My Lion King Forum

From what I've seen of the Lion Guard so far, the cast looks good, more or less. We've seen a large amount of Kion and a pretty good amount of Bunga, as well a snippets of the rest of the cast. Here are my predictions:

We already know about Kion and Bunga, so I'm not going to cover them.

I think, based on what I've seen, that Ono the egret will be kind of the "naysayer" of the group. He'll serve a similar role to The Magic School Bus' Arnold or Fraggle Rock's Boober. He won't want to go on adventures with his friends, but they'll drag him along anyway. He'll also be very smart, and use large multisyllabic words (but not TOO multisyllabic, lest it confuse the audience!)

Beshte the hippo, based on what I've seen of her, will probably be "the girly one," or at least as girly as a show like this will allow. She'll be kind and sweet, and probably be interested in adding bright, shiny things to her face. She'll like being "pretty," and make this tendency known. She'll also have a sassy side, however.

Fuli the cheetah, by contrast, based on what I've seen, will be the group's tomboy. She will be abrasive, like outdoor activities, and have a fierce temper. She'll serve a similar function to The Land Before Time's Cera or Fraggle Rock's Red.

Now, I could be wrong about all of these, but remember, they're just my opinions.

To me I think that Fuli will be a hard head, Kinda like Sara from the land Before time if anyone know of that series, or like Rainbow dash.

I predict that Ono will be one of those characters who don't want things messed up or maybe the one who is most scared to do anything.

Right now, I get the feeling that we'll end up with characters slightly reminiscent of the 'original' cast. So my predictions:

Kion = Simba: Brave, but also naive. Will learn much as time passes.
Fuli = Nala: The voice of reason, possibly. Hard headed, she won't back down when she knows something has to be done.
Bunga = Timon: Thinks he knows it all, when he doesn't. Unlike Timon though, gets himself into trouble much more frequently due to this.
Beshte = Pumbaa: Big, kind and lovable.
Ono = Zazu: Very intelligent, very cautious.

Definitely agree that Fuli will be like Cera too!

Ono is described as an "intelligent" egret, so yeah he will be the brains of the team. Fuli i think will be just like SimbaPrescott said she'll be. Bunga is a timon for sure lol, Beshte will be a pumbaa, and Kion will be a simba.

However, Kion did seem much more cautious than Simba was, as he's one that defies tradition and is very obedient even in the face of temptation.
