Rogen, Eichner Discuss Roles in Mufasa Film

Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen reprise their roles as Timon and Pumbaa in Disney's 'Mufasa: The Lion King', discussing their characters, the film's improvisational nature, and their desire for original songs. Despite their comedic talents, they humorously lament that Lin-Manuel Miranda did not write them a song for the film, joking about their singing abilities in comparison to Dwayne Johnson. The movie's narrative focuses on Mufasa's early life, told through Rafiki to Simba and Nala's daughter, Kiara, with Eichner and Rogen emphasizing their improvisational contributions to the film. Director Barry Jenkins encouraged their free-form style, leading to a significant amount of their ad-libbed dialogue making it into the final cut. 'Mufasa: The Lion King' is currently in theaters, showcasing how the beloved characters continue to resonate with audiences.
