The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in Anaheim, California, has brought together 15,000 excited fans for a raft of film announcements, celebrity appearances and new footage from the studio’s most high-profile forthcoming projects.
The event has also seen a number of trailer debuts for highly-anticipated films. Mufasa: The Lion King is the followup – both prequel and sequel – to the hugely successful 2019 The Lion King, which used “photorealistic animation” to update the 1994 animation of the same name. The new film is directed by Moonlight’s Barry Jenkins, and features Aaron Pierre as a young Mufasa (who would grow up to be Simba’s father), and Kelvin Harrison Jr as Taka, Mufasa’s half brother who grows up to be lion baddie Scar.
