I still remember watching a special New York City screening of the Lion King in 1994. I was on break from college, and my mom surprised me with the movie at Radio City Music Hall! At first, I was a little embarrassed being surrounding by kids, but then my inner kid exploded as several animal-dressed characters emerged on the stage and introduced the movie. I was mesmerized with the journey that The Lion King painted across the screen. The colors were amazing. Simba was adorable. Scar was horrifying. To this day, The Lion King has a special place in my heart.
Now, I am excited to announce that Disney is releasing another chapter in the Lion King saga! In The Lion Guard: Return Of The Roar we get to join Simba and Nala’s second-born cub, Kion, and his Lion Guard team as they embark on adventures throughout the Pride Lands! Simba will assemble a group of unlikely heroes: Bunga the honey badger, Fuli the cheetah, Beshte the hippo and Ono the egret.
On their thrilling adventure, they will use their unique abilities to defend the Pride Lands from predators and maintain balance within the Circle of Life. In Disney tradition, The Lion Guard: Return Of The Roar bursts with humor, music, beloved characters and heart. I can’t wait to watch this heroic adventure on Disney DVD February 23rd!
