Stop everything! Disney has confirmed that one of the highest-grossing live-action films will be arriving on the streaming platform very soon. It’s the latest movie from *The Lion King*, which managed to captivate both kids and adults. If you couldn’t see it in theaters, here’s when *Mufasa: The Lion King* will be available on Disney+.
When is Mufasa: The Lion King coming to Disney+?
According to the platform, the live-action movie will be added to the catalog on March 26, so you won’t have to wait long! In the meantime, you can watch the first movie to refresh all the details.
What is Mufasa: The Lion King about?
Directed by Barry Jenkins, this film serves both as a prequel and a sequel to the successful live-action adaptation of *The Lion King* (2019). The story takes place after the events of the original movie, where Rafiki, the wise and revered baboon, tells Kiara, Simba and Nala’s daughter, the origin of two lions who are central to the story: Mufasa and Taka.
The plot takes us back in time, following the life of young Mufasa, an orphan who, after a series of events, meets Prince Taka. Despite their difficult beginnings, the two form an unexpected friendship, and Mufasa is taken in by the royal family. This relationship becomes crucial, as the fates of both lions intertwine through challenges and trials.
What starts as a chance encounter leads to a series of events that will transform their lives. Throughout the story, a group of outcasts, including Mufasa and Taka, embarks on a journey full of obstacles, while trying to fulfill their destinies. The bonds they form will be tested when they face a common, dangerous, and deadly enemy.
To add a touch of humor to the narrative, the beloved Timon and Pumbaa, known for their irreverence and jokes, are present throughout the film, offering unique comments and observations that enrich the visual experience.
