Tiny Review: Mufasa: The Lion King 2024. Mufasa the no good dirty rat.

This isn’t a Mufasa the hero story. It’s a Mufasa the no good rat who did his bro dirty story...

From Taka’s POV, he saved this ungrateful orphan’s life, went against his own king father and made him a bro, let Mufasa win in a competition where Taka was the superior one, let his queen mother be a better mother to Mufasa than she was to him. And even when Mufasa took his love, Taka still took one for Mufasa and saved his life again. 

And his reward was to be branded and bandished as an outcast.... 😭

Mufasa: The Lion King (2024)

I'd go so far as to say I hate the 2019 remake of The Lion King. It does nothing better than the original despite its longer running time, the new songs are instantly forgettable, the covers of the original songs leave no impression and the visuals are dull. I did not look forward to Mufasa, which makes my rating significant. This is an improvement over its predecessor in every way.

Sometime after the events of The Lion King, Rafiki (voiced by John Kani) finds Simba and Nala’s daughter, Kiara (voiced by Blue Ivy Carter), frightened by a thunderstorm. To comfort her, Rafiki tells Kiara the story of her grandfather, Mufasa (voiced by Aaron Pierre). How he was adopted by lioness Eshe (voiced by Thandiwe Newton) and became a brother to Taka (voiced by Kelvin Harrison Jr.), how the brothers were driven from their home by Kiros (voiced by Mads Mikkelsen) & his pride of vicious white lions and how he eventually made his home in the Pride Lands.

I understand this is a big-budget, “your artistic choices on this project are limited, sir” kind of film, so I’m glad to see that Barry Jenkins listened to, and addressed, the criticisms directed toward the first movie. A small but noticeable change is in the character designs. The lions still look like real-life lions but somehow, they’re made much more expressive than in 2019. From their faces alone, you can see and feel when characters are happy, sad, distressed, etc. It's no longer nostalgia getting you invested in these characters’ stories. Tied to this choice are the character designs. You’ll have no difficulty differentiating one lion from another even though none of them look overly stylized. A final strength is the story itself because it’s original (aside from choosing to name Simba and Nala’s daughter Kiara, I didn’t notice any cues taken from previously released storylines).

Prequels do not have to constantly pander to fans if their stories and characters are interesting enough, which is why it's disappointing to see Mufasa follow the same route as Solo: A Star Wars Story. We're told the origin of EVERYTHING. How did Mufasa meet Sarabi? How did he meet Zazu? What about Rafiki? How did the wise mandrill get his stick? Why is Scar called Scar? Some of those questions you don’t mind getting answered but others could have been left to the imagination - Mufasa clocks in at 118 minutes. As clumsy as some of those revelations may be, however, nothing makes you groan as much as Timon (Billy Eichner) and Pumba (Seth Rogen). Every time they appear on-screen to interrupt Rafiki with questions about some aspect of the story, a comment about this character, or a joke, you'll think “These characters are annoying” and “I wish they would go away so we could get back to Mufasa’s story”. They suck.

I’ve got mixed feelings about the screenplay by Jeff Nathanson. When it’s bad, it’s exactly what I expected it to be but when it’s not telling us the origin of every character and detail or cutting away from the main plot, it manages to keep you guessing – even though you already “know” how everything will end. Mads Mikkelsen’s Kiros won't join the ranks of the great Disney villains but the actor effortlessly brings menace to the role. I went in unenthusiastic but Mufasa drew me into its drama. Despite the film’s title, the big question everyone is asking going in is “How did Scar get his name and why does he hate his brother?” That aspect of the story is the one audiences will call the most satisfying.

In terms of music, there are no bad songs in Mufasa but you won’t find any of them memorable either. It’s probably because your internal library is already full with other tunes from classical Disney films. Probably. Ultimately, I have more positive feelings towards Mufasa: The Lion King than I don't, but the picture's shortcomings are significant and as a prequel to an unnecessary remake, this is not one I foresee people going back to over and over. It's way better than you expected, however, and that makes Mufasa: The Lion King worth seeing - the one time. (Theatrical version on the big screen, December 28, 2024)

Mufasa: The Lion King (PG): Beautiful But Disjointed Disney Prequel.

One Mann's Movies Film Review of "Mufasa". The Lion King sequel/prequel that looks fab but is a bit of a disjointed mess. 3/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Mufasa: The Lion King” (2024). Regular readers will know my general distaste of Disney Live-Action remakes. Pointless, vapid affairs that often detract from the animated masterpieces they are trying to mimic. “Mufasa: The Lion King” is obviously based on (and is both a sequel and a prequel to) the 1994 classic and its 2019 live-action remake. However, at least it…
