Disney's The Lion Guard
Sneak peak for Disney's new Lion King animated series titled 'The Lion Guardian' This one is about Simba's 2nd cub name Kion.
|
WOW. I been keeping an eye out for news on this. It looks alot better than I thought. I shall be watching and looking forward to this.
|
There'll be an even longer sneak peak this sunday at D23 Expo.
Also, the cast has been revealed: James Earl Jones as Jedi Ghost Mufasa Max Charles as Kion Diamond White as Fuli the Cheetah Dusan Brown as Beshte the Hippo Atticus Shaffer as Ono the Egret Joshua Rush as Bunga the honey badger Rob Lowe as Simba Gabrielle Union as Nala Kevin Schon as Timon Ernie Sabella as Pumbaa Khary Payton as Rafiki http://blogs.disney.com/insider/2015...imba-and-nala/ |
It's looks fine, but what I'm curious about is that mark on Kion's shoulder, what is that, this show's version of a cutie mark?

Can't Wait to Be Queen would probably be the one that explains Kovu. Quote:

Really disappointed that Nathan Lane isn't doing Timon. Wait, that didn't come out right. His VOICE, I mean. And why isn't Rafiki being voiced by "Benson" again? (Sorry for got his actual name.)
|
I really hope Kovu IS in this. Surely he can't be written out?

Well, it's made by the same team behind Star VS. The Forces of Evil, so maybe this will be a pleasant surprise.

Maybe they have not revealed all the characters yet? Can't imagine them writing out the main star of one of the movies? Lion king 2 is the only Disney direct to VHS/DVD I like, and Kovu was awesome. |

Sucks that Timon isn't being voiced by Nathan Lane, but I'm glad Ernie's returning as Pumbaa. Also thought maybe Cam Clarke would voice Simba since he did so in the animated series.

What in the world? I hadn't heard anything about this, but it looks interesting... if weird.
I much prefer animated series as follow-ups to classic Disney films as opposed to traditional sequel features. Man, I hated The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. |
A new Lion Guard clip! This one shows more characters and appears to be part of the opening sequence of the show:

Actually this is Simba's third cub.

Third cub? When did they have another? Never heard about it.

If you're going to take the explanation of Kovu from an officially licensed book then you need to take Simba's first cub into account since it comes from an equally "canon" source not to mention the ending of the first movie clearly shows a male which was retconned in the sequel. Fans even speculate that he died which is why Simba is so overprotective in the second movie. Counting we have Lion King 1 1/2 and the Timon and Pumba cartoon that are also canon I don't see why having this decently written book from the 90s automatically be considered noncanon. While my comment was mostly tongue in cheek the point still stands.

Yo, I've never even watched the second movie.
I didn't know there could be debate's on Lion King canon..how crazy... |
I loved the sequel and the third movie, too. Definitely can't wait for this.
|
The second movie was an early Disney Direct to Video release and it's fairly good. It's a bit predictable and of course doesn't match the original in story/quality/animation but it's an often forgotten movie that is lumped with bad Disney sequels while it's actually pretty good to stand on its own as a good sequel. The third movie "1 1/2" is basically the first movie told through Timon and Pumba's perspective with a few hijinx here and there. It was highly praised when it came out ten years ago but I only found it slightly amusing. I only remember watching a few episodes of the Timon and Pumba cartoon as a kid but I didn't like it. I would count it as a non-canon spin-off since they interact with humans in the modern world but apparently Simba and others do make official appearances and if "1 1/2" is canon then why shouldn't this show also be.

Here's a new clip from The Lion Guard, Which is an extended version of one of the earlier clips.
|
Looks awesome, can't wait!
|
From D23 a clip of the Lion Guard presentation that explains what the Lion Guard is all about (plus the theme song).
Apparantly it's always been the job of the 2nd born cub to lead The Lion Guard, a group of animals who protect the pride lands. The head always has the uber power of the ancestors. Apparantly Scar had this power but abused it and lost it before the first movie (but of course!). |

All will be explained in the Lion Guard pilot film in November. |
I wonder if they will explain Kopas death? You can't rewrite the ending of Lion King 1.
Maybe Rafiki dropped him as soon as the credits hit lol |
