- Experience the epic story of how an orphan became a King. #Mufasa: The Lion King, only in theaters December 20.

Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka-the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny-their bonds will be tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe.

- Aaron Pierre as Mufasa
- Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Taka, a lion prince with a bright future who accepts Mufasa into his family as a brother
- Tiffany Boone as Sarabi
- Kagiso Lediga as Young Rafiki
- Preston Nyman as Zazu
- Mads Mikkelsen as Kiros, a formidable lion with big plans for his pride

- Keith David as Mufasa’s father, Masego
- John Kani as Rafiki
- Seth Rogen as Pumbaa
- Billy Eichner as Timon
- Donald Glover as Simba
- Introducing Blue Ivy Carter as Kiara, daughter of King Simba and Queen Nala
- And Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala

#Mufasa
How freaking old is Rafiki? I swear that monkeys been alive for like that whole families bloodline.
Rafiki: I didn’t want to retire at 65 anyways.
Rafiki is a mandrill. The lifespan of mandrills is about 20-40 years.
To be fair Lions grow up pretty fast, they're already mature in like 5 years. Mandrills can live up to be 40 so
Well to be fair lions live for 15-20 years. Whereas, mandrills live for almost 40.

If I have to guess it's their way of trying to cover up trying to literally make scar in a relationship with zira. Because they literally were planning to make her his mate to which Michael Eisner found out and was like that's incest if you have both Kiara and kovu as cousins falling in Love.

@@Netherriteswordhaaa. I love what they are going for with this story - because neither of them will be at fault. Taka seems to be a young compassionate prince who loves Mufasa dearly, but is also targeted by the white lions who are going after all the other prides in Savanna to be the only leading clan. Taka and Mufasa are on the run, which means that Taka's family is most likely slaughtered, and when they meet Sarabi and both fall in love with her (something Scar states in Lion King 2019), she chooses Mufasa, so again, Taka lost his home and then his love to his brother. Then on top of that the white lion king probably wants to duel Taka for his title, but Mufasa steps in for him because he wants to protect him from harm, but because he probably wins the duel and kills the white king, he gets the title of the lion king over Taka. Either that or Mufasa claims the title over his own pride which he came from.
So, Taka lost his home, and then his love and title to his brother. All that while his brother still loved him unconditionally and was just trying to protect him. That is tragic. And makes sense why he would be bitter about it and turn into Scar we know.

@@Beautifullytragic6 Exactly.
@@pdxcorgidad
The CGI seems better in this one than the first one, the lions move *mostly* in a heavier way and in a way that is like the real life animal (see the headbump. The growling and some of the running shots aren’t that good though) but the animals also have much more noteable expressions and are a little bit more stylized to make it work. The cameras are kinda jank and ruin some of the reality feeling by the fact that live action has more limited camera placements.
It feels pretty much like nonsense as an actual prequel, I’m willing to bet this was partially someone or multiple people seeing the chance to animate their Lion King OC's and put it on the big screen when the executives were like 'okay we need to milk this franchise further and uh I guess something new?'. The leucistic lions sell me a bit more on that idea.
You can. Kinda tell Mufasa and Scar apart? Scar being paler and Mufasa being golden
One of those cases where it seems intresting enough as a standalone in the universe or an alternative way to interpret their story, but is hindered by what would feel like an actually good prequel.

