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?

So I'm guessing Kovu isn't going to be appearing in this series? Wonder how or if they'll explain his absence?

Kovu might be explained in either the movie in November or the books coming out in January: Return of the Roar, Can't Wait to be Queen, Bunga the Wise, Meet the New Guard, and Kion's Animal Alphabet.

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

Wait what? What mark? *watches it again* Well Uh er... Im sure Rifiki will know....Perhaps this is why he becomes a guard in the first place?

Hmm, I wonder if all the guards have similar marks. I won't be surprised if that honey badger is the show's answer to Spike.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 08-12-2015, 02:33 PM

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.)

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 08-12-2015, 02:35 PM

I really hope Kovu IS in this. Surely he can't be written out?

And what about Kiara who happens to be Simba's daughter from the 2nd movie.

She's already been confirmed a long time ago when this series was announced.

Oh ok besides Kovu, I wonder if his sister Vitani shows up.

*ObiWanFan4life* · 08-12-2015, 03:04 PM

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

Yea that's what I thought.

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.

I think Robert Guiluame retired from acting. He had a stroke a while back and has been taking it easy.

She's in it. We just don't know who's voicing her yet.

*BubblyShell22* · 08-12-2015, 05:32 PM

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.

Which begs the question, why couldn't they get Nathan Lane back? It's not like he's busy with other projects.

*oldmanwinters* · 08-12-2015, 06:59 PM

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.

*Raph's Girl* · 08-12-2015, 11:07 PM

A new Lion Guard clip! This one shows more characters and appears to be part of the opening sequence of the show:
