New Episode "Ono's Idol"

[TTB-Kun]

Seen on the fb fan page, scheduled for 24th February
Not an appealing title to me, no synopsis. Probably just an ordinary episode, nothing special for the season finale imho...

I'm gonna bet that this'll be an Ono-Zazu episode, which I guess that could be interesting if you're keen on the possibility of learning more about that hornbill, and maybe even a little more about pre-The Lion King events. (Wouldn't count on that too much, but who knows? It's one of the few things I genuinely like about the show anyway.) Can't exactly see this being a 'proper' season ender, especially after the ending we got from "The Trail to Udugu", but maybe we'll be surprised. And hey, maybe the song will actually be good...

No clue why it's airing so late though.

The one thing I don't get is if Zazu is Ono's Idol (as I assumed). It makes no since because he has already met Zazu. Unless Ono has yet to admit to Zazu how much he admires him?

As for why it is airing so late, I assume they don't want to have too long of a gap between seasons. Assuming that they acknowledge the start of a new season.

I hope it is about Ono admiring Zazu. I need an ep about my birbs <3

Synopsis is out.

"When Ono meets his idol, the legendary eagle Hadithi, he learns that his hero isn't what he expected."

To be honest, I didn't think it would be Zazu, given that Ono has already met him before But this Hadithi guy sounds interesting. I said this on another site, but I'm wondering if we'll get a 'Patch's London Adventure' style episode.

According to Africanlanguages.com, "Hadithi" means "Story, myth, legend"

hmm...

[Panpardus]

Interesting. I smell an Angry Birds reference (terrible movie, by the way), especially since Hadithi is apparently voiced by John O'Hurley, the guy who played Elaine's boss on Seinfeld, in addition to a lot of other authoritative screwball characters. He's also a classically trained singer, so I'd be surprised if he didn't get the episode song.

[Squeely]

Aww, some Zazu and Ono interaction woulda been cute. Still, can't say I like Hadithi any less. He sounds bad***. I've a feeling I'm going to like this episode.

It's surprising that the Season 1 didn't over. The final scene of the The Trail of Udugu seemed to be a season closing thing.

It did. I suspect that The Trail to Udugu was originally intended as the season finale, but for whatever reason, they aired it before Ono's Idol.
