I mean, is there really any other choice? Mufasa risked his life to save Simba's on two different occasions. Mufasa showed no signs of weakness when it came to wisdom. Mufasa can take a wildebeest's horn at full speed and get right back up. Mufasa can take three hyenas at once. His death is actually quite glorious when compared to other people's deaths: Ray - Stepped on. Beast - Stabbed by a dagger. Esmerelda - Suffocated. (Realizing that Beast and Esmerelda didn't actually die.) Killed by half a million wildebeests. And even that almost wasn't enough. And lastly, Mufasa defies death. Now, most people probably rated this on his muscles. But if I've learned anything from Disney over the years, it's this:
"A true heroes strength isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart." - Zues -
"A film should engage, not distract. expand, not contract. Inform, not retract. Redefine, not reenact."
