Turns out, instead of inheriting the lion-throne, Mufasa was an orphan who floated down a river before being discovered by a young prince and his mother, \u00e0 la Moses. There\u2019s a good, toothy thread in this movie about Scar and Mufasa\u2019s relationship \u2014 if you can dig it out from beneath the photorealistic lions, Lin-Manuel Miranda soundtrack, and super-duper simplified plot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">From our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/disney\/498183\/mufasa-review-lion-king-live-action-prequel\">review<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">There is a glimmer of something wonderful in&nbsp;<em>Mufasa<\/em>. Jenkins and Nathanson put a twist on Mufasa and Taka\u2019s relationship that could\u2019ve given a beautifully tragic edge to the confrontation we know is coming in&nbsp;<em>The Lion King<\/em>. But while their ill-fated brotherhood could\u2019ve added even more heartbreak to the original movie, it was also the thread that was doomed to never be explored thoroughly in this prequel. There\u2019s just too much working against it, from the flat animation and subpar songs to the preordained fate that awaits both characters. Sanding the nuance off that relationship might\u2019ve worked for a DTV prequel, but on a big screen, it feels jarringly abrupt.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"new-on-prime-video\">New on Prime Video<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"holland\">Holland<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>Where to watch:<\/strong> Available to stream on Prime Video<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div>\n<div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"HOLLAND - Official Trailer | Prime Video\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IJm3LHoqdA4?rel=0\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" allowfullscreen allow=\"accelerometer; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><strong>Genre:<\/strong> Mystery thriller<strong><br \/>Run time:<\/strong> 1h 48m<strong><br \/>Director:<\/strong> Mimi Cave<strong><br \/>Cast:<\/strong> Nicole Kidman, Matthew Macfadyen, Jude Hill<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Holland, Michigan, is a small, idyllic Midwestern town where the residents take the town\u2019s namesake&nbsp;<em>very<\/em>&nbsp;seriously.