THIS MOVIE HAS LITERALLY NOTHING LIKE SONIC APART FROM REALISING ON THE SAME DAY, MAYBE TRY ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING RELEVANT.
I just can't get past how bad they've messed up the backstory. Scar and Mufasa not only being not related by blood, but to make Mufasa an outsider who became king completely breaks the lore of the long line of kings he's supposed to have come from. Even if they do the whole "actually he's the lost prince who really was supposed to be king all along" thing, that still changes a lot. Mufasa has always exhuded an air of royalty from birth, raised to be king by his father and mother, while his younger brother was always jealous, and grew up resentful of his brother. Plus, they seem to be doing the "Pride Rock discovery" route, so it's not this longstanding home of these lion kings for generations, but one that Mufasa just discovered and made his home. The whole thing just screams modern "original" storytelling and rewriting for the sake of the writer putting their own spin on things. Mufasa came from nowhere to show that anyone could rise up to become king, because we want him to be a good guy, but if he was born to be king and always raised like that, well then he's one of the privileged rich people, who are bad we dont like them. Ugh.
There is grass outside begging to be touched
Well said. It also ruins the ending of not just the original animated film but ironically the original reboot, because Simba being the rightful heir that returned to take back his homeland from his uncle Scar is just undermined when you make Mufasa an outsider who became king, thus making Simba not biologically related to Scar at all and thus not even the true king, but the son of an outsider. Unless there's a twist that makes Mufasa the long-lost prince/firstborn, but even then by looking at this trailer now, I can't see how that would be possible. It really does feel like they're going in the "anyone can be Supers" direction. It baffles me how everyone is gushing about the facial expressions on the CGI lions and ignoring the fact that already this retcon just messes up the lore of the great kings of the past, their generational ties to Pride Rock, Mufasa's relationship with Scar, Mufasa's bloodline and Simba's status as the rightful heir to the throne, and Simba's return to the Pridelands after avoiding his responsibilities for so long.

That's what i'm SAYING, they definitely were aware of the criticism; the first movie was trash and non-memorable because the animals never emoted (not even like real animals do).
It does look better, but it is a relatively new form of animation, so I am sure it will improve even more. 😎
Its not failed, its design to be that way and they learn that market doesnt like it
Agreed
You can just view it as a sequel to the original film, let's not think about the 2019 one 😅
Apparently we have to forget this line ever happened: "As far as brains go I got the lions share, but when it comes to brute strength, I'm afraid I'm on the shallow end of the gene pool." Scar and Mufasa are actual blood brothers
Hmm ... it doesn't invalidate the line, technically speaking, but the original read is definitely a strong implication.
For example, we could perhaps read "gene pool" in reference to lions _as a species_ -- in which case Scar's basically claiming he's in the top percentage of all lions for intelligence but not brute strength.
In the 2019 version, Scar left out the gene pool part. So that's probably why they were able to get away with this sequel/prequel.
Idk I've referenced the gene pool when talking about friends that don't have diabetes, like I do. I don't think it 100% means they HAD to be brothers by blood. But you are right that, at the time, we all assumed that's what he meant.
Something that the producer from the original Lion King Don Hahn stated back in 2017 so there goes that...
"Occasionally there are prides that do have two male lions, in an interesting dynamic because they're not equals [since they don't have the same parents]," Hahn continued. "One lion will always kind of be off in the shadows. We were trying to use those animal truths to underpin the story so we sort of figured Scar and Mufasa couldn't really be from the same gene pool."
So when Mufasa refers to Scar as his brother, it's only because they're part of the same pride.
According to Hahn, Scar even hints at this in the movie with the line, "I'm from the shallow end of the gene pool."
@@cjwoliver1647Then you’re using the term incorrectly. No normal human has ever looked at their friends and considered them in a “gene pool.” Thats just weird and wrong.

