Mufasa: The Lion King Review

Mufasa: The Lion King, a photorealistic animated film directed by Barry Jenkins and written by Jeff Nathanson, continues to explore the thorny issue of pride in all senses of the word. A prequel to The Lion King, the film functions as an implausible origin story and lacks cultural sensitivity, despite its compelling photorealism. This movie available to watch on Flix hd movie.

Mufasa is the late father of Simba, the title character of the 1994 Disney animated film The Lion King and its 2019 photorealistic animated remake. Told in flashbacks, Mufasa: The Lion King is framed and sometimes punctuated by the continuation of Simba's life as a father and the impending birth of another offspring. Simba leaves his daughter Kiara (Blue Ivy Carter) in the care of a security team consisting of Puma the warthog (Seth Rogen), Timon the meerkat (Billy Eichner), and the mandrill shaman Rafiki (John Kani), while Simba must care for Nala (Beyoncé Knowles-Carter), who is about to give birth.

The Lion King

In the world of The Lion King, a pride is not the brothers Mufasa and Scar, nor even Mufasa's harem, but simply a group of girls who like to hang out together. Mufasa has only one companion, Queen Sarabi. And lions only give birth to one cub at a time. The Lion King begins with a celebration of Simba's birth. Simba is rescued by Mufasa, but is attacked and killed by a herd of wildebeests when Scar refuses to help. Scar tricks Simba into believing he is responsible for Mufasa's death, and Simba leaves the Pride Lands, but is rescued by a meerkat named Timon and a warthog named Pumbaa.

Simba grows up, reunites with Nala, and defeats Scar. Simba becomes the Lion King, and the film ends with Simba and Nana giving birth to a child, which is presented to the assembled animals, just like Simba did at the beginning of the film.

Neither Sarabi, Nala's eldest son Sarafina, nor Nala will join Scar as long as he is king. And we wonder who Nala's father is.

As mentioned before, there are other problems with the hyper-realistic animation of animals and the whole concept of a king of the wild.

Cartoons take us out of reality and give characters a dimension that is easy for children and general audiences to understand.

Mufasa - The Lion King

Anyone who knows anything about kittens or puppies knows that the birth of one child is unusual. Usually, more than one cub is born, but not in the world of The Lion King.

Simba says: "Friends, it is time for my family to grow." This means that Nala takes refuge under a rock and Simba must take care of her. He leaves Kiara (Carter) with his faithful guard team consisting of Timon (Eichner) and Pumba (Rogen), warning the boy not to tell anything. Deep in a quiet cave large enough to serve as a safe haven for Nala, Kiara is entertained by the mandrill Rafiki (John Kani).

Kiara will be familiar to Lion King fans who have seen the direct-to-video film The Lion King II: Simba's Pride and the TV series The Lion Guard. Kiara is Simba's first cub and is supposed to be the heir to the Pridelands, which sounds like a calculated counter to the androcentric nature of the original film and its remake.

Rafiki knew Mufasa before he came to the Pridelands. Mufasa was a young bear cub at the end of a long drought. The animals were happy for the rain, but in the desert, rain also means flash floods. Foolish Mufasa (voiced by Braelynn Rankins as a cub) went too deep into the water and was unable to escape to safety in time for the sudden flood. Mufasa's father Masego (Keith David) and mother Afia (Anika Noni Rose) risk their lives to save him, but he is swept downstream, far from home.

Mufasa is saved from a crocodile by a curious boy named Taka. Taka's father Obasi did not want to raise Mufasa, but Taka's mother Eshe adopted him. Mufasa is forced to stay with the lionesses, whereas Taka usually stays with the young males. He learns to hunt from the lionesses.

I always wanted a brother

When they were still young males, Obasi's territory was attacked by outsiders, white lions led by Kiros, who was bigger than Obasi and had more members in his pride. Obasi orders Taka and Mufasa to flee and asks Mufasa to take care of his adopted brother. However, Taka had heard from his father that "deception is the tool of a great king."

Among the lions there is a legendary place called Milere. Mufasa first heard about it from his mother. It's a paradise with lush green land stretching beyond the horizon.

Milele

The flock of hawks also knows that Milele and two young lions, voiced by Aaron Pierre and Kelvin Harrison Jr., are heading there. On the way, they meet an orphaned lioness, Sarabi, and her friend the hornbill, Zazu, and decide to rescue a strange mandrill, Rafiki.

But they are pursued by Kiros, who, despite his large flock, only has one son and wants to avenge his son's death.
