The Lion Guard (2015 / 2016)

[quote="Akril"]Repeating an earlier post, but I heard someone theorizing that "Kion" is short for "Kiongozi", which is Swahili and means "guide" or "leader". I was a bit skeptical about the name at first, but as I've heard what people have been discovering about it, is seems surprisingly more nuanced than I first thought.[/quote]

If that turns out to be the case that would be a very interesting name.

[quote="SimbasGuard"]Perhaps more thought went into the name than you think. I wasn't to thrilled to hear the name at first but it has quickly grown on me.[/quote]

Well I'm cheering up now. I'm not the target audience anyway so Kion would make an easy name to remember for the kids ...

THERE'S GOING TO BE A CHEETAH CHARACTER.

Oh you. I imagine a new siggy for you in the near future then.

Yeah... it's dated about 3 or 4 years old now.

That is a very good point that I hadn't considered.

I'm hoping that isn't just a birthmark, hopefully the first episode will explain why Kion has that mark.

It's possible that Rafiki may have been given Kion that mark to show that he was the Lion Guard.

I think this sounds awesome, personally, and if I happen to have cable when it premieres I will DEFINITELY be watching.

In regards to it being a preschool/Disney Jr. show... Maybe I'm the odd one out here, but I'm 26, I have no children, and I truly enjoy watching Disney Jr.'s more story-like shows. As long as this is more of a "Sofia the First" sort of show rather than, say, "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse", I think it'll be enjoyable even for older TLK fans.
