Celebrate the Circle of Life with Mufasa: The Lion King available on digital retailers (Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home) now. I’m so glad I was able to see this one. I already loved watching the live version of The Lion King, so it was nice to be able to get to know the story of Mufasa as well. Of course, the movie was amazing! I just can’t ever get over how great these graphics are in the movie. It sure was a good one. If you have already seen The Lion King, you won’t want to miss out on seeing the story of Mufasa either. What a beautiful story and movie this was. 

Film Synopsis

Exploring the unlikely rise of the beloved king of the Pride Lands, “Mufasa: The Lion King” 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.
