Whaaat? You’re telling me that making a prequel live action adaptation of a hand drawn movie that nobody asked for was a bad movie? Butter my biscuits! Jeepers Creepers! Slap me with a trout!
I agree: It would have been better if Mufasa was the one who gave Taka his scar. It even makes a little bit of sense with the 2019 live action. In that version, after Mufasa roars at Scar’s insolence, Scar says “I would never challenge you… again”, implying that Mufasa might have been the one who scratched his eye
Mufasa is much better than you expect. I saw Mufasa and it was the GOAT I think Sonic 3 would make some million but MUFASA WAS, IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE GOAT
The biggest mistake that movie made was being a prequel to the live action movie instead of the original movie. It could've been reminiscent of how the old films looked from the 90s while also giving it a look to make it look modern, like the original intentions for the animation for Wish, having it looking like an old traditional 2D animated film from the 30s-90s while also giving it a modern vibe to it like Princess & The Frog for example.
they want money, thats too artistically rich for corporative disney nowdays, how are they supossed to crash on those adult wallets if they dont make it seem grow up? obviosly sarcasm, but i doubt they would take 2d animation ever again, even if we have ways to make the 3d seen 2d. This gives cash and there going to keep doing it until it dosent. If you want to see actually good stuff i recomend Saloon cartoon movies, or anything with a more indie vibe.
They completely destroyed their own lore… Disney had Mufasa’s lineage mapped out- and he came from royalty, was related to Scar by blood. It’s so irritating.
@WCStudio.The 2019 one is shot for shot remake. They didn't really do anything new so why retcon? Just feels like they're trying to make him "relatable" because he doesn't come from royalty.

I also think how Scar teamed up with the outsiders really shows how he was able to make the connection with the hyenas and be able to manipulate them onto his side. Scar both told the hyenas and the outsider pride about revenge. So to me it still works.

I think for kids that watched the Lion Guard and the OG movie, having a hand drawn movie would have been the way to go. Studio Ghibli still makes 2D films that are successful like the Boy and the Heron.
My immediate guess is because its a soulless live action cash grab that destroys the better lore told in The Lion Guard. I will only accept this as an origin story in the Live action Lion King and nothing more than that. Try to apply it to the animated movies and yeah, I will be mad
Yes the lion guard is the lore provider for the hand drawn animated lion king universe and this film is the lore provider for the photorealistic lion king universe
@teaz3139 a snake that caused him to go crazy and end the lives of the rest of the members of the Lion Guard. Heck if I'm not mistaken that same snake shows up as a villain. My gosh I bet you hate Rapunzel's Tangled adventures as well
I read the Disney's Twisted series, which is essentially the Disney version of Marvel's What If. "What if Mulan had to travel through the Chinese Underworld," -- [Shang was struck down by Shan Yu instead of her in the mountain pass,] "What if the Blue Fairy wasn't supposed to help Pinocchio" -- [Essentially works as a huge prequel story to the original movie] And the few I've read have been good. Which then always makes me wonder if, instead of remaking the ORIGINAL movies--they could have made Alternate Universes? It's an alternate Universe, so why not be live action this time? It's an Alternate Universe, you can change ANYTHING without the fans coming at you with torches and pitchforks. There is so much creative potential in Alternate Universes that you can revisit the SAME story as many times as you want because one little 'what if' can change so much.
I don’t believe Mufasa is canon to the 1994 Lion King,but the live action Lion King and I believe the live action Lion kings movies are alternate universe and only believe is canon to the 1994 Lion King is Lion King 2:Simba’s Pride,Lion King 1 1/2,and Lion guard. Also not going see the Mufasa because wasn’t Huge fan of live action Lion King and my opinion Lion King it the worst Disney live action of all time and the trailers I saw I don’t like what they doing Lion King like make Mufasa a orphan and Scar the rightful king make no sense. Also My opinion 1994 Lion King is one of the best thing Disney ever made and Scar is my favorite Disney villain of all time.
fr lion king was such a dissapointing live action, most of them are like mulan and pinnochio and snow white. they need to stop before they make things worse for their reputation.
@rosevee34 the actual animated Disney sequel...is fanon? How it was literally said in the sequel movie when Nuka is gripping about having to look after Kovu and how Kovu is the chosen one, despite Kovu being adopted by Scar.
