Some thoughts while rewatching RotR:
- Man I hope they fix up Simba at some point. His hind quarters are too square, his walk cycle is floaty and mechanic. His mane also seems too short in the back. It sticks out like a sore thumb, since everyone else seems to be animated rather well. I know the show probably doesn't have the biggest budget, but I can't help but feel like this is fixable in some way.
- The ominous Scar thing at the end of Simba's Lion Guard speech? It could just be a reference to Be Prepared. After all, RotR loves to reference the first film. Time will tell if it's anything more.
- Man, British accents go so well with birds for some reason.
- Bunga's speech about wanting to join the Lion Guard is really sweet.
- Makuu and Pua make appearances. Cool little detail.
- Cheezi reminds me of Ed, Chungu of Banzai, and Janja of Shenzi. I wonder if they're supposed to have any relation to the original trio?
- Maybe Janja and his clan weren't originally planning on attacking anything until nightfall, but they noticed the gazelles, and didn't think any lions would get there quickly. It would patch up the little plothole of them attacking things during the day.
