Mufasa: The Lion King uses a unique framing device to tell its prequel story, something that makes a remake of The Lion King 1 1/2 an issue.

Disney's next live-action Lion King movie after Mufasa should take inspiration from another profitable series that puts its villain in the spotlight.

The 1994 flick has spawned two sequels —"The Lion King II: Simba's Pride" in 1998 and "The Lion King 1 1/2" in 2004. Both of these spinoffs are available to stream on Disney+.