@@sarahtelles1931its fanon that Nuka and Vitani are Scar's children. All 3 (Nuka, Vitani and Kovu) were meant to be Scar' children but then they realised that meant Kiara would be getting with her dads cousin so made it that Kovu simply chosen by Scar instead of being his son. But they never said anything about Nuka and Vitani so fans assume its Scar
I still don't understand why he saved him in the end... Like... For what?? He saved him in the beginning to betray him to save him again to kill him huh
I hate when all movies are trying to do now is make villains understandable, like no, they're villains for a reason I'm not supposed to like the creep I'm supposed to hate him, now all I do is feel sorry for scar because the outsider made him an outsider, now it's okay for him to take revenge instead of meticulous planning tenacity spanning "although decades of denial makes sense" but like that's supposed to be his selfish narcissism not his justified right to the throne
It's already happening...I've read commented where Mufasa stole Sarabi from Taka. As soon as I realized that was the entire reason for Taka apparently turning on Mufasa, I realized...this was going to be stupid. Scar was an incel.. That's it. That's the story.
@nicholasmartin5167 I feel like they tried to reference the books where Taka got his scar from a failed plan to get revange at Mufasa for being favoured by their dad.
Transformers One did the angle of two people loving each other like brothers but are slowly torn apart by clashing ideologies where one gives into their jealousy and rage while the other channels his anger into protecting others and caring about the future of his people like a king would. We know that Megatron and Optimus Prime will end the film as enemies but the movie treats it seriously and as the tragedy it is. And this is not a slight against TF One, it’s a genuinely great film but given the grandiose of the Lion King you think Disney would have done something similar.
I do love the original Lion King, however, comparing this movie to it I feel is unfair since its a completely new story and animation style. I went into this movie wanting to see cgi lions, a completely new story from this universe (since I loved Lion King 2 so much as a kid), and the villain from the trailers (who was both gorgeous and intimidating). I will say cutting out all the present scenes and just having the movie fully be in the past would've help its identity. Side note: In the back of my mind while watching the fight scenes, I was thinking, "what if this was rated P-13 or R?"
Oh really boyo? You said "Hurr stop comparez to original, itz differrrrrrr" when Disney said it's literally a "remake" (a bad CGI version at that) with everything done to mimic and leech on original movie and TV series' lore. And no, pretending it's standalone still won't make a turd more shiny.
He really did! What would have really sealed the deal would have been a track from Sonic Adventure 2. Sonic Adventure 1's Theme of Tikal (the OST CD version) is the closest. Edit: There's also a Pokémon song in there, too.
Kovu is not Scars son. He was born roughly around Kieara's time of birth hence why they are very close in age. And by then Scar was already gone. (Stating this cause it will get rid of the implication that keiara and kovu may be cousins tho given with the current lore of the lion king who really knows at this point.)
Ngl id rather watch the Narnia films then ether of the remakes of TLK. Idk they lions just feel too uncanny-valley for me,tbey should’ve just made some thing actually original with lions. It’s dumb there hellbent on destroying every shred of canon the original films had
I found it pretty good. I didn't like that Mufasa and Scar weren't blood brothers like in the original, but that was the only thing I didn't like, but the music, scenery, the voice acting were what I loved about the movie.
Anyone else hate how the photorealistic lion king is desperate to force a love triangle between Sarabi, Mufasa, and Scar? Reducing Sarabi to a lust object and reducing scar's motivations to incel
The animation was... okay? But I was a bit underwhelmed by the fights. I do have a few cats and sometimes they just play with each other. That looks more intense than the fights in the movie (and with my cats nothing happens lmao in the movie lions die). No fur thats flying around (esp with all the claws), no smaller stones or pebbles that get flown around... in a rocky area, no dust. I can excuse the lack of blood because it's Disney, but everything else? Mufasa just falls into a cave and gets up like nothing happened. If it was stylized or 2d it'd be different but this movie wants to be as real as possible so... why
When transformers one did a thenominal job at developing resentment between the 2 main leads Then the load of nothing in mufasa is just hilariously incompitant
I really wouldve enjoyed it if it were in the same animation style as the other lion king movies. I'm still interested in watching it (if it's on Disney+), but since it's in live action I don't really think it'll have the same feeling (especially since the lion king 1 live action remake didn't do that job either).
