Kiara is still a CUB!

[Elton John]

It still hasn't shown up in the disney books gallery while another one has. I think it's another fake, or a cover that is incomplete.

Not really surprised tbh, of course they'd want to keep her a cub since cub Kiara would be far more popular with a preschool audience. (And I doubt she's some sort of daughter of hers, I mean, Kion is supposed to be Simba's son and he doesn't look like a complete clone, it'd be clear if this was an offspring of hers.) If this is true, it's just becoming clearer and clearer that that in reality they don't really care about the older fanbase and the pre-established universe at all, that's a plothole you simply can't conveniently cover up. Where would Kion be the entire entirety of TLK2?

This also explains why they don't really want to talk about Kovu, I suppose, since he'd still be banished in the Outlands with the rest of the Outsiders. (Which are apparently still inhabited by the hyenas and look very different...? Was that another section of the Outlands?)

Also, gothprincesskiara, this is a discussion board. If you can't handle differing opinions, maybe a forum isn't the right place for you.

ok can we please stop the negative talk with TLK 2 as some of us still love it, back to kIara now.

I am not trying to be negative. TLK2 is my favorite and Kiara is my favorite character.

look im just a bit down right now about it because im sick and tired of the cubs all the time, if they were to focus a little more on the adult lions that would make us alot more happy, cause whats wrong with showing adult lion characters to the little kids why does it always have to be the cubs, same with the merchandise. Its hard for us older fans to see this as a kids point of view cause some of us may have a little more advance point of you and thats what upsets me with Disney not recognizing us TLK fans, its just sad for me, and that's my opinion which im sure free to express on here.

Im leaning more of that Eden Riegal is more for an Adult kIara and thats what I hoping for, and if that book cover is a fake, who ever is messing with other fans, question how the heck do they make look like a real product of a children book.

If I wanted to put enough time into it, or found a good enough fan art image, I could easily make it look like a real book in under an hour in Photoshop. I'm far from being pro at it, too. Plenty of people are much better at art and Photoshop than I am, and I've seen loads of fan made "book art" on dA that looks drawn by Disney.

[gothprincesskiara]

true but they even put a pride on this one, so does that make official?

[Elton John]

Someone who works as an animator on tlg JUST posted on the fb tlg page I run. I'm asking her via pm if Kiara is still a cub.

[KiovuLove]

Idk if anyone saw my comment cuz I added it in after posting it originally, but I did notice that this one doesnt say that its subject to change like the others did. Not fully sure if that means anything

[LittleRolox3]

i swear i totally posted on this forum hours ago but apparently whatever i said isnt there so meh XD
basically,
the cover has to be official if it wasnt it would have the "Cover not final" on it like the older one had. and if it wasnt final they wouldnt have posted it to amazon. they would have to put the official cover on there or else if it was different they would be fined for False Advertising if you get where im coming from&&

It's K

Edit: Seriously though it's not that big of a deal lol
