This episode was pretty good.
Nala and Kiara got a good amount of screentime in spite of the focus on simba and bunga. And bunga is slowly getting more and more tolerable. Not a great or even good character yet but not one that is always annoying. Just mostly annoying with moments of being likeable.
I also thought that tlg's version of hakuna matata was decent, and I loved all the callbacks to tlk1. Simba climbing up the rocks and falling was very mufasa-esque. Proof enough that the fall didn't kill mufasa but the wildebeast stampede did instead.
I'd give this ep an 8/10
