๐ŸŽฌ Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) โ€“ The Legend Begins

Disneyโ€™s Mufasa: The Lion King is a breathtaking prequel that dives into the origins of one of the most beloved characters in animated history. Directed by Barry Jenkins (Moonlight), this film takes audiences back to the Pride Lands long before Simbaโ€™s reign, unveiling the untold story of Mufasaโ€™s rise from an orphaned cub to the noble king we remember.
Told through the narration of Rafiki, alongside Timon and Pumbaaโ€™s comedic interjections, the story follows a young Mufasa, who starts as a powerless outsider with no royal lineage.

With stunning CGI animation, a powerful musical score, and an emotionally charged narrative, Mufasa: The Lion King promises to deepen the legacy of The Lion King universe. Itโ€™s a story of courage, destiny, and the weight of responsibility, reminding us that even the greatest kings come from humble beginnings.
