Disney’s highly-anticipated prequel to its billion-dollar live action adaptation, Mufasa: The Lion King, may not achieve the same box office heights as its predecessor, but it outshines it in one very specific way. The prequel, told in a flashback through the lens of a story that Rafiki tells Simba’s daughter, Timon, and Pumbaa, explores how Mufasa became the ruler of the Pride Lands. The narrative retcons details about Mufasa and Scar’s relationship among other elements, but ultimately leads to the familiar basic story of The Lion King that audiences know and love.
