Here’s where to watch Mufasa: The Lion King in theaters, on streaming, and on digital.
Butit was the lions courage in the face of danger that elevated him to a leadership position.
While he couldve been happy not leading, Mufasa accepted the responsibility because Milele was now his home.
Scar was Taka long before the events of the original animated movie.
Mufasa was being groomed to be Takas protector.
But the name change is more than just about the betrayal.
The brother Mufasa knew was gone.
He couldnt bring himself to call Scar Taka because his actions went against the lion he once knew.
Conversely, aLion Kingsequel could focus on Scars story in the lead-up to the events of the original film.
Mufasas ending leaves room for more on Scar.
