I’m happy I had fun watching Mufasa – The Lion King. Putting aside the fact that I soon found Pumba and Timone quite annoying, compared to The Lion King 2019, this time, my experience didn’t abruptly end because of the thought, ‘This looks and feels strange. Best to watch a nature documentary instead.’ 

I had no such feelings or thoughts while I watched Mufasa – The Lion King; Aaron, Pierre, Donald Glover, Seth Rogen and Mads Mikkelsen’s Barry Jenkins-directed animated adventure.  Instead, I enjoyed the music, especially after the halfway point. 

Mikkelson was a memorable villain – no surprises there. Furthermore, all the character development felt un-rushed, the story engaging, and the emotional journeys and fight sequences satisfying. As such, today, to my rather pleasant surprise, I sing the praises of Mufasa – The Lion King. I sing them, I say! 

Watch it, if you haven’t already.

Happy Film Loving,
