Mufasa is a deceased lion character from the Disney animated movie The Lion King. In the movie, he was killed by another lion named Scar.

History

After Lisa Simpson succeeded in having Bleeding Gums Murphy's music broadcast across Springfield, she saw Murphy appear in the clouds above the city. As he thanked her for preserving his musical legacy, he was unexpectedly joined by cloud-like appearances of Mufasa, Darth Vader, and James Earl Jones identifying himself with the phrase "This is CNN."

Behind the Laughter

Mufasa is a character from the film The Lion King. His voice in the movie was provided by James Earl Jones, but by Harry Shearer in the episode.

Mufasa's line, "You must avenge my death, Kimba... I mean, Simba", is a reference to the often-repeated but unfounded claims that The Lion King plagiarised the 1960s' animated series, Kimba the White Lion.
