Mufasa: The Lion King Director Barry Jenkins: Making All-Digital Movies Is ‘Not My Thing’

Mufasa: The Lion King director Barry Jenkins says making all-digital movies is not his 'thing' and he wants to 'work the other way again.'

Mufasa: The Lion King will be released in United States theaters later this month. Directed by Jenkins, the photo-realistically animated film is a prequel to 2019’s The Lion King“It is not my thing. It is not my thing,” he said. “I want to work the other way again, where I want to physically get everything there.

Prior to Mufasa: The Lion King, Jenkins made 2008’s Medicine for Melancholy, the Oscar-winning Moonlight in 2016, and 2018’s If Beale Street Could Talk. “Exploring the unlikely rise of the beloved king of the Pride Lands, Mufasa: The Lion King enlists Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick,” the synopsis reads. “Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka—the heir to a royal bloodline.
