15 Most Epic Movie Moments Of 2019
4. Mufasa's Death - The Lion King
When it was announced that Jon Favreau would be directing a 'live action' version of The Lion King, similar to his work on The Jungle Book in 2016, fans were understandably excited. The Lion King is one of Disney's most popular properties, and with a star studded cast including the return of James Earl Jones, people couldn't wait for this movie.
The Lion King does however, feature one of the most heart breaking scenes in Disney history. Mufasa's death is tough to take, particularly when Simba is trying to revive his dead father, and is enough to bring a tear to the eye of any man, woman, or child that watches it.
This is just the reaction to a cartoon! How would this feel watching it play out with 'real' lions? The result is something even tougher to watch than before, yet so captivating and so damn emotional, that it is impossible to look away.
