Buddies, I’ve stated it earlier than and I’ll say it once more: the 2024 film schedule really was the yr of the popcorn bucket. And simply after I thought we’d seen our ultimate shock with that gothic Nosferatu popcorn bucket, Disney got here in to shock us all.
I actually didn’t have a Mufasa: The Lion King duplicate of Pleasure Rock on my metaphorical bingo card, however I’ll nonetheless thank the as soon as and future king for making it occur anyway. What’s arguably the central location of The Lion King’s mythos is now yours to take house from the films.
Earlier than you surprise if this announcement is as high secret as that forthcoming Mission: Not possible 8 popcorn bucket, concern not! You may feast your eyes on this future snack vessel, because of the tweet beneath:
Hakuna Ma-collect-these! 🦁✨Pounce on the chance to seize our Pleasure Rock popcorn container, dome lid collector cup, blanket with pillow pouch, and #Mufasa and Taka popcorn tins. 🎟️️: https://t.co/g8PNH2kHi3 pic.twitter.com/vTIMxaNgiQDecember 2, 2024
Oh my Pleasure Rock! As if we didn’t have sufficient royalty current in the marketplace with The Lord of the Rings: The Warfare of the Rohirrim’s battle hammer duplicate, this magnificence comes alongside. And admittedly, making a reproduction of The Lion King’s ancestral house for Mufasa might be the best choice that would have been accomplished. I don’t suppose children would need a bucket wherein the younger protagonist of Barry Jenkins’ upcoming Disney film has a head you possibly can speak in confidence to retailer popcorn.
Now I’m certain there are some sensible alecks on the market who’re questioning what I may probably be afraid of with this concession stand collectable. And to these individuals, I’d like to present a hearty thanks for remembering that point these Alien: Romulus popcorn buckets each thrilled me and creeped me out. To reply your query, I’m not afraid of Pleasure Rock as a popcorn bucket.
What I am afraid of is that I’ll run out of napkins all of the faster when seeing Mufasa: The Lion King, as I’ll want them to scrub butter off my palms and tears from my eyes. That’s particularly legitimate once you see that one other providing on this assortment are popcorn tins with Mufasa and Taka, the lion quickly to be often called Scar, displayed on them.
Facet observe: each time I hear the road “I at all times wished a brother” within the Mufasa trailer, it at all times breaks my coronary heart. I imply, have a look at these two:
Oh yeah, we’re all gonna really feel it proper in our hearts when these two fall out. So if anybody else is prepared for a heartbreak just like The Fox and the Hound, however with extra Shakespearian influences, then you definately received’t have to attend lengthy. You may see Mufasa: The Lion King take its place in theaters on December nineteenth, and in a wide range of premium codecs.
However if you wish to break your coronary heart over again with the royal drama at Pleasure Rock, you possibly can at all times use your Disney+ subscription to heat up these tear ducts. That’s as a result of each the unique animated model of The Lion King, and its debatably live-action remake, are each out there to stream on that very platform. Contemplate it an important cease within the circle of life within the Disney Vault.
