Where to Watch 'Mufasa: The Lion King' – Streaming and Home Release Guide
The film explores Mufasa’s rise and his bond with the brother who became Scar.
Have you ever wondered what made Mufasa the mighty lion king we all know and love? Well, Mufasa: The Lion King showed us exactly that — a thrilling prequel that took us back to Mufasa’s early days as a vulnerable orphan cub.
But it wasn’t just a simple backstory. It also revealed the beginnings of his complicated relationship with his younger brother, Taka, who later became the infamous Scar. Think rivalry, brotherhood, and the fate of the Pride Lands all tangled together.
Clocking in at just under two hours — 118 minutes to be exact — this movie was a standalone adventure. No parts, no episodes, just one epic ride from start to finish.
You can watch it on popular platforms like Amazon, iTunes, and Fandango. And for collectors and true Disney fans, physical copies on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD have been available since April 1, 2025. These editions include some cool extras too — deleted scenes, sing-along tracks, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and cast interviews.
For the streaming buffs, Disney + added Mufasa to its lineup on March 26, 2025. In India, it was even better news — Jio Hotstar streamed it on the very same day, complete with multiple language options including English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
