If I had a nickel for every 2024 movie telling the origin of 2 iconic characters that started out as friends/brothers and became enemies I would have 2 nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice.

It's interesting that they seemed to have kept Kiara's apricot(?) colored pelt (kind of hard to tell with the lighting) from the animated movie but changed the color of her eyes from brown/red like her father's to teal/green like her mother's.

You all wanted expressions and the finger on the monkey's paw went down.

Luca Marinelli (and costars Elodie and Alberto Boubakar Malanchino) for MUFASA: IL RE LEONE / MUFASA: THE LION KING.

-Just like only men can portray Edna Turnblad in HAIRSPRAY, there should be a new rule now that from here on in only men with lovely eyes can voice Mufasa.

Aaron Pierre, the English language Mufasa.

hi friends, making an important post today

with the Mufasa movie's official trailer released yesterday, i feel it is important to remind my fellow fans: Do Not Give Disney Your Money.

// pt: Do not give disney your money. //

Disney has donated $2 MILLION to Israeli organisations.

// pt: Disney had donated $2 million to Israeli organisations. (Embedded link: https://www.tumblr.com/beardeddetectivepaper/741952465658953728?source=share) //

they are not a company we should support. they have chosen to use the power of money given to them from producing prominently kids' films to fund the genocide of palestinians.

even if they have made our favourite films or shows, disney do not deserve our support of their company. it is time to separate the art from the artist. we should not and will not support disney's actions against palestine.

this is why i urge you to:

1) Do not pay to see the Mufasa movie, in cinemas or on Disney's streaming service. Alternatively, pirate the film. (Don't worry, pirating websites are very quick and the movie is likely to be uploaded within a day or two of releasing in cinemas.)

// pt: 1) Do not pay to see the Mufasa movie //

2) Do not buy merch, if any is released. If you want the merch, it will be resold second hand etc. Edit: Not sure how I forgot this, but of course buying secondhand still means that Disney has earned money from the merch bought firsthand. My recommendation is to buy TLK or Disney merch from small businesses, such as those making pins, keychains and the like.

// pt: 2) Do not buy merch //

3) Outside of regarding the Mufasa movie, do not support Disney in any way.

// pt: 3) Outside of regarding the Mufasa movie, do not support Disney in any way. //

i understand that this can be difficult - hell, even i've accidentally bought something Disney and couldn't return it before the refund date was up because of my disabilities. we can make mistakes. the important thing is to stay vigilant and remember who we are doing this for: the people who can't, the people who are suffering. Disney is funding their ongoing suffering and we will not give them our support.

if you want to give money to a good cause, i recommend looking under the “vetted fundraisers” tag for displaced Palestinians and others who need our help.

thank you for reading and please reblog/share this for reach if possible /gen, nf, info, advice

I saw the "Mufasa the Lion King" trailer and I have no desire to see it. If it was animated, sure, I'd eat that up so fast. But no, it's in that shitty live action style. And making Mufasa an orphan with no royal blood is a wack ass decision. It becomes more that Mufasa stole the crown from Scar just by however this journey ends... and I don't like that. It makes me like Mufasa a little less, honestly.

Now, if they showed Mufasa struggling to act like a king and follow in his father's steps with Taka helping him along the way. Just both of them trying to learn together what it is to rule a kingdom, the ups and downs, but also that brotherly bond.

My last "disney" movie that I saw was GOTG3. So, I just stopped watching any disney movies as they seemed to be getting worse. GOTG3 is really good, but I haven't recovered from it.

Taka!

I know I'm like the only person hyped for Mufasa: The Lion King but I'm not ashamed of it.

Oh, so that's why Kiara's expression looked familiar 💀

I don't know where to laugh or cry with the defenders of the Mufasa spin off, they can like it if they want but dont grasp at straws and say the reason Mufasa and Scar are no longer blood related is so Kiara and Kovu won't be cousins. They were never cousins! Simba's Pride even made it clear they weren't related! Kovu's design was meant to be to show despite his appearance and up bringing, he was his own person and didn't have to be trapped in Scar's shadow!

As always, Screen Rant being a brown stain on journalism.

I thought we'd get no Luca Marinelli after the festival showings of his upcoming series M – IL FIGLIO DEL SECOLO / M. SON OF THE CENTURY, but thankfully mans has things to do; like attending the Italian premiere of MUFASA: IL RE LEONE / MUFASA: THE LION KING (directed by Barry Jenkins).

At least when Marwan Kenzari go baggy, it's a more fitted baggy. Never go full baggy Luca!

MORE LUCA AT THE MUFASA PREMIERE.
