The Lion Guard (2015 / 2016)

We know that Mufasa was confirmed to appear in some episode of this series. I wonder if Scar will appear in this series too ? It will be interesting if they made some episodes about Mufasa and Scar's past like in TLKSNA books! It will be also interesting to see their parents in those episodes (with different names instead of Ahadi and Uru because TLKNA is semi-canon )!

That's a very interesting idea.

I'm so glad that you like this idea! Thanks for reply me .

No problem.

Looks awesome! Can't wait.

Although I wish we had a third LK instead of making a spin off.

Speaking of which, I'm wondering if there will be a female cub close to Kion's age in this series. Not a future love interest, but just a friend.

I had thought about of that also, while a preschool show would not even want to hint at romance in any way. It runs in his family to have a close friend of the opposite gender, although it also runs in his family that said friend becomes a future love internist. Although I think it could be possible for Kion to meet a lioness cub in a future episode of The Lion Guard, she could be from another pride. It would be very interesting to see what kind of interactions Simba's Pride has with other Lion Prides that they are not adversarial toward. Another thought that had occurred to me is that we don't know the genders of Kion's team, if Fuli the Cheetah is a female, she could be Kion's close female cub friend. that would also avoid the issue of Romance as this is Disney not DreamWorks

One reason the "female lion cub?" idea came to me had to do with the creators introducing a female lion cub to give the girls in the audience a female main character to relate to, but possibly one or more members of the Lion Guard could fill that niche. Or maybe Kiara appears as a cub in some flashbacks, I have no idea.

Still, if Fuli the cheetah were the only female cub seen in the show, you just know there would be a bunch of fans going crazy over that and designing litters of lion/cheetah hybrids -- biological incompatibility, schmiological incompatibility. (Oh -- speaking of friends of the opposite gender becoming future love interests...anyone remember Kopa's best friend in "Friends for Life"?)

By the way, one other item I haven't seen brought up is the line in this article, which describes The Lion Guard as being "[g]eared towards kids age 2-7 and their families" (emphasis mine). Though this is a pretty minor detail, it seems somewhat promising. To me, it seems to be suggesting, "Yes, parents, you will be able to watch this show with your kids without wanting to run screaming from the room", but then again, I might be reading a bit to much into it.

I have to slightly agree with you, but a spin off is better than nothing.

That's a very good point, that I had not considered. They would want a character to appeal to the young female demographic as well, and just to be fair she would have to be on the same level as Kion importance-wise. A lioness cub would be a very good Idea. Flashbacks of Kiara as a cub would be neat too.

Still, if Fuli the cheetah were the only female cub seen in the show, you just know there would be a bunch of fans going crazy over that and designing litters of lion/cheetah hybrids -- biological incompatibility, schmiological incompatibility.

Yeah That would be bound to happen (No offense to any of my fellow Lion King fans out there). I am just one of those fans that doesn't agree with every fan pairing...Unless it was my idea, then I think it's great.

I'm afraid I have never heard of that, is it a Fan Fic?

No, that's exactly what it sounds like to me. That is very good news.

I have hope (However Slim it is) that this series that this series will be a huge hit. Disney will see that Lion King still has potential for a Theatrical movie and we will get an actual 3rd Lion King Movie.

As long as it's not a 3d movie by Pixar tough, I could never rant enough about how cars and planes have turned into the cash cow they are and I wouldn't want to see it Happen to The Lion King. Sure Pixar is good at times but I just don't think they are best suited for the job of making a Lion King movie, however I have to recognize they are the next best thing after Disney animation studios (or whatever it is now...) because of their affiliation with Disney. But they would need help.

Thing is unless that series goes on netflix, i'll miss it anyways because I'm a french Canadian and I don't know the channels of New York state I pick up

^ Pixar would never be given any Disney project or movie to work on. It is a subsiduary of Disney, but an entirely separate studio. Plus Pixar company policy states that any and all story ideas must come from within Pixar.

Seeing as this series will inevitably be available to stream online, that is how I will be seeing what it is like.

If my information is correct, and I remember it correctly, it was a German audio book, in which Kopa makes friends with a female hyena named Asante.
