In 2019 maakte Disney een fotorealistische remake van de animatiefilm The Lion King. De nieuwe versie werd een enorm succes en bracht wereldwijd 1,6 miljard dollar op; destijds een record voor een animatiefilm. Nooit bang om een succes uit te melken kwam Disney vijf jaar later met dit vervolg over Simba's vader Mufasa. De film mist de ziel en emotie van de eerdere film en wordt nogal warrig verteld, maar jonge kijkers zullen er desondanks van genieten. De film bracht een 'schamele' 700 miljoen op.
