The film enlists Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick. Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka—the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny—their bonds will be tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe.

Good for the dude but keep

I respect Barry Jenkins but this is a hard pass for me.

Lion King was mid but this is Barry Jenkins we're talking about

Ok enough already

lol

why barry

The "live action" cgi looks so f***ing terrible

Why Barry wasting his time with this?

edit: i know

Absolutely love barry. This is no doubt going to be boring but happy af for him.

Cmon

"One for you and one for me"

Wait, issa prequel focused on Mufasa

The bag

Only watching for Barry but keep otherwise

i was tryna quickly edit my post before someone replied with this

About 2 gay lions I’ve been hearing

Edit: sorry, I have been informed the proper term is bear

I hope we still get another one of his own movies soon after this though.

Ritchie somehow had the gentleman in the bag right after aladdin so i hope it’s a situation like that

disney tryna ruin another great director

what a surprise

It really feels like he hasn’t done much, granted I just didn’t like beale Street

Random choice lol

more sequels

The Lion King remake of last year was like the greatest example of a film being both unnecessary and super average