You know, I feel like this really diminishes the betrayal of Scar to make a movie and be like "oh yeah, they weren't blood brothers"
On one hand I agree on the other it could make it more intense as taka chose and fought to make mufasa his brother despite his parents wishes not to so for mufasa to basically betray taka and take the crown despite it being destined for taka them growing resentful of the brother he chose who wouldn’t be here without him to the point he kills his could be good but also is Disney so who knows
@@Layla14978Exactly, their relationship is now even more interesting and tragic because they have a bond not through blood, but through love. Taka loved Mufasa and was excited to have a friend/brother and adopted him when Mufasa had no home.
So in the end, Scar killed the person he loved the most. The person he grew up with and would die for.
Which makes waiting for his turn more insane as we have no idea how will Mufasa surpass him to get the title and how will Taka grow his resentment for him.
@@Layla14978 @Altherot either way, it's a big retcon considering that Disney made literal books back in the day about Taka and Mufasa's childhood, confirming that they were actually biological brothers.
Edit: Also, in the original film, they make references to being biological brothers. "I was next in line, until the little hairball was born", "Well, as far as brains go, I got the lion's share. But, when it comes to brute strength...I'm afraid I'm at the shallow end of the gene pool."
@@samanthaecotothermia7896 When Scar says "I was next in line, until the little hairball was born" he was referring to Simba, not Mufasa. And when he's talking about having the brains vs brute strength, there's nothing there that unequivocally says he and Mufasa are related by blood. He's just saying he's not as strong as Mufasa. So in terms of movie canon, Disney is not reconning anything. Books are a whole different thing. Disney Publishing puts out books based on Disney IP all the time, but it doesn't mean that all of that new material being published is officially canon for the movies.
@@Layla14978 The thing is though, there are multiple prides and multiple kings/queens. The story seems to be about Mufasa finding his lost pride and becoming king, like he was supposed to be before he "got lost" and Taka is being written as from an entirely different pride altogether. Some could argue the white lions are his pride and he ends up not going back because of that, but Mufasa being the only golden lion from that whole pride wouldn't make sense at all. The betrayal was all because Mufasa "Took Scar's rightful place" but that's not even the case here because they both had rightful places as kings in this version. And if not, then scar could definitely have left for another pride to become king of. So if they weren't blood brothers and instead just childhood friends, the weight of Scar's betrayal in the first movie is weakened significantly because he had more options than we all originally believed. Scar didn't have as much reason to grow bitter of his friend becoming king of a pride that Scar wasn't even from.

The irony.
In the first scene Scar saves mufasa.
In the last one he kills him.
2:00 notice how mufasa said “im here to protect you my brother” so he knew scar was gonna be the king and was gonna protect him with his life, this story line will be very interesting
So maybe he wins the title in a duel with the white king while his intention was to protect Taka as he's physically weaker than Mufasa? Could make sense and make it actually selfless.
@@NGlitchesFTW Sure will.
@@Altherot That would make sense. Perhaps Mufasa giving Taka the scar was unintentional just like how Obi Wan Kenobi accidentally injured Anakin. Just imagine a scene like the that heartbreaking scene in Star Wars Revenge Of The Sith where Anakin tells Obi Wan he hates him.
@@Koopalingfanhey, a snake gave taka the scar and made him evil.
Just like a snake gave kyon a scar In the lion guard and he started turning evil .
@@anime_him2 I see. It was implied in the live action remake that Mufasa gave him the scar.
So yall saying Scar was the rightful king and NOT Mufasa?? CMON NOW
😂
Male lions usually go to a different pack to rule (prevent inbreeding)
So one can say that Mufasa was meant to be King, but Simba is not.
Just remember the clues from the first film
(and the additions from the cartoons version):
Scene 1
Mufasa: Is that a challenge?
Scar/Taka: I wouldn't dream of challenging you...again!
Scene 2
Scar/Taka: We can finally take what we want.
Sarabai: We?
Scar/Taka: Long ago you chose Mufasa over me...but now there's a new king!
Scene 3:
More chill lines, implying that Taka is giving us two clues about a more hidden and detailed backstory that all three of them in the scene is aware of:
- Was that today, the presentation? (Must have slipped my mind...)
(BUT) as you know .. I have .. Tremendous! .. Respect!! .. For the Queen!!! (Clue 1)
- As the king's brother, you should have been first in line
I WAS first in line! ... or don't you remember? (Clue 2)
(Interpretation = Or: Do you NOT remember what was Promised / what WE ALL agreed on?)
Maybe they both got thrown aside 1:23 .. ran through the desert .. found Pride rock together .. and after then Kiros (white lion) where defeated, Taka challenged him for the throne (Scene 1) ... but where did the Sarabi sequence (Scene 2 and the rest of the hunting party) come from .. .. well; December 20, here we all come!
Also I mean you could see Scar becoming evil and resentful towards Mufeas more now as Scar is the first born or biological son of the King and an adopted son in his eyes comes in and "steals" his promised kingdom.
So this Scar from his POV Mufeas is the villain
Scar went from "i've always wanted a brother / but i saved him" to "long live the king"
In his group, it clearly looks like they left the group, so technically wouldn’t be next to be king, which makes since as to why Mufasa is cause he started a new group
Good luck competing against sonic 3 you're gonna need it
The fact that This movie can have a 50% drop off of what lion king made in 2019 and still beat sonic

