Who is Eshe?
Eshe is a pivotal character in Disney’s 2024 film “Mufasa: The Lion King,” which serves as both a prequel and sequel to the original “Lion King” narrative. As the queen of the pride, she is the mate of King Obasi and the mother of Taka, who later becomes known as Scar. Demonstrating compassion and wisdom, Eshe adopts the orphaned cub Mufasa, raising him alongside Taka.
