What do y’all think about the new Mufasa movie?

[Brittanyroseee]

Eh, have no interest.
Disney completely changed the backstory behind mufasa and scar, now making mufasa an orphan and scar the royal heir whos family adopted mufasa.
They were always biological siblings with scar being the younger one.
Lion Guard tv show already explained their background history.
Why make a movie about them and completely change their background story and also make mufasa an orphan who stole scars throne?
Now disney has made mufasa hated, and people are sharing memes about scar, now defending him.
I know its just a movie, but disney now has villainized mufasa and made it seem like he stole the throne.

Honestly the movie got to stop recycling old movies and tv show and came up with original material. No more remakes, reboots, reimagining, spinoffs, sequels, prequels, rewrites, reediting, retelling, live actions etc.
This is a kids movie but kids just aren't intrested, Disney's biggest hit in years was frozen which was orginial.

All the Disney live action movies have been awful. I saw the trailer for the new Snow White live action movie. Thy used CGI for the dwarves. When they made the movie the first time they used regular sized actors to be the 7 dwarfs. I saw the advance footage. I thought that they looked like the Village People. I expected them to burst out singing YMCA.
Everything Disney has touched had turned to dog doo doo .

I feel like they have moments of highs and lows. Either they're stuck in a low, or the low really sunk in once the era of 2015 onwards began - or at least I felt like Monsters University was incredible in 2013 - and then the likes of streaming came and the likes of all these old shows being rebooted felt cheapened and also that you know - the drive for creativity seemed to fizzle definitely from Toy Story 4 (a spork, a spoon fork, sigh, that really made me cringe ( 😬 🤢

Oh wow, Disney's taking quite a bold step with the new Mufasa movie, huh? 🦁 It’s definitely stirring the pot by altering such iconic characters' backgrounds. Changing Mufasa's backstory to being an orphan and Scar as the royal heir seems like a massive shift from what we're familiar with. People often have strong attachments to the original tales, especially when they’ve grown up with them.

Making Mufasa seem like he stole Scar's throne does add a complex layer to his character, but it can also upset fans who adored the original storyline. Remember how much backlash "The Lion King" 2019 remake received for its realistic yet somewhat expressionless characters?

As an avid movie buff, I get that filmmakers want to keep things fresh, but some stories are classics for a reason. Changing the essence of these characters might be seen as disrespecting the original narrative.

Let's see how it all unfolds! Sometimes these creative liberties can surprise us in a good way, or they might just be fuel for endless debates and memes!🎥🍿

When I looked - at an image of the poster - I thought no.

And when they announced the Disney expo the teaser spoilers for Toy Story 5 that's when my brain clicked "Disney films (specifically, the theme parks exclud) to me, is not worth looking forward to, anymore"
