10 Movie Dads to Fit Anyone’s Father’s Day Profile
2. The Wise Dad – Mufasa (The Lion King)
2. The Wise Dad – Mufasa
There are some dads that share life lessons and there are others that show you how to live your life. When it comes to providing a wise perspective on life, not many fathers do it better than Simba’s father Mufasa from Disney’s “The Lion King.” With a commanding presence and an even more commanding voice from James Earl Jones, Mufasa proved himself as a wise and noble king and an idol and inspiration for his son Simba. Not only did he bravely sacrifice his own life to save Simba, he also guided him through life even in the afterlife.

Not everyone’s dad sticks around but sometimes that lost father returns unexpectedly. Star Wars’ Darth Vader is a perfect example of when that reunion is not so pleasant. It’s one thing to be a bit angry when your father unexpectedly shows up in your life, but when he’s the reason behind mass genocide, that anger is taken to a new level. Needless to say, Luke Skywalker didn’t take this news well but for just losing a hand while taking the news, I think he handled it pretty well. After all he did, all he planned to do, and all that he didn’t do for his children, I think it’s safe to say that Darth Vader was the epitome of a-hole dads.