Idk what where they thinking about launching this the same time as Sonic 3 I mean, if some kids see two posters, one with colorful cartoony animals, and other with photorealistic boring animals, which movie do you think they would watch?
I would think teenagers would make a more interesting movie than dusty old executives making everything about it be for profit and cutting anything too new or different
No, saying Mufasa feels like it was made by teenagers for teenagers is an insult to teenagers who make movies for teenagers, just like how saying the Action 52 NES game was made up by a five year old is an insult to five year olds
Wow Disney putting out the same emotionless movie again that uproots the Story of the Original movie Walt Disney is rolling in his grave right now on what his company has become its so sad to see that Disney and Pixar was the standard to meet at one time.
Thankfully, they didn't use an AI voice of James Earl Jones like they have been doing with some songs where they have an AI use the voice of a dead band member.
I get that Disney had already hired B&B for the "Moana" tv show, but if "Mufasa" mever existed, I wonder if they eventually would've went back to Lin. Wouldn't have helped the awful 10 month schedule, but still.
Disney finally got a taste of what Don Bluth was having to deal with back in the day when he had to go up against their stuff dropping the same weekend his did. They really thought they could bring in the big bucks the same weekend Sonic Movie 3 came out. I remember leaving the theaters with my family and Mufasa's theater was right next to ours and we were cracking jokes about how we bet there ain't more than 5 people in that theater rn.
Looking to open up at 35$ million against a 200$ million dollar budget, unless it hits the Christmas legs this will be a humongous FLOP. Some people said that when they visited the theater, wicked and sonic 3 were sold out and Mufasa was mostly empty. Oof-
Disney really has no shame in releasing a sequel to one of the most ridiculed CGI movies of all time. It honestly goes to show that they are willing to drop their pants in front of the internet so long as they get $$$
And thus the circle of life continues…nine years ago, Alvin and the Chipmunks: Road Chip, a pointless installment in a franchise nobody wanted released on the same day as Star Wars The Force Awakens, a movie sequel most everyone had been anticipating… Now, Disney releases Mufasa: The Lion King, a pointless installment in a franchise nobody wanted, on the same day as Sonic 3, a movie sequel most everyone had been anticipating…
I figured it wasn’t good. Just like with Despicable Me 4, I’m not going to support this movie and rather wait till it hits Disney plus. Since this is going up against Sonic 3 I’m pretty sure it will not be as much as what the original and the remake made at the box office. I’ll make back its money for sure, but I don’t expect it to reach at least 500 to 700 million.
So the whole great kings of the past scene under the stars (arguably Mufasa's most iconic scene) is completely missing here? Mufasa has never heard of it and his father never told him? Neat
3 things I hated about this movie. 1. Timon and Pumba interruptions reminded me of the ones in Lion King 1 1/2. I get it’s a backstory being told to a lion cub, but you can literally cut these two out and give those extra scenes to scenes that would have helped the movie more (like a Zira mention or whatever, I dunno) 2. I wanted Mufasa to give Taka that scar himself and be the one to suggest his name change, like how he given it as a nickname to Scar in the dumb backstory he had in Lion Guard. Sure I didn’t like that backstory, but at least it had meaning and adds stuff to the plot that makes it relative to the season. I wanted to see Mufasa get rightfully mad at Taka cause of the loyalty he gave but to also call out Taka on his cowardness, maybe somethin like “I had to leave my mother without a choice when the food took me away, you left yours to die cause you were afraid” 3. Lore stuff, rather prefer lion guard, off to a rewatch I go. At least Timon and Pumba are more fun in that one
What i hated about that movie. Is the Disney obsession with making all the villains sympathetic or just being bad because society nonsense. Realistically people have free will and they can choose to do evil with it. Sometimes desires, pleasures and feelings makes people hurt others. That's what's realistic about Scar. He was jealous of his brother and thought he deserved the throne. Envy is a strong emotion. That's why green is Scar more predominant color used in his song. His story remains me of Cane and Able. I would liked in the movie Mufasa getting more attention and approval from their parents and seeing Scar how he felt under Mufasa shadow. Probably wanting to prove everyone wrong. Meanwhile Scar is a goody two shoes in the trailers.
I have to disagree with you. I don't think the CGI looks good at all. Maybe it is because I strongly prefer stylized animation to realistic anything. Even still the lions seem to move and react in ways that don't look at all like how a real lion should move. It just feels off. I much prefer the style of the original Lion King.
