    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This film follows the first The Lion King (1994) movie, following Simba's second child, Kion. But takes place before the second movie The Lion King: Simba's Pride (1998), with the Lion Guard TV series' season 3 covering the events of the 1998 sequel movie.
    • Goofs
      In the Lion king 2: Simba's pride, Kiara didn't want to be a princess and didn't know what to do with her life. In the Lion Guard: return of the roar, she absolutely wanted to be a princess,and even teased Kion about being heir to the throne. She said to Kion," At least I know what I want to do with my life."
    • Quotes

      Kion: [as he sees Mufasa] Hevi kabisa! Are you...

      Mufasa: Yes, Kion. I am your grandfather.

      Kion: Mufasa. I've heard a lot about you.

      Mufasa: And I've been watching you. You are about to embark on a great journey, Kion, leader of the Lion Guard!

      Kion: I'm not sure dad's gonna let me lead the Lion Guard. He's worried that I can't handle it.

      Mufasa: Kion. Simba is worried. But he's worried because he loves you. Being leader of the Lion Guard will not always be easy.

      Kion: Then maybe dad's right. Maybe I'm not ready to lead. Or use the roar. I'm not even sure I can control it! First, it's super loud. Then it's just a squeak. And I... I don't want to end up like Scar.

      Mufasa: Don't be afraid, Kion. Trust your instincts. The Roar will be there for you when you need it. And so will I. Until the Pride Lands' end.

    Not as Expected

    As a fan of Lion King, I am very disappointed. First off this movie is only 44 minutes. A movie is normally an hour. The new voices for the characters are horrible. Rob Lowe for Simba was a horrible choice. This film looks somewhat low budget. They could have at least kept the same voice actors and actresses from the previous movies. I think there should have been a different plot instead making it seem like Simba is against a different animal crew. The hyenas even look different. They don't look normal at all. What I don't understand is how and when did lion came about Because lion king 2 Kiara was a cub and grew up to be an adult and where was Kion? He was not in the second one. So for him to become a leader in the lion guard shouldn't he be an older adult lion? The plot is most definitely weird and you can not pinpoint where the time line is being held. This is not a movie I will recommend for anyone to see. I could not enjoyed it as much as I did with the first two Lion Kings. I'm pretty sure children will enjoy it especially if they are not familiar with the originals.
