MUFASA is a prequel to the Lion King. Can it work? Will this be a win for Disney? #thelionking #mufasa 🦊 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: / alteori 🦊 PLEASE SHARE THE VIDEO!! Outro Music - Cradles by Sub Urban
@awildpokemonuwu It's a typo, but u got what i meant. Also, sometimes the dumb thing would change my words. I don't know what being a sub gotta do with anything. It's honestly not that serious
They should have watched The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe to study how to show "photorealistic" feral-style animal characters' emotions before they made the Lion King remake!
When I first saw the trailer of the remake the first thought of mine was, that Aslan and the other animals showed more expression than them in that movie which is just 14 year apart.
They could have also you know.. used the Jungle Book too.. like that was expressive as well. I don't understand why it was just so bad on that remake. I hope this Mufasa movie is actually at least fun to see visually.
Oh just wait he’s not royal but Sarabi is the kings daughter and through marriage to her he will be come king. In other words get ready for a complete shit show.
Dont be fooled. They already ruined it by saying "not a drop of nobility in his blood" what? Mufasa was supposed to be descended from KINGS he was not the FIRST King. They are going back on everything they originally established in The Lion King. Whats next? Scar is the good guy? No, screw this movie and Disney. Also WTF is an Arctic lion? There is NO SUCH THING. Scar and Mufasa are brothers, they have the same mother and father, that was already established.
i watched the trailer and was genuinely excited, until i read the plot and was instantly disappointed... i was hoping itd be a movie about scar and mufasas childhood, but they added kiara (making it a slight sequel) and totally ruined the lore of the lion king.... it totally ruined it for me...
I don’t like the part where they said he don’t have a dropper royalty blood then where the scar come from because that’s his brother and they talked about their father even in the remake where their father was king
Even though he’s not even in the trailer just the single line of Mufasa being said to have no nobility makes me kinda feel bad for Scar honestly. Apparently Mufasa is going to be Scar’s (in this movie he’s called Taka, apparently Scar’s just an alias that people started calling him because of his scar) adopted brother so Scar is actually the rightful heir. I just imagine Scar having his I Just Can’t Wait to be King moment then, from Scar’s perspective, this random low born peasant little shit suddenly comes into his life and ends up being daddy’s favourite son and it turns out Mufasa’s the older, bigger, stronger and more charismatic of the two, just a better leader in every pretty much every way so the throne that was rightfully Scar’s ends up being taken away from him by a guy who wasn’t born into royalty so technically Mufasa doesn’t even have any real claim to said throne.
At that point I don't see why they couldn't try and make Shakespear's Othello. Because that sounds like Othello, but keep it to the idea that Othello character is supposed to represent the new guy that is book smart, and Iago that ha the experience.
But there are certain types of foxes (I’m guessing that’s what the creature design is based off of) that have big ears though. These include Fennec Foxes, Cape Foxes, Bat Eared Foxes, Pale Foxes, and Blanford’s Foxes.
Disney just needs to go back to drawing their movies. The last good disney movies I remember Hercules, Mulan and the masterpiece Treasure Planet. Let's look when they where made....Holy crap, yes I'm old.
Winnie the Pooh 2011 was their last 2D hand drawn theatrically released movie. It was good but had to compete with Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows (can’t remember if it was part one or two) so it flopped.
@@aaronforsythe8556 Not really. If you’re doing it digitally like MLP movie 2017 then it’s actually cheaper. It’s the animation cells that are used in traditional animation that are pricey but there’s other ways to do hand drawn without using cells.
@@aaronforsythe8556It's more than just costing more to hand draw their movies. They'd have to completely reinvest in purchasing all the tools and staff required to do it again. They dismantled and scrapped their entire studio in charge of making their 2D animated theateical releases years ago. And unless they're shown that 2D animated movies could be more profitable than 3D ones, hand drawn Disney theatrical releases are not going to happen again. And I don't see that happening any time soon.
Prequels are hard. Prequels years after the original is difficult. Far off Prequels involving a beloved mentor or parental figure that has already went through their journey is inadvisable. Modern Disney does not have the capability to even come close to pull this off. Having Mufasa not be royalty is a red flag in itself.
