Tickets are now on sale for the upcoming origin story, Mufasa: The Lion King, which is due out in theaters on December 20th. With the tickets, fans are scoping out where to see the film in the hopes of finding some great take-home goodies.
The upcoming film will explore the unlikely rise of the beloved king of the Pride Lands, and in it, Rafiki relays the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara (daughter of Simba and Nala). 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.
Take a look at the fun goodies that can be found at each theater chain.
