I guess we needed a prequel about Mufasa from Lion King [1]

['Devin Nealy']

Date: 2022-09-12

Despite being one of the most beloved characters in the history of Disney movies, I doubt there was a single fan of the original Lion King that thought, "you know, I wonder how Mufasa became lion king." However, in the current era of Disney, it doesn't matter if anyone asks for a sequel, prequel, or remake. Disney is going to make sure you consume as much content as they can generate for a single IP.

After the mixed reception of their live-action remake of The Lion King, one would think Disney would show some restraint, lest they further tarnish the memory of one of their most lucrative films. Unfortunately, modern Disney scoffs at the idea of letting a classic property go unmolested. In other words, prepare for a Lion King prequel about Mufasa's journey to the top of Pride rock. At this rate, Disney will green-light an Aladdin prequel about how he became an impoverished orphan.
