The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar

[Ponyfan]

I just saw on Amazon that Disney is releasing a DVD with the episodes "Fuli's New Family," "Bunga the Wise", "Eye of the Beholder", "The Search for Utamu" and "never Judge a Hyena by its Spots."

 I was hoping it would include "Can't Wait to be Queen" and "Bunga and the King" I will still probably buy it  just for the Jasari episode.

I finally watched the two most recent episodes.

The okapi one was great. I loved his voice and the song!

The termite episode was also pretty good, glad to see the jackals return

-bumps up an old thread-

So did anyone see the episode last week that had Zira, Vtani, Nuka, and Kovu? I've been looking forward to this episode since the rumors about it were going around the internet! I thought it was really cool that they got some of the voice actors from The Lion King 2 to reprise their characters after all these years.

The plot was okay. I thought it was a bit surprising that Zira was suddenly obsessed with lions being better than all the other creatures, since that didn't seem to really be a character motivation for her from the original movie, but I thought it was okay for this show. They couldn't really give her the motivation for avenging Scar's death, since that's a little dark for a cartoon aimed at very young kids.

I've been wanting to see that episode. What is the name of it?

It's called "Lions of the Outlands"!

I watched it last night!! I haven't watched any of The Lion Guard so far since it didn't really look like my sort of show, but I've always loved Kovu and his family (especially Vitani! She's my favourite!!) so I've been looking forward to this one It was SO GOOD, aaaa! I loved Zira's villain song, and how they got everyone's original VAs back! (Well mostly, obviously they had to re-cast Zira since her original VA died, but you know )

Yeah, Zira's sudden motivation change kinda threw me too, but I guess they had to tone her down a bit since TLG's meant for a younger audience than TLK2 was? I dunno. I'm so happy they brought them all back at last, though! I never expected to see Vitani show up in anything again, haha.

My favorite part/moment of that episode:

Spoiler

(basically)
Kovu: We may be able to go back to the pridelands? ... i could see Kiara again! 

I really liked the episode, and although I wish Zira was more "Zira-like", it was nice to see/hear the characters again. I am confident this isnt the last we see them in the series. And this better mean that Disney is gonna release new merchandise for Kovu,Vitani,Nuka, Zira...and finally release something for Jasiri as well!

Oooo I would totally buy new merch of the outsider lions and Jasiri!

Jasiri is my fave character, even though she's only been in 2 eps now. <3 I love the brief moments we see of her pack, her sister and the two little pups! Hee!

[Carrehz]

ohhh I SO hope they make merch for the outsider lions!! I've wanted that for so long, aaa~

"Lions of the Outlands" is on tonight after the Sofia/Elena move. I'm going to record it and watch it later.

I loved lion of the outlands so much! I adore vitani and kovu and I really enjoyed the episode. I appreciate the extra information it gave (though it was what we could have generally assumed beforehand) and hearing Zira sing again.
I hope we continue to see them and Jasiri.

I also got a Kion ornament from Hallmark! Still need a plush.

I watched "Lions of the Outlands" last night. I thought it was pretty good. I assume from what Kovou said that The Lion Guard takes place after Kiara and Kovou met when they were cubs but before Zira decided to train Kovou to kill Simba. Although I agree that Disney probably thought that having Zira planning to kill Simba was a little too deep for The Lion Guard's target audience.

Zira was already training Kovu to kill Simba when he met Kiara. After they had met, Zira said his training would intensify. Anyway it does sound like you're right about when this awesome episode took place. I enjoyed it so much. Was great to see them all again especially Nuka. Was cute how he tried to hide behind his little brother in one scene. I cannot get Zira`s new song out of my head.

You're right Kudoawai.  It's been a long time since I've seen Lion King 2 . i thought Nuka was pretty funny acting just like he does in Lion King 2 ,  jealous of Kovou being chosen over him and wanting to please Zira.

I was surprised that Zira was able to manipulate Kion so easily into believing he would lose the roar if he used it against other lions.

I think he believed her because Scar had used it against lions since his Guard consisted of all lions and forgot the part where he lost his roar for using it against his own Guard and therefore for evil not just because they were lions
