Mufasa: The Lion King plunges us once again into the world of The Lion King, which has lulled the childhoods of millions. Following Jon Favreau 's 2019 animated film The Lion King , Barry Jenkins returns with the story of Simba 's father Mufasa in a new live-action 3D animated film scheduled for release on December 18, 2024.
We are reunited with our beloved characters, who take us back in time to tell us the story of Mufasa. The famous pair Timon/Pumba and the wise Rafiki, Simba's sidekicks and key characters in The Lion King, revisit Mufasa's life, which they explain to Simba's daughter Kiara, whose story we follow in The Lion King 2 cartoon.
As you may have guessed, this won't be a 3D-animated remake of Lion King 2, but a completely new film. Mufasa: The Lion King will tell us more about the great rivalry between Mufasa and Scar and his reign over the land of the lions. At last, some answers to questions we've been pondering for years.
Created in 1994, the animated film The Lion King, directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff, is already 30 years old. A huge critical and financial success, The Lion King remained Disney's biggest hit for several years, dethroned by the arrival of The World of Nemo in 2003.
As we await the release of Mufasa: The Lion King on December 18, 2024, there's nothing to stop you taking a step back in time by watching the 3 cartoon opuses, which are sure to bring back memories!
