Yesterday, I went with my youngest to watch the movie "Mufasa", which is Disney's latest live-action remake. I enjoyed it with some new music and songs but still with excerpts from the old animated movie first launched in 1994.
At the time, I remember how it was hyped as being the first of its kind with music scores that included Elton John and the famous voice of the late James Earl Jones (who was also the voice behind Darth Vader since the 1970s).
They also dedicated the movie to the late James Earl Jones, who passed away last year in his 80s after voicing his part in the movie and was remembered as the stirring voice of the character Mufasa, who was the Lion King who passed away with his mantle passed on to his son.
This particular film was interesting in that it told of the backstory of the character of Mufasa and his 'adopted' brother Scar. The movie took us on an interesting journey that was incredible to watch as a live-action film with action scenes that would have been impossible to view back when it was first filmed as an animated film.
I recommend this film as a movie that the whole family can watch. It gives an interesting perspective of the family relationships and dynamics that gives one a better picture of why the story plays out as it does.
However, there are no spoiler alerts except to say that you must watch the movie yourself to understand the storyline. I will watch it again when it comes out on Disney+ as it was also a reminder of how far we have come in animation and live-action type films...
