'The rise of the makuu' is now available to watch.

[Elton John]

On itunes for free (amd I assume the dis jr app as well).

Just saw it. My thoughts spoiler tagged

Spoiler: show

I overall liked it but still have a few complaints.

Things I liked

-a lot of interactions between the various non-lion animals we rarely saw in the films
-More dialogue from nala! Yay!
-Simba actually doing king-like stuff? Yay!
-animation quality was as good as the tv movie.
-Kion is definitely a good protagonist. Smart, responsible, and an overall likable character
-fuli got more dialogue, i'm liking her more and more.
-kiara is not very bossy in this one
-it's fairly violent for a dis jr thing
-more james earl jones is always a good thing.


Things I didn't like

-bungaa is better than he was in the movie but I still don't like him
-more fart jokes? You're classier than this disney.
-the musical number was short and not very good.

I liked it but I hated the fart jokes and the song btw, Mufasa got a new voice actor. It's not James Earl Jones anymore. I overall liked it and the fight was great. I can imagine this being one of those shows that comes on while a little kid is having a play date at their freinds house and then saying "I'm not allowed to watch this show" though

I wish someone film this and add it to Torrents/Youtube/Facebook.

Thank you Disney for making my day.

Let's hope some lovely fan will upload it for us like they did ROTR, 'ey?

Were those even fart jokes? To me it mostly seemed like just Bunga's stink in general. Keep in mind, too, that badgers have a stink spray just like skunks do. Skunks in animation often release their stink, and it seems like Bunga is no different.

I will also be video recording it again to post on my Facebook page like I did for ROTR.

I guess there's nowhere else to watch it yet? I don't know the login for my TV provider, but since we're losing the service soon, I see no reason to learn it. I guess I'll be waiting for it to be online elsewhere.

I downloaded it from kickasstorrents. Thanks you Disney for not letting me watch your movies legally.

I liked the episode, it was quite entertaining and it's really nice to have these new character introduced and see the Pridelands as one, not just only lions being "kings" while not really doing anything. Pua was a great chracter, but he's too laid back sometimes.
The only thing I didn't like is the song. And I don't get why Tiifu and Zuri appeared there so suddenly with no role at all. I'd understand if there were more lions around, but just them standing there was a little weird.
