In the film

"Elephant Graveyard" first plays as young Simba and Nala discover the Elephant Graveyard. The score becomes fast-paced as the hyenas chase them through the Graveyard. The underscore then changes tone, becoming more somber, as Mufasa reprimands Simba and teaches him about the Great Kings of the Past.
