Mufusa: The Lion King - Movie Review

[@M.W.K6996]

Honestly, I thought this movie was pretty good. Was there room for improvement? Well yeah, of course. And it was dedicated to James Earl Jones - and that's a pretty big thing to live up too. And while there were a few things that would have made the movie better, I still enjoyed watching it, and I consider it to be a good enough prequel story to the Lion King franchise. I've always wanted to see the story of Mufasa and Scar, and how brothers practically became mortal enemies. And while I would have prefered traditional 2D animation for this movie, I'll admit that the facial features were an improvement than the typical blank expressions from the other Disney live action remakes when it comes to animals. And having a pride of white lions was a good idea, because they were beautiful to watch. Also, most of the songs were pretty catchy; my favorite probably being the one with Mufasa and Sarabi. How Mufasa was portrayed as flawed but still grew to become brave, kind, and smart...that I really enjoyed. And how Mufasa made all the animals find their courage and practically formed their new way of life...also really good. Plus, to see how Pride Rock was formed, how Taka became known as Scar, how they met Sarabi, Zazu, and Rafiki - to me it was a beautiful story. And it's actually quite tragic, because we know the fate that awaits this one of a kind lion who wasn't born to be king...but was destined to become one. That being said, there were some things I didn't like. For starters, I was really annoyed whenever Timon and Pumbaa practically interrupted the story with their comments - if anything they should have enjoyed the story just as much as Kiara did - they may not have been in the story, but I believe that's what made it better. There was also Kiro's song...which I thought was pretty terrible. Kiros was a pretty intimidating character, and so, his song should have been more menacing - heck, Scar's song in the live action version was actually better than Kiro's. We should have seen the Outsiders kill (or at least viciously attack) Mufasa and Taka's clan. We saw Eshe bond with Mufasa, but it would have been nice to see Obasi bond with Mufasa too before his departure. It would have been good to see just how many days have passed as Mufasa and his new clan journey to Milele - I feel like that would have helped the chemistry buildup between Mufasa and Sarabi. I also would have prefered that after reuniting with his mother, Mufasa took the rest of the day to mourn the death of his father - and the very next day, roars over Pride Rock - symbolising the sun rising with him as the new king. I still think this was a good movie. And it definitely deserves more attention and recognition.

I found this video for my first time new here 2024 Mufasa The Lion King Fun to me but of course I feel their can be room for improvements I know The Lion King is my very first one that I know of as one from 2001 I love to consider it as I grew up with Lion King. I'm also a very huge fan of Lin Manuel Miranda. I hate 2019 Lion King sadly. I felt they emote better then they do 2019 that I did not feel their emotions. Lion King 2 I really love I decided to create my Troy future King son of Kovu and Kiara that I really love. Indeed I agree story is rushed messy. for Beyonce's daughter playing Kiara to me she was good I love when she shouted quiet to Timon and Pumbaa that is what I wanted as Timon and Pumbaa I hate to say it I always loved them since 1995 but they were way too much for me. I may have handled just a little of them who knows but they were too much!! Music forgettable but grown on me a little I feel still not the best work though.
