User Reviews

The storyline grows brilliantly from season to season

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.