Well Alteori, I’m afraid they’ve done Mufasa so wrong in terms of backstory. In the original, Mufasa and Taka/Scar were brothers+sons of Ahadi and Uru. In an outing gone wrong, a friend of Mufasa and Taka/Scar had perished from a brawl; resulting in Taka getting the iconic scar, and his original name means garbage in Swahili. When Mufasa was chosen to be the next king over Scar, he was seething in hatred;made worse with the final straw being Simba’s birth, and you get the idea from there. As for modern Disney, I wouldn’t trust the composer who brought the disgraceful song by Scuttle in The Little Mermaid remake.
Young executive says "I've got an idea, we got so much blow back for our heartless/soulless cash grab rebooted Lion King where we introduce our new computer graphics render engine, so when we make the trailer for our new soulless/heartless cash grab Mufasa, let's use the original song Circle of Life from the original Lion King that everyone loves, and put that in the trailer and sucker them in again." Head executive stands up, " Brilliant!"
The teaser trailer gave some really big red flags in regards to writing "without a drop of nobility in his blood" retcons Mufasa's talk with Simba in being part of a line of Kings, and another retcon in that same conversation is when the narrator says "a lion who would change our lives forever" indicates that he's the progenitor of the circle of life in pride rock not a part of it's cycle. I'm probably reading too much into it, but this smells of a typical bad prequel in the same vain as how WISH approached things, but I do agree it is presenting itself a lot better than that horrible remake.
It definitely sounds like a soft retcon to call him an orphan and not of nobility, based on the scene Mufasa shared with Simba after the hyena incident. He definitely implies his father had the same conversation that he would be a king in the stars as others before him. The only work around is giving Mufasa a star conversation scene like Simba had as an adult, but that's literally retreading the original if that's what happens to justify it.
To answer your questions regarding Lions in snow, there was a subspecies of Lion called Barbary Lions (also known as Atlas Lions and Nubian Lions). They were larger in size and had longef fur as they from North Africa, particularly in colder, snowy areas, likw the Atlas Mountains. They went extinct sometime in the last century, but I'm assuming that the implication here is that Mufasa is a Barbary Lion.
they really know how to bait.. they know their audience can't let go and keep coming back regardless how many times they get burnt. don't get why they didn't just animate it..
It'll be soulless like all the recent Disney stuff. They've spent years making sure anyone talented and passionate about the work was ousted, why does it surprise anyone every new release from them has the same problems? It's worth asking how important the people who work in a company are, if you for example replace everyone is it really still the same company?
I also think that in the snowy mountain maybe who knows maybe this is a flashback of the prehistoric days when lions lived in frozen parts of Eurasia in North America
I hope they don't make scar a sympathetic character and give him a sympathetic backstory. Can't characters just be evil for the sake of being evil anymore
@@metakron yeah but they are doing that with all of their villains and giving them backstories! It's not a bad thing but sometimes people just want villains that are evil for the sake of it. Not everything has to have a reason.
There are books that cover a little bit of their past that came out in the 90s and early 2000s, but the canon is debatable, and it goes as far as to tell how Scar (original Real name of Taka) got his scar, but then that was retconned in The Lion Guard show. I'm interested to see how this movie depicts their back story
its really nice that they atleast listened to the criticisms of the last loin king movie,atleast in its look anway,the story could suck but we can atleast agree its diffrent and not somthing thats ruining the og,i see this movie as them seeing if making the animation diffrent would actually be benificial to a newer work and probly understand now that remaking older works are just not doing good for them,this is a step in a good direction
Idk how to feel about this. Like a hurt animal, I am highly sceptic it could be good. But I think time will tell. I hope it ends up good though. Ok, I'll admit. It does look better color wise and facial expression wise. They might've actually listened to some of the criticism of the live action movie.
2:54 They must have COMPLETELY forgot about their own kids show Lion guard I guess... The line of kings and lion guards completely forgotten or reconed 😂 Yes I watched it with my family who were OBSESSED with it as kids. (lil babies)But as a full adult? Boy was that show annoying. However I could at least follow the plot and there was a segment showing Scar being the leader of the lion guard and well... Mufasa being portrayed as well kind of a jerk.
