How many years was it in The Lion King Story?

The timeline of The Lion King is a bit tricky, but it's generally considered to be about 15 years.

Here's a breakdown:

* Simba is born: At the beginning of the movie.

* Simba is a cub: He's around 2-3 years old when his father Mufasa dies and he flees.

* Simba lives with Timon and Pumbaa: This is a few years, possibly 4-5 years.

* Simba returns: This is 10 years after Mufasa's death, which would make Simba around 12-15 years old.

* Simba becomes king: After defeating Scar, Simba takes his place as king, and his reign continues for years afterward.

The exact number of years is not explicitly stated, but the 15-year mark seems to be a reasonable estimate based on the events of the movie.
