The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar

[Ponyfan]

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

That makes sense.

Who saw Never Roar Again? That was a good episode also. Simply put: You don't mess with anybody's mom.

[Ponyfan]

That was a good episode too. I liked how Kion tried to solve problems without using his roar when Bunga wanted to take the easy way out. I love seeing Muffasa also, but I do wonder why Kion is able to call out to Muffasa anytime he needs to and Muffasa appears.

That has been brought up before when in SP Simba called out to his father to no avail.

I love the episode with the outlanders. I didn't like Kovu's voice though.

That has been brought up before when in SP Simba called out to his father to no avail.

I wish Disney would have figured out a way to explain it. Even something as simple as Mufasa appears to Kion more because he has the roar of the elders but then that still wouldn't explain why Mufusa didn't come to Simba in Simba's pride when he was asking  for advice about Kovou.

Well consider this:

Simba was an adult. By that point he had learned a lot of life lessons from the first film. Mufasa likely wanted Simba to figure it out for himself.
Kion is a cub, he is young and still needs his guidance.


I watched Fridays episode with the gorillas. It's a little odd hearing dan and phil's voices in a cartoon, though. It kept coming off just slight odd to me, like it didn't fit. I'm not sure if it's because I knew them previously from youtube or what.

[Koudoawaia]

That's a good point Bekuno.

My husband and I just watched the new episode. The gorillas reminded us of an online Australian friend of ours who is rather on the silly side.

[Ponyfan]

That's a good point Bekuno.   I love  the line in Simba's Pride when Kovu says "Or am I to be blamed for a crime I didn't commit?" You can see  Simba's facial expression change after Kovu said that.

I haven't see the new episode yet. How did they work in the snow?

You will have to see and find out

One thing that has irked me about newer releases of Simba's Pride is in the original video, after Simba, Kovu and Kiara are making their way to Pride Rock after Simba grudgingly decides to give him a chance, they cut out the millisecond long part where Kovu growls at Simba's back but then smiles back at Kiara right afterwards. That part is only a few seconds long but is so important and chock full of meaning.

[Bekuno]

Woah really? I didn't know they had parts cut out of simbas pride. I have it on dvd and I'll admit it's been awhile since I watched it, but I don't remember that part.

[MilkyTaroMochi]

I have the first Simba's Pride release, I believe (the two disc DVD special edition set), and that part was kept in. Plus, I remember that scene in the original VHS as well.
but I am not surprised to hear that they've cut down that part. They edited their Kiki's Delivery Service dub when they released it on BluRay/DVD combo pack (but the original 2004 DVD release was left unchanged).

[Koudoawaia]

The two disc special edition would've been the second release. The first release in 1998 was only a one-disc dvd and of course VHS. Glad to hear that small but important part was kept in the special edition^^

[Ponyfan]

I only have the original VHS of Simba's Pride. I just put it in the VCR and the quality is terrible at least on my copy. My copy wasn't rewound last time I watched it and it was right at the part where Simba banished Kovu after the ambush.

I'm not sure why they would cut Kovu growling at Simba's back and then smiling at Kiara out. Kovu didn't attack Simba in that scene and like Koudoawaia said you can tell so much about Kovu in those few seconds.

I remember that part! It made me laugh because of Kovu's abrupt emotional change. I had the VHS copy growing up. Surprised that Disney edits their dvd releases! Seems like a random moment to edit.
