So... Disney Are Making Another Lion King...

Disney has finally dropped their teaser trailer for the Lion Kind Remake... prequel. Naturally, it's all about Mufasa and there's two ways to think about this movie. On the one hand the 2019 Lion King remake lost a lot of artistic prowess by creating photorealistic character designs that struggled to express emotions.. not to mention it was a beat-for-beat copy of an superiorly done movie. But this time, it's an original sequel. With a whole new direct in Barry Jenkins, it looks like it could have the potential to return to its artistic routes. The motivation is certainly. But looking with our eyes, Mufasa: The Lion King Movie trailer seems pretty much the same as 5 years ago, with slight improvements maybe. I am quite the critic of the Lion King original remake, but will this movie be more Disney corporate cash grabbing, or will this be a brilliant blend of technological prowess, and box office popularity? Guess we'll just have to see. The fact are still clear that yes, Disney Are Making Another Lion King...

I'm confused by them saying mufasa doesn't have a drop of royal blood in his vains. I always assumed mufasa and scar were prince brothers and fought over the crown. If they aren't royal, why did scar think he could be king?

[@firstdegreesports5120]

Some weird new lore they're adding.

[@Jay-jb2vr]

Smdh here we go

[@Hazriel]

I mean it's more realistic than a lion royal bloodline, the leader of a pride is the biggest, strongers male who won it over by battle, and irl lionesses prefer dark maned males, so Scar "should" be king.

[@hweber4229]

Yeah, I always assumed that too. The fact that Mufasa doesn’t have royal blood goes against already established Lion King lore. We already know the story-Mufasa and Askari (aka Scar) (yes, Askari, not Taka!) were prince brothers, Mufasa was older so he got to be king, and Scar was jealous of him for it. If they’re not really brothers, that makes the whole story lose a lot of its impact. The reason why what Scar did was so evil was because he did it to his own brother, his own family.

[@Kelsey1987]

Yes, it literally makes no sense because in the original lion, King Mufasa even states that his father was one of the great kings of the past. It makes totally no sense and honestly I just think that they should’ve just gone with the original story.

Any sliver of interest in the movie was killed by the character list. If this is a prequel about Mufasa then why on earth are Simba, Timon, Pumba, Nala, AND KIARA all in this movie!?!?! I can see why they would be tempted to flash forward to a short scene of Simba grown up and taking the throne or something. But why is his daughter from the sequel here with an older child voice actress?! I'm scared this film is going to be split in half by telling Mufasa's story and then more about Simba. Such a mess either way.

Considering Kiara is gonna be in this, it makes wonder if they'll add Kion in a remake of The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride, that would actually be an improvement so the retcon makes more sense. This is probably the first time that Disney ever acknowledges their direct to video sequels in another project (while The Lion Guard is probably the first, this is definitely the first time in a theatrical movie that they acknowledge them. Though it's also not surprising because that sequel has an insane following with tons of fanart. Update: I forgot about video games). Speaking of retcons, it's weird to see Timon and Pumbaa in this movie, meaning that 1 1/2 doesn't happen in the remake's timeline.

I'll pass on this one, and Disney is making a big mistake about releasing it on the same day that Paramount will release Sonic 3 in theaters. From what has been revealed about that upcoming videogame adaption movie so far I think that it can out perform this Mufasa movie because: 1. Because of Disney loosing a major amount of it's fanbase, not a lot of people want to see movies that are made by that company lately, 2. Sonic 3 will have Shadow the hedgehog in it, 3. It got revealed that the celebrity actor Keanu Reeves will be voicing him, 4. It has been confirmed that Paramount got the rights to the most highly wanted game song for that movie (the Sonic Adventure 2 theme song: Live & learn by Crush 40) and will include it into the Sonic 3 movie because that studio doing that has become legal, 5. It got revealed that that movie has been getting a lot of inspiration from SA2, 6. A majority of people worldwide are already very much hyped for that movie and can't wait for it to be relased so they can watch it, 7. Paramount has been avoiding the idea of putting any woke BS into the Sonic movies. I think that the Sonic 3 movie will likely be the highly grossing box office winner because of those reveals and more.

Did Disney even get their research right??!!

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

It does but in the high altitude spots it’s rare though

[@kaysrandomchannel4618]

The idea is cool, but they're clearly making it for the money.

[@philipphalter926]

why didn't they just make a 2d-animated prequel ?

[@farissoliman7282]

Because that would be something that everyone would actually love

[@philipphalter926]

[@weresqrl]

They don't really have the capacity for 2D anymore. They threw out all the 2D tech and got rid of their 2D artists a long time ago. 2D is a dying art, unfortunately.

Frofits guaranteed? The box office hasn't been kind to sequels of Disney live-action remakes.

