But first, we must talk about the movie that started it all! Many consider The Lion King (1994) a classic. And there are so many reasons why. With a powerful storyline and catchy musical pieces, it’s no wonder Disney is seeking to explore more of its characters. In the animated film, Simba, the heir to his father’s throne, narrowly escapes death as a cub. Simba flees and returns as an adult to regain control of his homeland and be the kind of leader his father always knew he could be. With he does so, with the help of his friends Timon and Pumbaa. 

The King Rises Again

Mufasa: The Lion King is the story we all didn’t know we needed. While Disney hasn’t released much to say about the film, watching the trailer can greatly help one understand. As depicted, the movie will unveil the untold story of Mufasa and Taka (Scar) when they were brothers. Mufasa, an orphaned cub, discovers Taka’s pride but gets rejected by fellow lions because he is an outsider.

But even with the hesitations from his pride, Taka and Mufasa grow into a bond and see each other as brothers. The trailer allows you to imagine how animosity grows between the two brothers, but it will surely be a story meant to tug at your heartstrings, just like the original The Lion King (1994).
