When you think about classic animated Disney movies, we all have our favorites. But there's no denying that the 1994 movie The Lion King is one of the most iconic films, telling the story of lion cub Simba and his journey to becoming the leader of his lion pride in the Pride Lands.
With a plethora of iconic original songs (written and composed by Elton John) sung throughout, the characters (like Simba's uncle Scar, love interest Nala and friends Timon and Pumbaa) are equally memorable in The Lion King, too. Now, 30 years and three films (including a 2019 live-action remake) later, we get to explore this story a little further by getting to know Simba's father, Mufasa in the new animated prequel, Mufasa: The Lion King.
In this movie, viewers get to see how Mufasa became the leader folks witnessed in the beginning of The Lion King, and how his feud with Scar came to be. What's more, we'll get to meet our favorite characters at a younger age, along with new music penned by none other than Broadway playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda. It's a story we're excited to get back into, while also finding new ways to reconnect with Simba and his family once again.
Now, with Mufasa: The Lion King hitting theaters on December 20, 2024, it's likely you're curious about when the movie will be available to watch and stream from the comfort of home. Here's what to know about streaming Mufasa: The Lion King:

As for when folks can watch and stream Mufasa: The Lion King, that is to be determined. Since Disney normally likes to have its movies in the box office for around 90 days before making its way to its streaming site, if this pattern is the same, there's a good chance fans can start watching it as early as mid-March 2025.
Now, before Mufasa: The Lion King does end up on Disney+, you'll want to make sure you have an account ready beforehand. Luckily, the streamer offers plans that begin at $9.99 per month, and you can watch it either on the Disney+ website or on-the-go with the Disney+ app.
