But what exactly could a prequel reveal about Africa’s pride? Continue reading to find out.
The Original ‘Lion King‘ Story
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).
Final Thoughts
Mufasa: The Lion King is sure to be a movie that many will always remember. Set to be in theatres on December 20th, fans everywhere have every right to be excited about this upcoming prequel. Seeing a character again who shaped the iconic world of The Lion King is bound to stir nostalgia and excitement. Mufasa: The Lion King promises to dive deeper into the origins of the beloved lion, revealing untold stories that shaped his journey to becoming king. With breathtaking visuals and a story that expands the rich legacy of the original, this prequel is one fans won’t want to miss.
