Yeah for some reason they are a part of Mufasa's story (but hey new LMM songs that could be exciting... especially since he didn't contribute to Moana 2 this time) I'm curious to see how, hell I want to see how they ended up where they ended up (my theory is Mufasa was going to eat them but instead he spares them, and little did anyone know Timon and Pumbaa would repay him posthumously) I'd rather accept the Lion King 1 1/2 is cannon
