Movie Review: Mufasa

  • Classy to remember James Earl Jones.
  • A new opening song.
  • Similar opening sequence.
  • Does CGI make it better?
  • It’s not terrible.
  • It is freakishly life like
  • They kep Pride Rock the same
  • Starting off with Simba as an adult.  Kind of confusing.
  • At least they didn’t force Matthew Broderick to play him again
  • Classic instrumental songs
  • Kiera, Timon and Pumbaa are around too.
  • No Mufasa yet.
  • This is like Lion King II
  • Kiera is a kid again.
  • This is softer than the 90s versions
  • Recapping Scar’s death from Lion King I
  • Simba is a pathological liar
  • The cast is all different…
  • Rafiki is going to tell the story of Mufasa
  • Mufasa the unlikely king comes out of the desert
  • Mufasa as a kid is interesting.
  • New songs
  • Milele is like the Kingdom of God?
  • Mufasa’s father was just a regular lion.
  • They can all sing.
  • They finally got rain
  • Is Mufasa’s father going to die trying to save him?
  • Wait, Did Mufasa’s mom and dad both die or did he just suddenly get seperated?
  • He’s lost and alone just like Simba in Lion King I.
  • Rafiki says that Mufasa was carried away from his mother and father by the river, but not that they had died.
  • Now Mufasa is in a fertile land instead of a desert.
  • Taka does the whole Scar thing, but then he saves him instead.   Similar to climbing up the gorge, but a much better outcome.
  • Mufasa gets adopted into another lion family.  This would never happen in real life.
  • The nap of kings.
  • Mufasa is an outsider to the pride land.
  • The only true bond is blood.  Apparrently so.
  • Mufasa means King.  Now the real King of the pride land feels threatened.
  • Since the king wants to kill him.
  • Taka is the future king. His father is rigging the race.  Knocks him over.
  • Taka must earn the race win to be king.
  • Mufasa is going to win though.
  • How do you wine underwater?
  • Taka and Mufasa can be brothers now.
  • Obasi the king is mad.
  • Mufasa won.
  • Mufasa and Taka are going to get in trouble.  Just like Simba and Nala.
  • Taka has a huge ego.  Like Simba in Lion King I
  • They’re growing up in a timelapse.
  • The old lions don’t like Mufasa.  Obasi is still mad.
  • Taka gets to be with the males because he is going to be King.
  • Mufasa stays with the females, which seems like a better deal.
  • Obasi protects the pride as he naps because that’s power.
  • Mufasa and the ladies hunt.
  • Mufasa is smart about what animals he is hunting without even seeing them.
  • Eshe wants Mufasa to find his mom and dad.
  • Mufasa is not expecting to be king.
  • Timon and Pumbaa are reall really old.  They did not kill Scar.  I was there for it.
  • I predict something terrible happens to Taka, causing Mufasa to have to be future king and Obasi won’t like that.
  • Lion ambush
  • Interesting how all the evil lions attacking them are all white.
  • Does it really make up for the Nazi hyenas in the first one?
  • If Obasi wasn’t napping, he would have known what was going on.
  • Taka wants to hunt so bad.
  • Mufasa saved Taka.  Obasi will get along better with him hopefully.
  • There is an evil Lion King of the white lions who is mad at one of his other lions because he left his son to die.
  • Taka ran from them.
  • The white lions want him back.
  • Taka hand Mufasa have to leave.  Obasi and Eshe and the pride can’t take on the white lions, so they have to protect the bloodline by sending them away.

  • So does Sarabi.
  • Rafiki wants to find his brother.
  • They don’t realize they’ve found family together yet.
  • White lions still tracking.
  • They know everything.
  • Taka wants Sarabi.
  • Mufasa gets Sarabi in the end though.
  • It’ll be interesting to see how this comes about.
  • They’re walking through the same gorge Mufasa eventually dies in.  Creepy.
  • Terrible pickup lines.
  • White lions messing up migration patterns.
  • Get the elephants to fight with Mufasa and co.?
  • They seem reluctant.
  • Bees cause elephant stampede which helps their situation.
  • Mufasa saves Sarabi from death.  Makes her like him.
  • Even though Taka likes her.
  • Makes sense.
  • Taka probably becomes Scar because of this.
  • Scar loved Sarabi too and was Mufasa’s brother.
  • In Lion King I Scar killed Mufasa to be with Sarabi.  Even if Sarabi was reluctant.
  • This makes sense.  For now it’s just my theory.
  • Brothers fight eventually after all
