Mufasa: The Lion King

Mufasa: The Lion King
All images: Disney

The first trailer and poster for a new story from the Pride Lands have arrived. Mufasa: The Lion King tells the tale of Mufasa's rise from orphan to King.


Here's the official synopsis from Disney

“Mufasa: The Lion King” enlists Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick. Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka—the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny—their bonds will be tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe.  

Mufasa: The Lion King

The film has an all-star roster of talent bringing new and fan-favorite characters to life:
  • Aaron Pierre as Mufasa
  • Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Taka, a lion prince with a bright future who accepts Mufasa into his family as a brother
  • Tiffany Boone as Sarabi
  • Kagiso Lediga as Young Rafiki
  • Preston Nyman as Zazu
  • Mads Mikkelsen as Kiros, a formidable lion with big plans for his pride

  • Seth Rogen as Pumbaa
  • Billy Eichner as Timon
  • Donald Glover as Simba
  • BeyoncĂ© Knowles-Carter as Nala

The trailer for Jim Henson Idea Man has arrived and it looks amazing. Most of us grew up watching a Jim Henson production: from Sesame Street and The Muppets, to Labyrinth or Dark Crystal, there was something for everyone. I can't wait to watch this DisneyPlus special that goes behind the scenes of Jim's creative life.


Here's the official synopsis from Disney:

Have you seen the latest Mickey Ears-style character headbands? They're adorable and a bit wild. Originally released in Hong Kong Disneyland, these customizable ears are making their way to Disneyland soon.

There are three steps to create your own unique headband:

  2. Choose one or more mini plush accessories 
  3. Secure the plush to the headband
Character Headbands

And there are quite a few plush characters to choose from:

Amaury Guichon's Chocolate Kraken

Amaury Guichon's Chocolate Kraken
Amaury Guichon

I love seeing the chocolate displays at Disney World every year. From over-the-top eggs at the Resorts at Easter to full chocolate scenes at EPCOT during the Food and Wine Festival, there are so many amazing chocolate designs to see. 

Unfortunately, I can't always make it to the parks while these delicious displays are available. So you can imagine my delight when I discovered the videos of Chocolatier Amaury Guichon. His chocolate creations are on another level! And the process of creating these amazing designs is just fascinating. This video of a kraken holding a captive ship is a recreation of his first design, which he brought to life at the age of 16. Incredible!


Additional fascinating videos can be found on his YouTube channel.
