Is Disney's Lion King Prequel A Rewriting Of History?
It seems like everything you thought you knew about Mufasa from The Lion King, could change after seeing Mufasa: The Lion King, the upcoming prequel to the Disney movie! Get ready because Disney Animation is turning this classic on its head.
Will Mufasa Still Be a Good Guy?
- We are talking about a movie that will reveal the story of Mufasa, his time as King, how it all started, but you are about to see him differently, for sure. Disney wants us to learn the secret behind the relationship between Mufasa and his brother, Scar.
- It's gonna be like a major Disney Lion King reveal, because there is no guarantee Mufasa will still be the kindhearted King we loved. Even if it was just Mufasa Movie, they're making it so intriguing - so exciting to watch it unfold, especially those big scenes from the original Lion King movie!
Why Should We Care?
In the original movie, it was always assumed that Mufasa and Scar were brothers - because they always acted like they were related in those awesome The Lion King Live Action scenes and Disney Lion King Movies, that are now iconic! But it's about to change!
So What's Different About This "Mufasa Movie"?
- Hold up! They are going to change a key part of the story! Mufasa wasn't part of the royal family! It turns out he was an orphan, adopted by Scar's family. Talk about an awesome twist!
- This will make us question a lot about the Lion King's lore because now Scar, it seems, is the one who had the actual right to the throne. It sounds crazy, but they are totally changing this whole "Mufasa and Scar movie" to make the conflict even more intense and wild!
- It's time to rethink our entire understanding of The Lion King! Because the struggle for the Pride Lands will have an extra twist: Scar actually deserved the title! Now we have to understand just how Mufasa took over.
Is Mufasa Going to Be a Bad Guy Now?
There’s no telling! They have totally opened up the whole story to explore what it would look like if Mufasa, our beloved King, became a villain - like a "Mufasa Villain" story. Maybe this time around we are going to have some more complicated Mufasa Scar Relationship vibes, possibly one where they were friends and were then split apart because Mufasa did something to mess up Scar's role in life. But here's the good thing: Scar might even have a redemption arc in this prequel! That might be wild, since in the first Lion King movie, he was truly evil. The whole thing seems super interesting and has so much potential, that means we will have so many new, exciting questions to consider in this Disney Mufasa adventure!
