In the section 5.1 "Novelization", the paragraph starts with "Unlike Shakespeare's Hamlet".

I think someone has vandalised this paragraph and those 3 words should be removed. 157.211.1.33 (talk) 14:20, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mufasa: The Lion King in production, so should have its own page?[edit]

Would the footage shown at D23 not confirm that the film is already in production, and thus, should get a page of its own? giftheck (talk) 21:58, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's currently being incubated in draftspace at Draft:Mufasa: The Lion King. Per WP:NFF, it should be okay to move the page to the mainspace, but I'll hear what other editors think. InfiniteNexus (talk) 05:59, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lead on reception[edit]

In the lead, it mentions lack of originality and facial expressions as key points of criticism. Reading over the reception and summarizing it, I’d argue that the overall shift to realism and a “lack of heart/soul” is mentioned more often, and thus, should be mentioned in the lead. 2603:6010:11F0:3C0:9D32:3C8E:7F12:AEFB (talk) 11:32, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
