    • Trivia
      James Earl Jones , who played Mufasa from 1994 to 2019, passed away at 93 on September 9, 2024. This film is dedicated to his memory. He was actually asked to return to play Mufasa, but he declined due to retiring from acting in 2022. However, before he died, Jones gave Disney permission to replicate his voice using AI, in addition to using archival audio, with iconic characters Darth Vader and Mufasa in mind. While Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) did not use AI, they did use a brief bit of archival sound towards the beginning of the film.
    • Goofs
      Mufasa is proven to have an excellent sense of smell, proven by being able to smell duck flowers on Sarabi from her valley, despite her not having been there for days. But he did not smell Kiros on Taka after Taka betrayed Mufasa and joined the white lions.
    • Quotes

      Taka : Mufasa, please forgive me.

      Zazu : You must banish him, sire.

      Mufasa : As long as I'm king, my brother will have a place here.

      Taka : Brother, I'm so...

      Mufasa : But I won't ever say your name again. I can't. I won't.

      Taka : Then call me Scar. So I will never forget what I have done.

      Mufasa : Scar.

      Taka : [He bows and leaves.] Your Majesty.

    You Get What You Go In For

    The score always delivers emotionally. What I noticed is that Disney is losing, with the latest products, that double layer, the message under the surface that only adults can decipher. Maybe it's because of the story and the circumstances, but I found it too exclusive for children, especially from a director like Jenkins.

    Everything else is okay. Nothing big, nothing great. You get what you go in for, emotion, fun, something that could make you feel again the feelings that you felt the first time you watched the original thing. I don't know if they're going to expand the cinematic universe.

    Italian dubbing sucked. Singers can't dub. Period.