I didn’t think it was a bad movie, however there were a lot of parts that I felt was unnecessary or done a way a wasn’t impressive with and kinda changed TLK. - 3:04 The figure in the sky was pointless. At the time I understood but when Mufasa returns to his mum and goes “where’s father” I was like HUH he’s dead, you saw his figure?? It would have been better to use a version similar to what Kiara saw for Mufasa and a more detailed one for Kiara like the one Mufasa saw. - the fact Pride Rock just appears from a a quake, for me ruins the magical, historical and and generational feels I had for it and the Pride Lands. As a kid, I always felt as if Simba was like the 100 generation king or something but no.. we knew from the get go it wasn’t going to be Mufasa’s ancestors who were the royal family of the Pride Lands but they could have easily made it the home of Sarabi’s family. The movie even reveals that she is of nobility and looking for her family with Zazu also part of the royal court and so would for me, have made for sense and fun that her family was waiting for her in the Pride Lands, her father helps Mufasa but ultimately dies from his wounds, before telling Mufasa that he should be the next king of the Pride Lands, linking that generational tie to Sarabi rather than it being a random place they found. - the jump back to present day was kinda pointless and ruined the story. They could have easily added in Rafikis narration during some sort of montage of characters running or something instead of literally jumping back to the gang. Having Pumba run off to a bathroom break was just bad. I feel the movie should have been a 12/12A in that there would be more gore and action but the kiddy jokes would have been axed. - Taka getting his scar was alright, but it felt glossed over until the end where he says call me by Scar so I never forget what I done. The fact he pulled Mufasa out from drowning made sense but didn’t at the same time. How he was able to do that with hatred but that hatred get stronger and stronger instead of weaker didn’t make sense. From that scene, it showed Taka had a good side deep inside him that he still loved Mufasa (same as how he jumped in to save him from Kiros hit and also fought him) and so would have made more sense that over time he came to accept that Mufasa was king and instead be given other important rules within the pride such as leader of the army or something. Idk. - and finally (I think) it seemed they completely forgot about the great king speech. Many said before this was released that how did Mufasa’s father had the great king speech with him if they weren’t royal and so I thought maybe it would be Taka’s father and the two would become really close. But no, I was completely wrong. Takas father hates Mufasa. Feel Disney screw up big time there. - oh and the fact there was a random ass cub in the pride lands with the females made no sense either. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is an area Kiros hadn’t been before right? And so where’s the cubs father!?! Surely he’d be running over to Mufasa and asking TF is going on whether this male was king or not he’s still be asking questions. IRL, Mufasa would later go on to kill that random cub lol.
.....what?! So that made it so Mufasa isn't the first BORN?! Nope, as a huge lion king fan, why do NONE of the sequels and spinoffs ever follow the same fucking family line! BUT BUT, will give them the bow for using Scar's real name.

My immediate guess is because its a soulless live action cash grab that destroys the better lore told in The Lion Guard. I will only accept this as an origin story in the Live action Lion King and nothing more than that. Try to apply it to the animated movies and yeah, I will be mad
Yes the lion guard is the lore provider for the hand drawn animated lion king universe and this film is the lore provider for the photorealistic lion king universe
What, the better lore in the Lion Guard being... Scar bitten by a snake while meeting with another lion?
@teaz3139 a snake that caused him to go crazy and end the lives of the rest of the members of the Lion Guard. Heck if I'm not mistaken that same snake shows up as a villain. My gosh I bet you hate Rapunzel's Tangled adventures as well
@@D.p663 they should have done the lore for the live action movie better. Because this doesn't get me to want to ever watch either movie.
I just watched the 1988 Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe last night, and that Aslan puppet looked so much better than all of this
Did you watch it on Disney plus
@ryansingletary7018 no, it's free on RUclips
2 movies about 2 friends/brothers released the same year….both very interesting reactions
It’s good
Maybe this one will also flop, and we'll never have a sequel...
*glares at Hasbro*
I read the Disney's Twisted series, which is essentially the Disney version of Marvel's What If.
