How do we get used to all this?

the only major thing missing is her black tear marks, and thats very educational

I am no artist, but I think Fuli's tear marks could have been left out on intentionally to make her look. more cute in a cartoony sort of way.

The tear marks look great on a real cheetah, but for a Cartoon targeting a preschool audience, I am not sure they would look right. Perhaps the animators were worried that the tear marks would make Fuli look mean, or make the preschoolers think she was crying.

That might be true, however she is missing all the characteristics of a cheetah. Fuli being a king cheetah is the onlt explanation of her large markings and I'm okay with this (even though the markings are not accurate at all), but I think they could've done much better job on her.


That time when unofficial book makes a better job doing a cheetah character than real Disney team...

[SimbasGuard]

Very valid point with an excellent visual aid. I personally think Fuli looks cute, bit I agree if she is intended to be a king cheetah. It should be mentioned, especially if The Lion Guard wants to be educational.

notice how Kions eyes are ether red brown or yellow.....why?


and yes we have all argued about how Nalas eyes are either green aqua or blue, but now Kion has 3 different eye colors

[Troll Berserker]

Sorry, but now you're just searching for errors when there are no errors at all.
Before the finalized, offcial footage Kion's design changed very often but now Kion's eyes are brown and they are always brown. This one is just because of lighting...

[SimbasGuard]

One thing I have noticed is that Kion's Sclera (White of the eye) is almost always yellow, in any footage we see. I am glad that this is the case, because that is how it is in The Lion King.

Now I don't remember talking about this, or what was said about it but what about how our characters are able to jump higher then what they should? like Bunga can land from a high fall and in the book it shows him jumping from Pride Rock, um its totally ruining how accurately and dangerously high Pride Rock is, or am I wrong, cause how about when Simba was hanging from Pride rock? I get there was fire below but it just confusing, so I guess my question is, could any lion jump from Pride rock ledge? I guess these high jump abilities are meant for little kids? cause they pretend the same thing when they play with there toys. o you get what im saying? but then again I guess that going back to why Bunga is blue and not black, again its so hard to see this from a kids point of view. but that's jut me

[SimbasGuard]

That does seem a bit extreme, (and definitely not the best thing to teach kids.), but I know that Honey Badgers are very tough in real life. Although I doubt that jummping off of Pride Rock (Or an actual structure of the same height) would be something a real Honey Badger would live through in real life. Perhaps Bunga's power is some form of enhanced durability. after all how can bravery be a super power. Truthfully though it is more likely due to cartoon physics and we just supposed to not think about it.

[gothprincesskiara]

yeah its just they didn't do this in TLK

[SimbasGuard]

Lion King took itself very seriously. If it makes you feel any better, in Kingdom Hearts 2 Sora can jump from Pride Rock without getting hurt.
