Mufasa The Lion King (2024) Hindi Dubbed Movie HDTS

Simba leaves Kiara in the care of his friends, the warthog, Pumbaa (Seth Rogen) and the meerkat, Timon (Billy Eichner). When Kiara says she is afraid of storms, and after Pumbaa and Timon tell her a version of Simba's victory over his uncle Scar - which ends with the two eating Scar - the mandrill and pride's shaman, Rafiki (John Kani), tells her the story of how Simba's father, Mufasa (Aaron Pierre), became king of the pride.

With bathroom breaks, cricket snacks and a variety of jokes from Pumbaa and Timon, Rafiki explains that when Mufasa was a young lion cub, he was separated from his parents in a flash flood. He drifts far down the river until he is rescued by a cheerful, generous lion cub, Taka (Kelvin Harrison Jr.). Although Taka's father and the king of the tribe, Obasi (Lennie James), does not trust Mufasa because he is an outsider, Obasi's mate and Taka's mother, Eshe (Thandive Newton), welcomes the orphaned cub.

Mufasa and Taka grow up to be brothers, despite Obasi's warning to Taka not to trust strangers because they are bound to betray their benefactors. Trouble arrives in the form of a pride of white lions led by the ruthless Kiros (Mads Mikkelsen). As the white lions finish off the pride, Taka and Mufasa flee to the mythical oasis of Milele. They are joined by a lioness, Sarabi (Tiffany Boone), and her scout and guide, the hornbill Zazu (Preston Nyman), as well as a younger Rafiki (Kagiso Lediga), who is rejected by his tribe for being different. Sarabi's entry changes the dynamic between the brothers.

The photorealistic animation takes some getting used to and watching the lions' mouths puff out and smile is just as disturbing as watching their lips shape human words. Talking animals in traditional animation is something anyone can understand, but these beautiful nature documentary-style animals that suddenly open their mouths and start talking, not so much!