"What if Mulan had to travel through the Chinese Underworld," -- [Shang was struck down by Shan Yu instead of her in the mountain pass,]
"What if the Blue Fairy wasn't supposed to help Pinocchio" -- [Essentially works as a huge prequel story to the original movie]
And the few I've read have been good. Which then always makes me wonder if, instead of remaking the ORIGINAL movies--they could have made Alternate Universes? It's an alternate Universe, so why not be live action this time? It's an Alternate Universe, you can change ANYTHING without the fans coming at you with torches and pitchforks. There is so much creative potential in Alternate Universes that you can revisit the SAME story as many times as you want because one little 'what if' can change so much.
Is it a disappointment if you didn't expect anything to begin with
Huh
A recent Disney live action is terrible? Wasn't expecting that 😮
I don’t believe Mufasa is canon to the 1994 Lion King,but the live action Lion King and I believe the live action Lion kings movies are alternate universe and only believe is canon to the 1994 Lion King is Lion King 2:Simba’s Pride,Lion King 1 1/2,and Lion guard.
Also not going see the Mufasa because wasn’t Huge fan of live action Lion King and my opinion Lion King it the worst Disney live action of all time and the trailers I saw I don’t like what they doing Lion King like make Mufasa a orphan and Scar the rightful king make no sense.
Also My opinion 1994 Lion King is one of the best thing Disney ever made and Scar is my favorite Disney villain of all time.
fr lion king was such a dissapointing live action, most of them are like mulan and pinnochio and snow white. they need to stop before they make things worse for their reputation.
Mufasa just gave me like... knock-off Lion King 1/2 vibes. I see I wasn't too far off with that.
Also, I wonder if the parents who were disappointed in Moana 2 decided not to waste more money this time around.
*Paramount’s Not-Terrible Sonic 3*
Weird I thought Lion King 2 shown what happened to Scars biological son, Nuka.
that's fanon, not canon.
@rosevee34 the actual animated Disney sequel...is fanon? How it was literally said in the sequel movie when Nuka is gripping about having to look after Kovu and how Kovu is the chosen one, despite Kovu being adopted by Scar.
@@sarahtelles1931its fanon that Nuka and Vitani are Scar's children. All 3 (Nuka, Vitani and Kovu) were meant to be Scar' children but then they realised that meant Kiara would be getting with her dads cousin so made it that Kovu simply chosen by Scar instead of being his son. But they never said anything about Nuka and Vitani so fans assume its Scar
I’m not shocked.
All I have to say is: go watch Sonic 3 instead
They had a backstory already and they really scrapped it for no reason.... Such a shame.
0:52 damn Malificient always getting forgotten for doing it first
Now scar has every justification to kill mufasa out of jealousy and we can now imperfectly sympathise with him
I already see people fully defending him and blaming Mufasa after this trash released 💀
I still don't understand why he saved him in the end... Like... For what?? He saved him in the beginning to betray him to save him again to kill him huh
I hate when all movies are trying to do now is make villains understandable, like no, they're villains for a reason I'm not supposed to like the creep I'm supposed to hate him, now all I do is feel sorry for scar because the outsider made him an outsider, now it's okay for him to take revenge instead of meticulous planning tenacity spanning "although decades of denial makes sense" but like that's supposed to be his selfish narcissism not his justified right to the throne
It's already happening...I've read commented where Mufasa stole Sarabi from Taka. As soon as I realized that was the entire reason for Taka apparently turning on Mufasa, I realized...this was going to be stupid. Scar was an incel.. That's it. That's the story.
@nicholasmartin5167 I feel like they tried to reference the books where Taka got his scar from a failed plan to get revange at Mufasa for being favoured by their dad.
I just know this movie is going to get absolutely annihilated by Sonic 3. There's no doubt about it
No joke I got an ad for Mufasa the second I clicked on this video I just wanted to mention that
lmaooo the trailer playing before this video is so funny.
Transformers One did the angle of two people loving each other like brothers but are slowly torn apart by clashing ideologies where one gives into their jealousy and rage while the other channels his anger into protecting others and caring about the future of his people like a king would. We know that Megatron and Optimus Prime will end the film as enemies but the movie treats it seriously and as the tragedy it is. And this is not a slight against TF One, it’s a genuinely great film but given the grandiose of the Lion King you think Disney would have done something similar.