I'm getting some major red flags from this trailer. First, a lot of it feels like bait on a hook, like how the Obi-wan Kenobi trailer used Duel of the Fates to entice Prequel fans, despite the track never playing throughout the show's entire runtime. Second, there is a major departure of the lore that Mufasa doesn't have a single drop of nobility in his blood. In the original Lion King, Mufasa told Simba that his father told him that every star represents a past king of the Pride Lands, heavily implying beyond reasonable doubt that Mufasa hails from a great liniage of kings. Removing that also destroys Scar as a character, even so far as to delegitimize his ambition and motivations. Then there's the casting. It was abysmal in the Remake, and they obviously sticking to it.
I think Timone and Poomba are a mistake. They are cameoed in all of them. The circle of life demonstrates lots of animals. Feature and elephant, giraffe or hippo. They are rarely killed by lions so they can actually teach the circle without being threatened, but still fulfill the role upon one's inevitable death. Showing predator or prey, everyone is accepting of the circle, but determined for life. Simple message, makes sense enough. The starving don't respect the circle thus the Hyenas and scar. Cause the starving can't enjoy life on empty. All motivations clear. Now watch them fuck it up. Just pray it's better than mine.
Nope. They're not gonna jangle any colorful keys in front of me to distract from all their mistakes. When it comes out, and you all say it's actually good, maybe... MAYBE, I'll pirate it.
This is the best channel on youtube. That Lion King Intro is pure 1995 nostalgia ngl holy shit I can't not think of the OG movie when I hear that. Even more so for my wife
I think I would've given this movie a chance if they had just done this in 2D. Doing this as live action still separates the real lion king from this story, and it just feels so disassociated and lifeless. I don't know why Disney is afraid to do this, but if they had chosen this movie to return to their old ways, then I bet a lot more people would be receptive to it. Also retconning Mufasa's nobility was probably not a good idea, because his nobility was touched on in the Lion King and I think also in the Lion Guard? I know there is a story involving him and Scar, and this one line seems to go against it, which is not what most of us fans wanted. Personally, it just doesn't give me good faith in this movie no matter how much better it looks compared to the lion king remake. Because you're right it's definitely more expressive, but it's still to me like polishing a terd
I've got hope for this, I genuinely do. I didn't hate the remake because It was just nice to see everything again and the trailer looks good so I'mma give It a go.
Hello Alteori. MUFASA. Mmm, I'm not sure about this movie, I'll stick to the animated movie but the trailers looks interesting. Let's see where it goes. Anyway, another great video, Alteori, I like it, see you in the next one.
I've learnt enough from Disney that when they use the music from The Originals it's just nostalgia bait to get you in and watch their bad movies, whatever you do don't eat the member berries.
I'm convinced the emoting animals is a trap. I think they listened to that particular criticism so they could lure people in to see a story about how Simba's dad was a massive bumbling stuck up fool who's the actual one at fault for how the pride lands got in the OG movie and Scar was secretly the hero trying to stop/fix it all along.
Wow, this actually looks like a Disney movie. That trailer almost made me forget what year it was. Had me feeling like I was in the 90s again. That was a well-made trailer.
I'm of mixed feelings about the new chibby. I liked the old one so much it's messing with me. I've been burned so hard on all the re-makes that I don't know if I can give this one a chance. My jaded stone heart might not allow it.
About the snow, I doubt they're living in a snowy environment is probably just the top of a mountain like Kilimanjaro in the animated sequel to the TLK
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who actually LIKED this teaser. Also, I'm looking forward to what sort of story they'll make Mufasa's backstory into. But yeah, the expressions look like the animators & artists really stepped up their game & actually listened to the people who criticized the expressionless characters of TLK19. If anything, this should be BETTER than TLK19... and I'm genuinely excited for December!
Love your takes lass, your movie tastes align quite well with mine and you make really entertaining vids. Glad to have you sifting out the shitshows for me
I like the new look of your character. I have one question how do you come up with your creature? Did it pop into your head or did you thought about it for awhile is it opposed to be a fox
As a South-african I can tell you if you ain't on a high @$$ mountain (where lions have no business at) you will not see snow like that that covers the ground like it's the freaking artic . When it snow's here looks like god spilled a almost empty baby powder container( so like nothing ) it lasted 3 minutes.
