Why Mufasa: The Lion King's reviews have been largely negative? First, the movie's animation style has been criticized for feeling soulless. The hyperrealistic rendering of animals is technically impressive but lacks emotional depth, leaving the characters feeling lifeless despite their expressions. This "uncanny valley" effect, where everything looks real but doesn't connect emotionally, turned many viewers off. Another big issue is the film's messy narrative. As a prequel/sequel to the 2019 Lion King, Mufasa struggles to balance its new plotlines with familiar characters. The pacing is uneven, with some scenes feeling rushed and others overly cluttered. Timon and Pumbaa, fan-favorite characters, feel out of place in the film, as their role in the plot seems forced and doesn't add much to the story. Finally, the film's position in the Lion King timeline is confusing. It tries to combine flashbacks, new characters, and fresh plotlines but never fully commits to either the past or future, leaving both timelines underdeveloped.
