Meijo Line 20th Anniversary Loop Completion Stamp Rally

This event celebrates two milestones: the 20th anniversary of the Meijo Line loop’s completion and the release of the movie "The Lion King: Mufasa." Participants can engage in a stamp rally, collecting stamps from designated stations along Nagoya’s Meijo Line.

Prize Redemption

Once three stamps have been collected, participants can proceed to one of two goal points to redeem their prizes. The first option is the Midland Square Cinema, where prizes can be claimed from December 13th, 2024, to January 30th, 2025, between 8:30 AM and 9:30 PM, aligning with the cinema’s operating hours. It is important to note that prize redemption is not available at Midland Square Cinema 2.

Tie-in Movie: "The Lion King: Mufasa"

This stamp rally coincides with the release of Disney’s "The Lion King: Mufasa," which is scheduled to premiere on December 20, 2024. This film explores the origin story of King Mufasa, the father who sacrificed his life to protect his son, Simba. The narrative delves into Mufasa’s childhood encounter with Scar, the antagonist responsible for Mufasa’s demise, and how this encounter shaped the orphaned Mufasa’s destiny. The story highlights the bond between Mufasa and Scar, a connection that transcends blood ties, as they embark on a journey to a new land to safeguard their pride. The film promises to reveal the "secret" within their bond that contributed to Mufasa’s rise as a great king. Presented in live-action and accompanied by a moving musical score, "The Lion King: Mufasa" is poised to be a cinematic experience.