RIP to the poor animators that were held hostage to make this
Not a mufasa trailer playing before the video
I do love the original Lion King, however, comparing this movie to it I feel is unfair since its a completely new story and animation style. I went into this movie wanting to see cgi lions, a completely new story from this universe (since I loved Lion King 2 so much as a kid), and the villain from the trailers (who was both gorgeous and intimidating). I will say cutting out all the present scenes and just having the movie fully be in the past would've help its identity.
Side note: In the back of my mind while watching the fight scenes, I was thinking, "what if this was rated P-13 or R?"
Oh really boyo? You said "Hurr stop comparez to original, itz differrrrrrr" when Disney said it's literally a "remake" (a bad CGI version at that) with everything done to mimic and leech on original movie and TV series' lore. And no, pretending it's standalone still won't make a turd more shiny.
The sad thing is that before I saw this, I got an ad for Mufasa
I find it funny that you used Sonic music in the background in this video...
He really did! What would have really sealed the deal would have been a track from Sonic Adventure 2. Sonic Adventure 1's Theme of Tikal (the OST CD version) is the closest.
Edit: There's also a Pokémon song in there, too.
Holy sh*t I got an ad for the movie in the middle of this vid I was so confused
Kovu is not Scars son. He was born roughly around Kieara's time of birth hence why they are very close in age. And by then Scar was already gone. (Stating this cause it will get rid of the implication that keiara and kovu may be cousins tho given with the current lore of the lion king who really knows at this point.)
Ngl id rather watch the Narnia films then ether of the remakes of TLK. Idk they lions just feel too uncanny-valley for me,tbey should’ve just made some thing actually original with lions. It’s dumb there hellbent on destroying every shred of canon the original films had
I found it pretty good. I didn't like that Mufasa and Scar weren't blood brothers like in the original, but that was the only thing I didn't like, but the music, scenery, the voice acting were what I loved about the movie.
It's so hard for me to tell any of these lions apart.
I didn't have that issue with the original animated version.
Makes you realize how the animated version is superior. I don't think anyone can fill in the shoes of both Jeremy Irons and James Earl Jones.
If you want an animated brother/friend broken relationship prequel, just watch Transformers one
I mean the lion king live action was incredibly mid, so I'm not surprised the prequel is too
A live action Disney movie/remake/spin-off being a disappointment! Who could've seen this coming?!
(This is sarcasm btw, please don't get mad)
Anyone else hate how the photorealistic lion king is desperate to force a love triangle between Sarabi, Mufasa, and Scar? Reducing Sarabi to a lust object and reducing scar's motivations to incel
Ik it looks bad
The animation was... okay? But I was a bit underwhelmed by the fights. I do have a few cats and sometimes they just play with each other. That looks more intense than the fights in the movie (and with my cats nothing happens lmao in the movie lions die). No fur thats flying around (esp with all the claws), no smaller stones or pebbles that get flown around... in a rocky area, no dust. I can excuse the lack of blood because it's Disney, but everything else? Mufasa just falls into a cave and gets up like nothing happened. If it was stylized or 2d it'd be different but this movie wants to be as real as possible so... why
literally nobody is going to watch this unless sonic 3 movie
The Sonic music in the background 😂
When transformers one did a thenominal job at developing resentment between the 2 main leads
Then the load of nothing in mufasa is just hilariously incompitant
I already had the mistake of seeing The Lion King remake back in 2019, and I will not repeat the same mistake.
I really wouldve enjoyed it if it were in the same animation style as the other lion king movies. I'm still interested in watching it (if it's on Disney+), but since it's in live action I don't really think it'll have the same feeling (especially since the lion king 1 live action remake didn't do that job either).
This week in a nutshell: 🦁🔫🦔
And IGN rated this an 8/10
While they gave sonic 3 a 6/10
Why?
Because IGN hate Sonic?
@Quason1 IGN probably hates everything.
@@JaviSocas2My2ndChannel ikr
Idk what where they thinking about launching this the same time as Sonic 3
I mean, if some kids see two posters, one with colorful cartoony animals, and other with photorealistic boring animals, which movie do you think they would watch?
I wouldn't call it a disappointment. A disappointment would imply we had any expectations for it to be good whatsoever.
