yeah.
*Mufasa: *spirit* Well done my son. We are one.
*Simba: Thank you for everything, dad.
*Sarabi: I miss you Mufasa.
*Everyone: *hold on together*
