Mufasa from The Lion King is one of Disney's most iconic and beloved characters. Known for his wisdom, strength, and powerful presence, Mufasa is the father of Simba and the ruler of the Pride Lands. He embodies the qualities of a just and protective leader, with a deep understanding of the Circle of Life—a concept he passes on to Simba as a key lesson. Mufasa's voice is famously provided by James Earl Jones, whose deep, resonant tone lends a sense of authority and warmth to the character.

Mufasa’s tragic death at the hands of his brother Scar marks one of the most emotional moments in Disney history, highlighting themes of betrayal and the heavy burden of loss for young Simba. Yet, Mufasa’s spirit continues to guide Simba from the beyond, reminding him of his true identity and destiny as the future king.
