MUFASA: The Lion King (Official Teaser Trailer) The Popcorn Junkies Reaction

Mufasa: The Lion King is an upcoming American musical drama film directed by Barry Jenkins, written by Jeff Nathanson, and produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Pastel Productions. It is the live-action styled photorealistic animated prequel to the similarly created 2019 remake of the original 1994 film The Lion King. Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, John Kani and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter reprise their character roles from the remake, and are joined by Aaron Pierre, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Tiffany Boone, Mads Mikkelsen, Thandiwe Newton, Lennie James, and Blue Ivy Carter in her feature film debut.
Development on a prequel to The Lion King was confirmed in September 2020, with Jenkins attached to direct and Nathanson finishing a draft of the script. Pierre and Harrison Jr. were announced as the voice cast in August 2021, followed by further casting between September 2022 and April 2024. The film was officially announced when its official title was revealed in September 2022 at the 2022 D23 Expo announcement. Production on the film slowed down in July 2023 due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.
Mufasa: The Lion King is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 20, 2024, by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.

That’s a first Bambi with Lions! My English Literature teacher compared The Lion King to Hamlet 😊

[@t-money3.3.3]

Well The Lion King was inspired by Hamlet, with a little bit of Bambi and Moses thrown in

[@TeresaHutchinson1982]

Im a lion king fangirl, love the originsl love the "live action" and i loved the stage play of it.

[@ShakirahIbaad]

This actually looks really good. Mufasa’s story is full of potential for a great movie. I get what you are saying with CGI vs traditional animation. It does force film makers to produce something more serious. In this case though, it provides a wonderful opportunity to showcase sub Saharan African nature and culture through the story of a character we all know and love, but don’t actually know much about.

[@allysonwolf5721]

I don't understand how Pumba and Timone are in this? They weren't alive. Unless they can live very long lives. And wasn't the first time they met a lion was Simba as a cub?

[@lior.vibefeeler9500]

If Rafiki isn’t in this, imma riot!

[@janebentley5418]

Mark!!! Is your eye okay? We are worried 😟

[@lynnesheard8895]

I love the lion king so might watch it

[@michellenye3742]

Hope you are ok Mark with your eye ? X

[@Bossman68123]

Any news on mark though? Update?

[@ShakirahIbaad]

😂 ‘I’ve got an uncle called Mustafa’ ‘has he got a moustache?’ ‘Yeh’ 😂 ‘but it’s got nothing to do with a moustache!’ 😂 (Mustafa means chosen one by the way for anyone wondering, it’s also not the same as the name Mufasa 😂).

[@CatherineMcLoughlin-fl9sx]

I guess this is one to bring the kids to for Christmas

[@lior.vibefeeler9500]

I can’t remember the actual words the the opening African song in lion king but I DO know the lyrics to the song rafiki the baboon sings! Asante sana squashed we we nugu we we nampana! (a quick check on google tells me I only got one word wrong - it’s mimi hapana - so I’m quite impressed with my memory) it means thank you squashed banana, you’re a baboon, and I’m not 😅

[@GrainneScarlett]

I'm not sure why I couldn't relate to the live action version of this Vs the original. The lion king to me is the pinnacle of Disney. It's when everything came together at the right time to make a bit of magic. I know the general story is essentially Bambi with lions 🤣. But it was much more refined and just was perfection to me. It also probably was the first film that made me realise that life really isn't straightforward and bad things really do happen. Honestly it probably terrified little 8 year old me. I enjoyed the musical also it must be said. Not sure about this one either I must say. But I'll give it a whirl I guess. I did notice that it introduces "blue ivy carter". Nepotism is alive and well 😂😂

[@kimcarroll9666]

I’ve never sat through the lion king My neighbour put me off. She kept singing some song from it. Over and over. Put me right off

[@sailorcheri]

I like the idea of Mufasa’s story. But I’m with you on the ‘live action CGI’ stuff. Not a fan when it’s made to look too life like. Drawn animation uses imagination. I do love Lin-Manuel tho 🥳 so the music will be awesome.

[@michellenye3742]

Love the cartoon Disney Lion King. I agree with Nadia I want real lions 🦁!!!

[@Beckyphythian]

Looks brilliant the cgi looks good. Excited to watch 😺

[@rachelwoodward9701]

😂😂😂brilliant guys..migration had me wetting myself then Nadia oh the films called Mufasa! So funny 😁 😂😂ps hope you're ok Mark? X

[@stclb88]

Your faces 😂

[@shelleysilver6597]

OMG!. Mark I hope you are ok. 🤗 I agree with you Both. I Loved the Original Lion King. And I didn’t realise Beyonce and her Daughter Blue Ivy are Voice Actors in this as well. 🦁

[@kimcarroll9666]

I love true crime.

[@brunaribeiro7146]

Want real lions?? Don’t get it… watch natgeo. At the live action people complained that they had no expressions, they made it look as real as possible. Now they do have expressions, and of course we can notice all the cgi ‘cause animals don’t have this kind of expressions, an guess what? People are also complaining…

[@angelagabathuler9199]

🎶🎶🎶💯👌👌👍👍👍😉😎🌞

[@Sandy809]

The original Lion King was the best, don’t need any more! 🦁 Let us know your eye ok my lovely 💝

[@Alex55555]

Real animals don't emote or behave like humans do. Why the hell would they do a movie with this kind of humanised story in live action? It is not a documentary about animals... What is wrong with good animation?!

[@Kaz.Williams]

To be fair to Mark, his version was somewhat better Nadia you were way off lol but please both, I love you but, don't butcher that iconic song again 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

[@kevinmatthew1050]

There is no point to this movie.
