Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor SPOILER WARNING: This story discusses minor plot details for “Mufasa: The Lion King,” now in theaters. Lin-Manuel Miranda and composer Dave Metzger both knew the mighty musical legacy they had to uphold when writing the music for Disney’s “Mufasa: The Lion King.” The “Lion King” prequel tells the story of young Mufasa, voiced by Aaron Pierre, and his adopted brother Taka, who will be known as Scar (voiced by Kelvin Harrison Jr.). In writing original songs and composing new music, Miranda and Metzger looked at how they could honor the tracks written by Elton John and Tim Rice, as well as Hans Zimmer’s score from the original animated film.

‘Mufasa’ Box Office: ‘The Lion King’ Prequel Scores $87 Million Internationally, $122 Million Globally

Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter “Mufasa” has reigned supreme at the global box office, but the “Lion King” prequel is lacking the bite of Disney’s prior live-action adaptations. The movie, a prequel to director Jon Favreau’s 2019 photorealistic “The Lion King” remake, powered to $87.2 million overseas and $122 million globally. While those ticket sales were enough to top the worldwide box office charts, the film landed far behind pre-release expectations of $130 million overseas and $180 million globally.

‘Mufasa’ Cast Breakdown: See the Faces Behind All the Animals in ‘The Lion King’ Prequel Movie

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Disney had enormous success in 2019 with Jon Favreau’s “The Lion King,” a remake of the beloved 1994 animated movie that used photorealistic CGI and virtual production techniques to appear as if it was shot in “live-action.” The movie earned $1.6 billion worldwide and remains the 10th highest-grossing movie of all time, unadjusted for inflation. All of this is to say that expectations are high for “Mufasa: The Lion King,” a prequel to the 2019 film directed by “Moonlight” Oscar winner and “If Beale Street Could Talk” filmmaker Barry Jenkins. “Mufasa” picks up after the events of “The Lion King” as Rafiki tells the story of the title character to Simba’s daughter Kiara.

‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ review: Totally unnecessary, boring Disney sequel

and a prequel to the 1994 classic that was already needlessly remade in 2019.The existence of this follow-up, somehow directed by Barry Jenkins of “Moonlight,” is similarly puzzling.Its origin story about how Simba’s pop came of age and ascended the throne is thin as a reed but elephantine in pace. With so many look-alike lions who are hard to tell apart and repetitive action sequences that numb the noggin, you think: “Oh, I just can’t wait to be home!”Despite the nonstop peril, the cash grab remains a musical.

‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ Review: Barry Jenkins Turns Origin Story Into Rousing, If Not Regal, Action-Adventure Buddy Movie

The first thing you see on screen in Mufasa: The Lion King, Disney‘s latest attemptto squeeze another billion or so out of its gift that keeps on giving on stage and screen, is a dedication to the late, great James Earl Jones, who of course provided the regal voice of Mufasa in both the classic 1994 animated film, and its 2019 live-action remake. It is also a reminder that it would be near impossible to try to replace the presence of Jones, and smartly — especially if you are hellbent on adding to the franchise — director Barry Jenkins and screenwriter Jeff Nathanson have not tried to do that.

‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ Review: If Real Beasts Could Talk … Barry Jenkins Pushes Virtual Performances in Impactful Origin Story

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Early in “The Lion King,” the adorable yet spoiled African prince Simba goes gallivanting around his father Mufasa’s lands, taunting his future subjects with the song “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King.” In Broadway terms, it’s a classic “I want” number, telling audiences what’s in the character’s heart at that point in the film, before tragedy, exile, love and responsibility shape this carefree cub into a worthy successor. Flash forward to “Mufasa: The Lion King”¬¬ — or rewind, since “Moonlight” director Barry Jenkins’ impressive, emotionally satisfying contribution to the Disney canon serves as a prequel to one of the studio’s most beloved franchises — and we find Mufasa in a very different mindset.

Director Rachel Morrison On The Power Of “Resilience” And “Inspiration” For Debut Film ‘The Fire Inside’

Cinematographer now turned director Rachel Morrison knows a thing to two about managing an impressive feat and breaking boundaries as a woman. In 2018, Morrison, best known for her work on Fruitvale Station and Black Panther, became the first female cinematographer ever nominated for an Academy Award. Reflecting on garnering her nomination for Netflix’s Mudbound, she acknowledges the hoops women in the industry have to go through. “Cinematography is a craft that nobody pictures women in. And being the exception to that is the rule,” Morrison says,” Realizing [that] so many women actually can relate to this idea of it’s not enough to be good at the thing you do. You have to present a certain way and carry yourself a certain way.”