[@greninjastorm6734]

Regardless of whether it's good or not, I'm gonna pirate it because after the first one bored me to tears, I'm not going to give them my money. I'm going to see Sonic 3 when that comes out I also just found they put the absolute legend that is Keith David in this movie

[@yoshi_chuck05]

I’m in the same boat as you Dazz, I really despise the 2019 demake of the beloved film but it was a shock to hear/see that Lin Manuel Maranda is going to be doing the songs in this and I just hope that this isn’t another scuttlebutt moment or he actually wakes up from that curse and makes some good af songs! And I’m also hoping that this movie makes sure that they treat Mufasa well in this including his backstory. And I think it’s an improvement for the emotional expressions on the lions faces when compared to the first one so at least that’s a plus.

[@Wolfie54545]

Can’t wait for another retcon of Scar’s backstory.

Why does the thumbnail look like young Mufasa’s making bubbles in the lake?

[@mr.fluffyface431]

I mean... I'd prefer traditional animation but at least this one HAS to have an original story. Well, original-ish

[@BrontoSmilodon1]

This movie should have released in 2014 - 2015 because whenever a movie connected to a previous remake arrives the box office goes down compared to the previous film.

[@savageratentertainment]

sonic 3 is gonna wip the floor with this movie...it's just a soulles take on a beloved franchise and somehow timon and bomba are in it?! even though they never heard of the guy before. then again now-a-days I wouldn't give Disney a dime....

[@GarethMatteson]

Where did you see something saying that Beyoncé and Blue Ivy are “doing the soundtrack”? If you think that’s why their names show up in the credits at the end of the trailer, that’s just referring to their voice-acting appearances in the movie as Nala and Kiara, respectively. Also, Beyoncé only did one song in the first Lion King, which isn’t the same thing as saying that she “did the soundtrack”, which kinda implies that she scored it or at least wrote an EP’s worth of original songs.

[@starblissgames]

Am I the only one who thinks the CGI actually looks worse than the 2019 movie?

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

It definitely looks cheaper. The characters don't feel like they're part of the scenery and it feels almost cartoony

[@viaxxl]

Yeah it’s strange

[@Corona567]

They aren't related. Scar has every RIGHT to kill mufasa for HIS rightful thrown.

[@AlexandraM689]

Only if taka and scar are one and the same, maybe they will change that too and have someone else be scar

[@BrontoSmilodon1]

I'm sorry the animation looks way worse than the 2019 aniation.

[@shiethegal]

Gotta admit, I'm more interested in the Mufasa movie than I was in the 2019 Lion King remake. At least it's trying to do something different. IMO the best Disney live action remakes are the ones that differ greatly from their source material. The Maleficent and Cruella movies are my favorites among the live action remakes because of that fact. Because honestly, what's the point in doing a remake if you're just telling the same story beat for beat, shot for shot?

[@lexramstudios1386]

At least the animals have emotion here

[@changingpeopleslivesmoon2993]

This is like FNAF and FNAF 2 now that i think about it: The sequel is a prequel Maybe we'll see how Scar got his scar (IS THAT THE BITE OF 87?????) That's it, that's all i got

[@ericcavalier3205]

At least the CGI in this sequel shows a little more expressiveness to the animals than in the first film

[@crowthethingy]

1:20 "it does look like they are tigers"

[@zbr76]

To be fair to Disney - something I didn't think I'd say in 2024 - they kind of NEED a big hit. Wasn't Encanto the last moderate hit to come from the studio?

[@abbray]

What was the last original animal disney movie? Like movie where the main character is just an animal (normal animal)? Was it seriously Bolt- has it been 16 years?

[@WaveDaSeaWing]

An original story that looks good? You sure this is Disney?

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

This looks pretty bad. I've been watching Prehistoric Planet lately, and it's amazing how realistic they look. Of course that production company doesn't cut corners the way Disney does either, and it shows in the trailer.

[@HeartlessNobodyXIII]

Tiger? Idk I’ve seen The Tiger King. It was a bit different than this.

In the 2020 movie Call of the Wild the animals did NOT talk but they DID have facial expressions, proving that cgi animals CAN be expressive. I'm glad they seem to be addressing this. All I want from this movie is the least bit of expression from the animals.

[@alexoraedu4787]

Also James Earl Jones hasn't been replaced...my understanding is Aaron is playing young Mufasa 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@imle9279]

The close up shot of the lion’s (I assume it’s Mufasa) muzzle, face and ear looks like it’s an actual lion. It’s so accurate to how an irl lion looks like, it’s insane what computers can do nowadays! No need for animals in capticity for the movie industry anymore! But I’m scared they’ll fuck up this movie somehow.. I’ve lost faith in Disney a long time ago.
