Act I
As the sun rises, Rebecca the Diplodocus calls the animals to Prehistoric Mountain. She greets King Oren and Queen Sarah and Serena before presenting their girl with flippers to the gathered animals ("Circle of Life"). Elsewhere, Zira and Scar headslap and bemoan their lost chance at becoming King. Back at her forest, Rebecca paints an image of the Cryptoclidus and asks us to conjure the new princess's name: Kayla.

Time passes and Kayla grows into a boisterous teenager ("Grasslands Chant"). Oren shows Kayla the Kingdom from the top of Prehistoric Mountain and explains that everything exists in a delicate balance known as the Circle of Life. Oren warns Kayla not to stray beyond the boundaries of the Pride Lands, pointing out a shadowy area in the distance. Valerie who acts as Oren's advisor, arrives and delivers his daily report on the state of affairs in the King's domain ("The Morning Report").
