Concerning the trailer

The vast forest where the animal kingdom lives in peace is shown in the opening scene of the trailer. It provides a taste of Mufasa's travels and the experiences he has with the people he meets along the way, as well as some adventures that influence his path. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, Billy Eichner as Timon, Donald Glover as Simba, John Kani as Rafiki, and Seth Rogen as Pumbaa are among the cast members.

The official logline for Mufasa is as follows: "Timon and Pumbaa contribute their unique schtick as Rafiki helps baby lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, learn about the legend of Mufasa. The plot, which is told in flashbacks, starts with Mufasa as an abandoned cub who is lost and alone until he encounters Taka, a kind lion who is descended from a royal family. A remarkable gang of misfits out on a far-reaching adventure to discover their destiny are brought together by happenstance and find that their connections will be put to the test as they cooperate to avoid a dangerous and deadly enemy.

The songs in the movie are composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Directed by Jon Favreau, the 2019 movie was written by Jeff Nathanson.

Reactions from fans

One fan said, "This looks quite impressive and promising than its predecessor," in response to the trailer. "Hopefully, with Barry Jenkins directing this, it will be something special," said a second admirer. Let's hope. "I guess from this trailer we see where Simba got his adventurous vibe from," someone commented. I had assumed he was simply inquisitive, but it appears he inherited it from his father. "I must admit, I'm shocked. The animals have more personality and vitality, and the surroundings appear more lovely and vivid. I'm rather thrilled," commented someone another.