Called it. CAAAAALLLLLED IIIIIITTT!! 😂
Just watched the movie and it was so bad... It felt like it was made by a group of teenagers for teenagers, I expected much, much more
I would think teenagers would make a more interesting movie than dusty old executives making everything about it be for profit and cutting anything too new or different
No, saying Mufasa feels like it was made by teenagers for teenagers is an insult to teenagers who make movies for teenagers, just like how saying the Action 52 NES game was made up by a five year old is an insult to five year olds
Why have a realistic lion this Christmas when you can have a very fast blue hedgehog!!
I was in the movie theater and at the end some kids said “whoa that’s scar!”
Wow Disney putting out the same emotionless movie again that uproots the Story of the Original movie Walt Disney is rolling in his grave right now on what his company has become its so sad to see that Disney and Pixar was the standard to meet at one time.
The worst part is that James Earl Jones didn’t voice Mufarsa
Well I'm not too surprised on that, he's dead isn't he?
Thankfully, they didn't use an AI voice of James Earl Jones like they have been doing with some songs where they have an AI use the voice of a dead band member.
Jesus, the most recent writer’s walkout must be really fucking up Disney if the story is all over the place like this
Sonic 3: Long live the king...
I get that Disney had already hired B&B for the "Moana" tv show, but if "Mufasa" mever existed, I wonder if they eventually would've went back to Lin. Wouldn't have helped the awful 10 month schedule, but still.
many are just glad that James Earl Jone's name came first. At least disney remembered that & to talk not to fight.
Sonic 3 def better and I haven’t even seen either
You can’t make an opinion on movies you haven’t even watched :/
What do you mean this movie's out already?
Disney finally got a taste of what Don Bluth was having to deal with back in the day when he had to go up against their stuff dropping the same weekend his did. They really thought they could bring in the big bucks the same weekend Sonic Movie 3 came out.
I remember leaving the theaters with my family and Mufasa's theater was right next to ours and we were cracking jokes about how we bet there ain't more than 5 people in that theater rn.
Poetic.
i aint even realise this was a new movie; i saw a poster at the train station and wondered why they were re-releasing the live action lion king
I got a Mufasa ad before this 😭
Perhaps we treated the straight to video/dvd sequels (Lion king 2 simba pride, Bambi 2, and Fox and hound 2 especially) to harshly
Looking to open up at 35$ million against a 200$ million dollar budget, unless it hits the Christmas legs this will be a humongous FLOP. Some people said that when they visited the theater, wicked and sonic 3 were sold out and Mufasa was mostly empty. Oof-
Disney really has no shame in releasing a sequel to one of the most ridiculed CGI movies of all time. It honestly goes to show that they are willing to drop their pants in front of the internet so long as they get $$$
Don’t watch it people, literally just watch sonic 3
I forgot the mufasa movie was even being made
God that cgi looks absolutely atrocious. And usually I can look past bad cgi lol.
And thus the circle of life continues…nine years ago, Alvin and the Chipmunks: Road Chip, a pointless installment in a franchise nobody wanted released on the same day as Star Wars The Force Awakens, a movie sequel most everyone had been anticipating…
Now, Disney releases Mufasa: The Lion King, a pointless installment in a franchise nobody wanted, on the same day as Sonic 3, a movie sequel most everyone had been anticipating…
I knew it this movie is going to be a disaster!! But now let’s your review of sonic movie 3 the best movie ever made ^^
I figured it wasn’t good. Just like with Despicable Me 4, I’m not going to support this movie and rather wait till it hits Disney plus. Since this is going up against Sonic 3 I’m pretty sure it will not be as much as what the original and the remake made at the box office. I’ll make back its money for sure, but I don’t expect it to reach at least 500 to 700 million.
Ironically got an ad for the movie
So the whole great kings of the past scene under the stars (arguably Mufasa's most iconic scene) is completely missing here? Mufasa has never heard of it and his father never told him? Neat
why it was a failure:
lions are not the king.
no kid wants to see lions sing anymore
lions are boring...
shoebill king would be an instant success fr
Isnt it a prequel not a sequel?
3 things I hated about this movie.
