Now, imagine that scene happening with the realistic CGI effects we’ve seen thus far.
It’s the kind of thing that might traumatize and scar fragile minds, which may mean the film might find a better way of driving home Mufasa’s death without showing his lifeless corpse.
I’m not expecting Jon Favreau to go full Tarantino on showing Mufasa get eviscerated by wildebeest hooves, but recreating that scene the same way with realistic-looking lions would be rather intense to watch.
