[The Lion King] Mufasa is badly injured in the wildebeest stampede, but manages to survive. How does the rest of the movie play out differently?

Pretty quickly IMO. It's his word against Scar's, who was never popular to begin with, and only had an alliance with the hyenas on the promise they'd have prime access to food when he's king. Mufasa has the whole of the pride on his side. Knowing Mufasa, he probably wouldn't have Scar killed even after a murder attempt, but would have him exiled. Mufasa's injuries would probably last his entire life, and he would be more dependent on the pride to do anything physical for him until Simba came of age. Simba would grow up to be suspicious, colder, practical (think Stannis Baratheon).
