Mufasa: The Lion King, A Roaring Prequel Worth Seeing This Christmas!

17th December 2024

The circle of life spins back to the beginning in Mufasa: The Lion King, a visually stunning prequel that dives into the origins of the beloved lion king. Directed by Oscar winning Barry Jenkins, t’s a heartfelt addition to Disney’s legacy and delivers plenty of charm for the holiday season.

We caught up with the stars at the UK premiere, and their excitement was infectious. Beyoncé returns as Nala, and Blue Ivy Carter makes her voice-acting debut. The visuals are breathtaking, the music soars, and while the story occasionally stumbles, it’s packed with emotion and nostalgia.

Perfect for Christmas, Mufasa is a feel-good tale of legacy and leadership that’s worth seeing with the whole family. It may not reach the heights of the original, but it’s a roaring celebration of one of Disney’s most iconic characters.
