    Till The Pridelands End

    Judge the show all you want about this cartoon that was purposely aimed at toddlers. But this is one of the greatest shows that I ever watched ever since my past few years.

    The Lion Guard is one great fun show to ever watched that is literally from a TV channel called Disney Junior. You may think that Disney Junior has only cartoons about the usual cliche learning for babies but this one improved very well. Just like the other cartoon, My Little Pony Friendship is Magic or Bluey the storytelling in the cartoon is absolutely amazing. It even has to return the more returning characters Scar, Vitani, Kovu, Zira and so much more to count on. I also even like some of the new characters in the cartoon too. One example is Jasiri the because, for a female Hyena living only in the Outlands, she is such a happy and sassy-looking character which I am absolutely obsessed with. As for the episodes most of them are just fillers that are not very important parts of the show but as it absolutely progressed the show starts to become more interesting to enjoy because most of the episodes in Season 3 have a lot of callbacks from previous movies.

    But despite all how great the story is. The show has so many plot holes which I don't understand like how Scar gotta his scar, too many musical scenes in each episode, and most importantly the show did not even have a proper fight scene which makes it very anticlimactic even though it's a Disney Junior Show.

    It's not perfect but if you wanted to watch one Disney Junior show enjoy it. Then this show is best suggested to give a chance.

    It's a kids Show

    David Bythewood, its a kids show, nothing more,nothing less, you are seriously reading way too much into the show. I have a child of my own and he enjoys The Lion Guard and I think, if you have children, they won't be reading too far into it as you are right now. On another note, why does the show have to be based on lions and their actual behavior in society when it's a kids show? Do we need to portray the fact that KION would be eaten because the male pack lion eats their own male cubs! Or the fact that the entire pack is consisted of mating with their own family members. On top of the fact that lions hunt live prey. Why would they show that on a kids show? yes hippos are aggressive in real life but again, as a Kids show, there would be no need to show aggression. Kids don't want to see animals eating each other, animals being aggressive. Kids shows are to teach a lesson, to put them to bed, or to entertain depending on age. Hyenas are depicted as bad because in your so called favorite original lion king, they are bad and work with scar. The show is called lion guard and is based around kion and his friends. There is no need to have a backstory of how female hyenas stay back to raise their young. And as shown in the show not all hyenas are bad since kion made a friend with a female hyena.. by the way poombah is spelt Pumba.... simba obviously said not to have any other species other than lions in the lion guard because it's called the LION guard, but it is in no where racism considering kion create his group with different species of animals.... the music is of course never going to top the lion king but why does it need to? It is geared towards sound and easy words for little kids. It is on Disney JUNIOR.

    The storyline grows brilliantly from season to season

    My young son and I watched this show together every night before I put him to bed. His favorite Disney movie was Lion King and we discovered Lion Gaurd after subscribing to Disney+. There are not a ton of children's shows I can tolerate or even enjoy watching episode after episode in full as an adult. Lion Gaurd is an absolute exception - we enjoy watching each show together in full (only 23 minutes with no commercials on the streaming service).

    There are a lot of good messages and lessons in the program - tactfully well delivered. The voice acting and accent range is wonderful. All in all, a very well done show. I hope a new 4th season comes out soon (we just started over with season 1 again).

    Well done Disney+ for introducing us to this fantastic extension of the Lion King universe.

    It's fine

    My 4 year old enjoys it. I think some of these reviews forget it's for young children

    A fun adventure.

    The Lion Guard TV show is definitely more entertaining than the introductory movie. Now that they've introduced the lead characters and explained the backstory they're able to move onto mini fun adventures. Each week you get introduced to a new African species with all their quirks and issues which keeps it fresh.

    I do find it somewhat hard to believe that all the animals are dumber than five young members of the lion guard though. So it's not a super realistic show. I also wish they put a little more thought into the musical numbers. They're pretty obvious and not particularly catchy.

    Overall it's a nice fun show.
