From the opening score chanting loudly in Swahili to Simba introducing us to his carefree mantra, “Hakuna Matata,” Disney’s The Lion King is a subtle reminder of our childhood roots. On its 25th anniversary and in celebration of the remake, we’re proud and honored to announce that those roots can now be worn with our collaboration between MIZIZI International and Disney.
