Honouring the Pride: A Legacy of Lions With Disney

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Disney’s iconic film The Lion King, a story that has captivated hearts across generations with its powerful themes of family, resilience, and the circle of life. To celebrate this momentous occasion and the upcoming release of Mufasa: The Lion King, Felix Studios had the extraordinary honour of teaming up with Disney and the Lion Recovery Fund to create a captivating visual experience.

As a production company specializing in wildlife documentation and conservation storytelling, we were thrilled to embark on this extraordinary adventure. For Felix Studios, this opportunity was more than a creative assignment—it was a defining moment. Being on location in Kenya, amidst the untamed beauty and under the same vast skies that inspired The Lion King, was a humbling and transformative experience for us as a brand. It reminded us of the profound impact stories can have in shaping our world and the responsibility we carry in telling them.

As Mufasa would remind us, “Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance.” We’re proud to contribute to conservation efforts, play a role in inspiring others to protect the pride and ensure that lions continue to reign, king of the jungle, for generations to come.

Let’s unite in the journey to safeguard the legacy of the lion.
