When asked why he felt he had to make this movie, given his body of work which includes Oscar winner "Moonlight," Jenkins recounted his personal connection to 1994's "The Lion King": "When I was 14, I was helping raise two nephews and there was a VHS tape we watched maybe 95 times in a span of 20 days. "In telling this story, we get to experience the real journey of how Mufasa found his place in the Circle of Life. "Mufasa was actually an orphaned cub who had to navigate the world alone, by himself," Jenkins said of the prequel. The prequel to the 2019 movie, which grossed over $1.6 billion, will show how he came from a humble life to rise into power over Pride Rock.
Jenkins added that Mufasa wasn't born into royalty. "Rafiki, Timon, and Pumbaa - we all know and love - are relaying the story of Mufasa," said Jenkins. Here's the logo for "Mufasa: The Lion King" which debuted at Disney's D23 Expo on Friday.
