==Transcript==
(At the Pride Lands, we head across Pride Rock where Simba and his friends are chilling for the day while some of their friends play in the rock on their free time)
*Simba: What a day in the Pride Lands.
*Nala: Look at all the grubs we collected in a day.
*Kiara: I can't stop eating all the grubs.
*Kion: They're so good!
*Timon: Fresh out of the ground and made with lot of love.
*Pumbaa: I never stop eating them like I'm in love with them!
*Rafiki: You got good taste in foods, Pumbaa.
*Zazu: Grubs never get old on a Monday.
*Bunga: The food taste the joys!
*Fuli: Whatever.
*Beshte: Classic.
*Ono: Better luck than ever.
*Sarabi: I love how well you guys cook these.
*Sarafina: Never get old on a Monday.
*Rafiki: Did anyone have what they need?
*Simba: Yes. We all have what we got.
*Zazu: Oh good. You wouldn't be hungry to go shopping when on a empty stomach.
*Kovu: Believe me. I lived in the mounds for almost few seasons and we had nothing but garbage.
*Vitani: You wouldn't like it in the Outlands. There is always no food and water when you enter.
*Timon: Ouch! That gotta hurt.
*Pumbaa: I would have throw up on a garbage can if I ever ate a ten season old sandwich with worms on top.
*Simba: Oh Pumbaa, you're so funny. *see a spirit of Mufasa* What the?
*Kion: Grandfather?
*Kiara: Oh my god. It's Mufasa!
*Nala: What is he doing here?
*Mufasa: Hello Simba, my son.
*Simba: Hey dad. How it's going?
*Timon: That's a Great King of the Past?
*Pumbaa: Simba is right about everything.
*Mufasa: Simba, you remember in 2019 when we have a live-action remake of our movie.
*Simba: Yeah, I remember. I remember when the Lion King remake broke records at the box-office.
*Bunga: No way.
*Ono: Even bigger as an Avengers movie.
*Mufasa: Well good news. There is a new Lion King movie coming in December 20, 2024. And guess what, it's a origin story for me and is a prequel to the 2019 film.
*Simba: Oh wow.
*Nala: Woo hoo!
*Kiara: Another Lion King movie already?
*Kion: I can't believe it's happening.
*Kovu: Cool! We already had another Lion King film since 2019.
*Vitani: Ugh, seriously? A prequel to the Lion King remake? That movie look soulless and it's gonna be one of those boring films no one have even asked to watch. I'll rather see another terrible live-action remake than a remake of Simba's Pride.
*Rafiki: Just remember. It's not a remake of Simba's Pride. It's just a original movie with an original story.
*Vitani: But still, it look like a soulless movie with no heart and capture of a original animated film!
*Zazu: Uh! We do not want to spread any negativity together on a positive day with good news.
*Fuli: *annoyed* Every year is always like an episode.
*Simba: Anyways, let's all watch the new trailer together for the new Lion King movie.
*Mufasa: It is Mufasa: The Lion King.
*Simba: Right.
*Timon: Time to watch the new Mufasa: The Lion King trailer everybody!
*Pumbaa: Prepare the TV!
*Rafiki: It's showtime folks. *chuckles and turn on the trailer*
(The trailer for Mufasa: The Lion King begins as we see Mufasa and a bunch of lions living in a snow area in a ice cavern, a big tree with a young Rafiki and a mandrill looking at a firefly, zebras running from hyenas, buzzards flying through a desert, a young Mufasa on the top of a edge with a waterdrop falling towards him, views of a waterfall, a close-up of a young Mufasa, Mufasa and a lion cub running on hippos in the water, Mufasa in the water and getting attacked by crocodiles, animals and Mufasa running with Rafiki mentioning the Earth will shake as most cliffs fall apart of the land. More footage shows Mufasa and Sarabi running in the snow area, an hornbill flying out of the tree, Rafiki with Mufasa, animals gathering around, Mufasa looking at the stars, Mufasa on a cliff with the waterfall, Mufasa in the water, elephants making noises, a rogue lion running, Mufasa roaring, a crocodile going after Mufasa, Timon and Pumbaa going after a rogue lion (Scar maybe?), Mufasa running and jumping as a young Mufasa falls off the tree with the logo of the movie shown. Simba and his friends are shocked by the looks of the trailer with a big surprise.)
*Rafiki: *emotional* Man, any story worth telling is worth telling twice. *shred a tear* Wow.
*Simba: Oh, my wow.
*Nala: That was...
*Kiara: It's... beautiful!
*Timon: What were they thinking? It's beautifully shot.
*Pumbaa: The realistic animals never fail to impress me!
*Rafiki: Hoo hoo hoo. Like I said! Any story worth telling is worth telling twice!
*Zazu: I'm getting goosebumps!
*Mufasa: That was emotional. How did you all enjoy the trailer?
*Simba: Dad, it is the best.
*Nala: I almost cried 'til the end.
*Kiara: Ooh, I never expect to see snow in a Lion King movie.
*Kion: Didn't we had snow in a episode of Lion Guard before? I bet it was that one episode where we met the young gorilla brothers to deliver a message to our king.
*Bunga: What a amazing trailer.
*Fuli: Eh, it look alright.
*Ono: This look fun.
*Beshte: Never say never.
*Timon: Whoa, is that us in the Battle of Pride Rock?
*Pumbaa: What were we doing fighting Scar?
*Timon: Didn't Simba fought his uncle Scar in the actual film?
*Pumbaa: I guess. But what were we doing back in the rock? Fight the hyenas?
*Timon: Like in the third movie?
*Pumbaa: I dunno. I don't see your Ma and Uncle Max around here.
*Sarabi: That was impressive.
*Sarafina: This is where you came from? In the snow?
*Sarabi: Who knows? The original movie never address where we came from.
*Rafiki: Good news Kiara, I heard you're gonna be in the new Mufasa: The Lion King movie!
*Kiara: Oh my gosh! I can't believe it. I'm gonna be in Mufasa: The Lion King.
*Simba: What the? How? The movie is suppose to be a prequel.
*Rafiki: Well, in the opening scenes set in the present day, me, Zazu, Timon and Pumbaa will tell the story to Kiara on where Mufasa used to come from.
*Timon: Me and Pumbaa are said to add some color commentary in it.
*Pumbaa: Yep so we can entertain the story and not bore them over an hour.
*Rafiki: Oh Simba and Nala, you are in the movie too.
*Simba: Nice.
*Nala: I see where this is going.
*Mufasa: Thank you all for watching my new trailer for my movie. I'll see you all in December.
*Simba: We will be there.
*Rafiki: Thank you for everything, Mufasa.
*Mufasa: See you all later. The Circle of Life lives on. *disappear*
*Simba: Thank you father.
*Timon: Your dad is a real treasure.
*Pumbaa: Just like Dandy Claws.
*Nala: He is the one that open the Pride Lands for everyone.
*Zazu: Without him, the world would have never been the same.
*Rafiki: And thank once again for watching the trailer for Mufasa: The Lion King.
*Simba: Until then, Hakuna Matata. *wink eye*
