La Garde du Roi Lion

The show itself doesn´t look terrible but it doesnt look great. It completely changes the characters of Kiara and Simba. But there are a few stand out moments. Such as any of the three episodes with Jasiri (voiced by Maia Mitchell), Jasiri is a friendly, sassy, clever, kind-hearted and overall a very likable character. But overall the show is mediocre because it messes up the first 3 Lion King movies.

It's pretty good for a preschool show. IMO it's better compare to the pilot episode. However there are two things wrong. One of them is a badger named Bunga, and he is so annoying. The other one is how the LG stop other predators having a meal. I know it's a little kids shows, but really. I'm not saying that they should show all that killing and stuff on screen,but have the LG stop messing up with the food cycle. I know that young children don't like to see that type of stuff, but we shouldn't teach kids that carnivore are evil. Like I said show all that stuff off screen and have the Lion Guard stay out of the food chain or "the circle of life".

@ sazzle_sparky and other negative reviewers The songs may not be that great, but how can you call them terrible? They catchy and good and well sung. How are the voices annoying? They're not annoying (expect for the white birds voice). The voices of Fanbutt and Dum-Dum are annoying.

I regard the Lion King as not only my favorite Disney movie, but one of my favorite movies of all time. When I first heard about this show, I was skeptical about the idea of centering on Simba's son Kion. I've seen the first batch of episodes so far and you know what? I love it! Contains all the things that made the movie so successful: memorable characters, zippy music, and a well written story that has some deep themes as well. This one is no exception. It may be a kids show, but there's plenty for adults to enjoy here as well as it contains themes of environmental conservation and racial tolerance (more metaphorical as it was shown in Don Bluth's Land Before Time). The characters are well drawn both in appearance and personality wise as each has his/her own strengths and weaknesses whether in defense or story-wise. I even love the epic intro with a great African Choir singing, plus the way that characters say some Swahili words make this equivalent to what Roger Ebert said about the first movie that it becomes "a learning experience as well as entertainment". Thumbs (and paws) way up!

Overall I enjoy this show. The voice acting is good, the music is pretty good, most of the characters are likable, the animation is good most of the time and the backgrounds in this show look amazing! Also I love Janja. He's by far my favorite character/villain in the show because he's so entertaining to watch and he even gets his own little character arc which leads to his redemption.

One of the things I don't like about this show is Simba and Kiara's new personalities, but they're not the main focus of the show and only have a few episodes revolving around them so it doesn't bother me much.

Another thing I could do without is the magic roar. Kion has a magic roar that can blow his enemies away. Almost every time Kion is faced with a situation that's hard to get out of he ends up using his magic roar to fix it. Surrounded by bad guys? Use the roar. Need to defeat an army of outlanders? Use the roar.

The magical roar ruins any tension this show might've had by having it fix almost all of their problems. It makes the villains seem weak and non-threatening because Kion can just roar them all away and that's the end of it until the bad guys come back and get roared away again in the next episode.

Hell, my favorite episodes are the ones where Kion doesn't use the roar and actually has to fight and use a strategy to win.

(This last one is a bit of a nitpick but they ruined the cheetah designs in this show. They look nothing like the ones in The Lion King)

Basically I think it's a well writen show about teamwork, forgivness, leadership, dealing with responsability, and controling your emotions. The show has some bad qualities but it's still enjoyable.

My young son and I watched this show together every night before I put him to bed. His favorite Disney movie was Lion King and we discovered Lion Gaurd after subscribing to Disney+. There are not a ton of children's shows I can tolerate or even enjoy watching episode after episode in full as an adult. Lion Gaurd is an absolute exception - we enjoy watching each show together in full (only 23 minutes with no commercials on the streaming service).

There are a lot of good messages and lessons in the program - tactfully well delivered. The voice acting and accent range is wonderful. All in all, a very well done show. I hope a new 4th season comes out soon (we just started over with season 1 again).

Well done Disney+ for introducing us to this fantastic extension of the Lion King universe.