1. Timon and Pumba interruptions reminded me of the ones in Lion King 1 1/2. I get it’s a backstory being told to a lion cub, but you can literally cut these two out and give those extra scenes to scenes that would have helped the movie more (like a Zira mention or whatever, I dunno)
2. I wanted Mufasa to give Taka that scar himself and be the one to suggest his name change, like how he given it as a nickname to Scar in the dumb backstory he had in Lion Guard. Sure I didn’t like that backstory, but at least it had meaning and adds stuff to the plot that makes it relative to the season. I wanted to see Mufasa get rightfully mad at Taka cause of the loyalty he gave but to also call out Taka on his cowardness, maybe somethin like “I had to leave my mother without a choice when the food took me away, you left yours to die cause you were afraid”
3. Lore stuff, rather prefer lion guard, off to a rewatch I go. At least Timon and Pumba are more fun in that one
What i hated about that movie. Is the Disney obsession with making all the villains sympathetic or just being bad because society nonsense. Realistically people have free will and they can choose to do evil with it. Sometimes desires, pleasures and feelings makes people hurt others. That's what's realistic about Scar. He was jealous of his brother and thought he deserved the throne. Envy is a strong emotion. That's why green is Scar more predominant color used in his song. His story remains me of Cane and Able. I would liked in the movie Mufasa getting more attention and approval from their parents and seeing Scar how he felt under Mufasa shadow. Probably wanting to prove everyone wrong. Meanwhile Scar is a goody two shoes in the trailers.
I have to disagree with you. I don't think the CGI looks good at all. Maybe it is because I strongly prefer stylized animation to realistic anything. Even still the lions seem to move and react in ways that don't look at all like how a real lion should move. It just feels off. I much prefer the style of the original Lion King.
I didn’t think it was a bad movie, however there were a lot of parts that I felt was unnecessary or done a way a wasn’t impressive with and kinda changed TLK.
- 3:04
The figure in the sky was pointless. At the time I understood but when Mufasa returns to his mum and goes “where’s father” I was like HUH he’s dead, you saw his figure??
It would have been better to use a version similar to what Kiara saw for Mufasa and a more detailed one for Kiara like the one Mufasa saw.
- the fact Pride Rock just appears from a a quake, for me ruins the magical, historical and and generational feels I had for it and the Pride Lands. As a kid, I always felt as if Simba was like the 100 generation king or something but no.. we knew from the get go it wasn’t going to be Mufasa’s ancestors who were the royal family of the Pride Lands but they could have easily made it the home of Sarabi’s family. The movie even reveals that she is of nobility and looking for her family with Zazu also part of the royal court and so would for me, have made for sense and fun that her family was waiting for her in the Pride Lands, her father helps Mufasa but ultimately dies from his wounds, before telling Mufasa that he should be the next king of the Pride Lands, linking that generational tie to Sarabi rather than it being a random place they found.
- the jump back to present day was kinda pointless and ruined the story. They could have easily added in Rafikis narration during some sort of montage of characters running or something instead of literally jumping back to the gang. Having Pumba run off to a bathroom break was just bad.
I feel the movie should have been a 12/12A in that there would be more gore and action but the kiddy jokes would have been axed.
- Taka getting his scar was alright, but it felt glossed over until the end where he says call me by Scar so I never forget what I done. The fact he pulled Mufasa out from drowning made sense but didn’t at the same time. How he was able to do that with hatred but that hatred get stronger and stronger instead of weaker didn’t make sense.
From that scene, it showed Taka had a good side deep inside him that he still loved Mufasa (same as how he jumped in to save him from Kiros hit and also fought him) and so would have made more sense that over time he came to accept that Mufasa was king and instead be given other important rules within the pride such as leader of the army or something. Idk.
- and finally (I think) it seemed they completely forgot about the great king speech. Many said before this was released that how did Mufasa’s father had the great king speech with him if they weren’t royal and so I thought maybe it would be Taka’s father and the two would become really close. But no, I was completely wrong. Takas father hates Mufasa.
Feel Disney screw up big time there.
- oh and the fact there was a random ass cub in the pride lands with the females made no sense either. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is an area Kiros hadn’t been before right? And so where’s the cubs father!?! Surely he’d be running over to Mufasa and asking TF is going on whether this male was king or not he’s still be asking questions.
IRL, Mufasa would later go on to kill that random cub lol.
Disney is in its “Mediocre but profitable” era I see.
.....what?! So that made it so Mufasa isn't the first BORN?! Nope, as a huge lion king fan, why do NONE of the sequels and spinoffs ever follow the same fucking family line!
BUT BUT, will give them the bow for using Scar's real name.
RUclips gave me a mufasa ad when I clicked 🤨