Zazu never signs up for anything 😂😂😂
Sounds like AI
The concept of this story is giving RAMESES AND MOSES. You would think Taka deserved to be a king because he is the real son, but sometimes great leadership doesn’t come naturally because you’re born Royal. Taka was meant to be a King but Mufasa deserved to be a King. Taka grew with envy and entitlement and didnt handle rejection and defeat professionally. This movie isnt made to make Mufasa as the bad guy instead we just need to understand The story why Scar had hatred towards Mufasa.
Good to see people that doesn't try to simpatize and justify the villain.
@@tomascastilloleyton6848 yeah, Mufasa is actually a wholesome character which they try to tamper with in this new adaptation by making him a stray . In the original series, Mufasa actually was born in royalty and was blood brother of Scar. If you look at their mother in the original adaptation, their mother has the rounder facial features and smile just like Mufasa and the dark circles and darker skin like Scar .
This is a very smart way to put it.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Why did he deserve it? Scar obviously became a villian after he was robbed of his birth right. You can see that scar loved and cherished Mufasa...its crazy because not only did Mufasa take his place as king he also banished scar from his home. If you ask me Mufasa is just as much a villian as scar was
@@Funnyclipsifindontheinternet
Mufasa never banished Scar

This is absolutely not the original story but it does look well put together. Trash change of events to make Scar less of a monster
@@obin.1525um maybe you should wait before the full movie comes out you are judging it based of a trailer
Tbf the 2019 remake was definitely one of the much better Disney live action remakes, and I like the idea of the movie being a story told to Simba, Pumbaa and Timone, doesn’t drop us in out of nowhere which is nice. Also makes you wonder if this flashback is set during the Lion King but happened offscreen. But more likely that that cub is one of Simba and Nala’s children.

Whatever anyone else says about this movie, look on the bright side. This is CLEARLY not a carbon copy of a story that was already told perfectly the first time, and it has that over the first movie.
But is a prequel that no one ask for
Yet there was already lore for pre-lion king where they were indeed brothers and scar / taka suffered from 2nd son syndrome. Mufasa was born a true aire and is from a long line of kings who lived in pride rock. So this move threw all that out
nobody asked for an unfaithful prequel, classic hollywood being hollywood

He's a cub. You expect him to be an old soul as a kid?
Same feels here. I WILL watch this movie, seems cool enough and I love TLK especially Mufasa. But it feels like alter version rather than actual prequel to actual original. It's probably not even canonical to 1994 movie living the og brothers related and these from new version not
The plot seems kinda accurate for a male lion's life compared to TLK except for the adopted orphan thing which is bothering me. It throws away the ecological realism made for this story.

"There will be one Lion King."
OH MY GOD, HE SAID THE THING!!
Imagine if by the end of the film, we hear "I am Mufasa, the Lion King"
"Well Master Wayne, I suppose this truly is how Batman Begins"
The storyline to retcon this so that Mufasa isn't antagonised might be:
1.Mufasa is lost
2.Scar/Taka finds him and gets him accepted into taka's pride
3. Taka's pride somehow stumbles upon Mufasa's original pride
4. Mufasa is able to recognize his original pride, but they're an extremely aggressive and territorial pride
5. Mufasa's pride kills Taka's pride. Mufasa protects Taka, and they fight to overthrow the current king of his pride.
6. Mufasa becomes the new king of his original pride, Taka is welcomed in as his brother.
7. Taka, who has now lost his pride and throne eventually grows resentful. But Mufasa can't help that because this is his own pride and he should rightfully be it's King even so as to avoid anarchy.
🥱
no mufasas pride was the one that was attacked by white lions
Thanks for saving us the time. Next!
I think scar's view point at that time was like "i saved his life and/but i would also end it" thing.
He probably grew resentful of mufasa bc his pride was annihilated by mufasa's original pride. I searched up in googs, that they grew distant and hostile each other after mufasa became leader or somthing.
Thanks for helping make it make sense because I was legit lost 😅

It would be more welcoming if it wasnt done so lazily... still looks uncanny and dated
It is still not enough. Jungle Book from Andy Serkis did this so much better.
They only did it because it was the biggest complaint of the first one.

If only the execution worked. You can tell what they're feeling, but everyone looks a bit off.
