The Lion King is one of Disney's most successful animated films of all time, and when the franchise expands with the release of Mufasa: The Lion King, a live-action Simba's Pride movie can be perfectly set up. The multi-million dollar franchise has expanded way beyond just the original 1994 animated film. It has spawned two direct-to-video follow-ups, two television series, a series of short films, and a short spinoff series. It has also moved beyond just animation, thanks to a live-action adaptation of the original film. Now, it is gearing up for yet another addition to the roundup, a prequel that explores the life of the departed character, Mufasa.
