I am not eager to watch Mufasa die again, but I am excited for the film nevertheless.

Neither am I, yet I must wonder what will set this one apart in tone most prominently. The majority of these remakes took a far darker, more gritty bent. On a related note as we are down this road of commentary and random facts, while the original [i]The Lion King[/i] is the first movie I recall, it was not the first movie I had seen that impacted me.
