Centuries ago in an ancient jungle, forty soldiers attacked the lions that lived there and killed their king. The soldiers were cursed by a wizard to be evil for all time unless the curse was broken. Generations later, Simba, a descendant of the king, learned that the soldiers had returned seeking revenge. Simba and his friends went into hiding to plan their defense. Simba discovered an ancient scroll detailing a ritual that could lift the curse from the soldiers. Simba and his friends confronted the soldiers and Simba performed the ritual, lifting the curse and allowing the soldiers' souls to be free from evil.
