Mufasa, a cub lost and alone, meets a sympathetic lion named Taka, the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of a group of misfits searching for their destiny.
While this is better than the 2019 Lion King, I'm afraid it's still not worth your time. I do think there are moments that it works but then timon and pumba come back or a mediocre song begins and it stops working. Though I'll say I think there were one or two songs that were okish. More than I could say for Moana 2. Though the songs were still pretty weak. I don't really feel like the scar arc was super well written. He just goes from viewing him as a brother to willing to kill him super quick. And even how things end with him it still feels off. The way they explain his name just feels so forced. It's watchable, and I do think the animation was incredible. I think they did a better job this time having the animals emote more. 5/10
