When is Mufasa: The Lion King coming out on Disney Plus?
Fans of Disney's animated films are eagerly awaiting the premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King on Disney+, and we're checking out when it might happen.
The Lion King, after many years, lived to see a prequel that brought the story of Mufasa to life. Made in realistic 3D animation, the film took a look at the origins of the young lion and his path to power, which was not easy. The story is completely new and has not been told in Disney films before, so this is a production that The Lion King fans will want to see.
When will Mufasa: The Lion King premiere on Disney+?
Some may have seen the production in theaters, as Mufasa: The Lion King was released in cinemas on December 20, 2024. However, some viewers prefer to watch movies at home, and there are those who like to watch movies several times each, and such people wait for streaming releases. So when will Mufasa: The Lion King be released on Disney+? Because that's certainly where Disney's movie is headed.
As of yet, no official release date has been announced for Mufasa: The Lion King on Disney+. However, we can estimate, based on the example of other streaming premieres, when Mufasa's adventures may be released online.
Elemental
- Theatrical release: June 16, 2023
- Streaming release: September 12, 2023 (89 days after theatrical release)
Wish

Inside Out 2

So, assuming that movies hit streaming on average 100 days after their release in theaters, Mufasa: The Lion King could appear on Disney+ in late March or early April. This is still quite a long way off, but before that, for the impatient, the film should appear for purchase on VOD services. This usually occurs about 60 days after the theatrical release.
