Mufasa: The Lion King (2024)

(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)

It’s no surprise that Disney decided to make a sequel to their “live-action” remake of The Lion King. After all, the film made over a billion dollars at the worldwide box-office! However, the sequel would not be based on Disneytoon Studios’ The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride; instead it turned out to be an original film detailing Mufasa’s backstory. Was it any good? Read on to find out!

(And like I said when I reviewed The Lion King, yes, I know this is an animated film and not a “live-action” one, but Disney is treating it as such and it’s my blog, so I can do what I want, hence I choose to review it on this blog rather than my animation blog.)

And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!

The Lion King (2019)

(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! You can find a link to it at the top left-hand corner of this blog. Thanks!)

Yes, I know that this isn’t a live-action film at all (barring like one shot in the beginning of the film), but Disney is treating this like their live-action remakes and I know many of you would like to see how I rank it compared to the other live-action remakes. Hence, I am reviewing it on this blog!

It’s also my blog and I can do what I want!

When Disney hit gold with their 2016 live-action remake of The Jungle Book, directed by Jon Favreau, it only made sense for them to try to do it again with another animal-themed film. What better one than the film considered by many to be their magnum opus, The Lion King?

Before I dive into the review, I’d like to point out that it’s nigh impossible to watch this film without comparing it to the original! As the story is literally the same overall, I’ll try to point out the changes that were made in this remake. With that in mind, be prepared!

Ugh, don’t get me started on that!
