Mufasa: The Lion King has caused a surge in popularity for the franchise, but there is a forgotten movie from the franchise that fans need to see. The first Lion King movie was released in 1994. This hit animated film from Disney was a part of a significant resurgence for the brand after an extended slow period for their animated movies. And of course, while Disney continued to invest in new animated projects, they also expanded their popular stories like The Lion King.
