Der König der Löwen

Jon Favreau revealed in an interview that he brought James Earl Jones back as the voice of Mufasa because: "I see it as carrying the legacy across. Just hearing him say the lines is really moving and surreal, the timbre of his voice has changed. That served the role well because he sounds like a king who's ruled for a long time."

Scar's cover-up of his murder of Mufasa leaves a gaping hole: he sends Zazu to get the pride for help, and after the stampede, claims to the pride that he didn't reach the gorge in time to help Simba and Mufasa. Zazu is implied to have been exiled from the pride after Scar's take-over (given how the hyenas regularly try to eat him when he shows up), but considering Zazu still clearly regularly visited Pride Rock to relay information, it's a wonder how Scar's lie about not being able to make it to the gorge didn't get exposed by Zazu.

The Disney logo has a hand-drawn animated design and resembles the 1960s Disney logo, the same design used in Jon Favreau's previous Disney film The Jungle Book (2016).
