I have yet to watch the episode myself, or the supposed film if there is one but the trailer alone shows a few "issues". To say the least, they clearly went after the animation style of Jake & the Neverland Pirates. Erm, I don't know where you got that idea. To me, it looks more like the animation from The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. I don't know why you treat this like its a bad thing. The Lion King is a pretty universally-known franchise. The animation is nothing like Jake and the Neverland Pirates! I assure you! Erm, you don't need to know the actors to know the franchise. Mickey's Christmas Carol came out in 1983 to introduce a new generation of kids to the Classic Disney characters of the 30's and 40's, and they got Clarence Nash to reprise his role as Donald Duck for that one! (Even though it was the last time he voiced the character before he died.) Erm, Lupus? Just because an actor did a role in a film that wasn't made by Disney doesn't mean Disney has to acquire the rights to use that actor. There's no law saying that actors can only perform under the contracts of one studio only! Now, if they were using a character from a franchise outside of their ownership, that would be a different story. Well, I saw the pilot, and I can tell you that Shenzi, Banzai and Ed were not in it. Instead, it was a brand new team of hyenas. Didn't the original team of hyenas die in the original movie? Actually, Zazu is in the show. But like Timon & Pumbaa, his role is severely downplayed. Also, Jeff Bennett is doing his voice. I hope that helps, Sweeney Terrier.

The original team did not die
I was referring to the line more than the actor and from a trailer I saw around a month ago it looked more like Jake and the Neverland Pirates animation than Lion King 2. Or do you not see how brightly lit everything, including the main character is. I remember Kiara's fur being a little dimmer than this; there was more shading or shadow effects.

Well, I know the original hyenas were not in this pilot episode, nor were they in Lion King 2. Where did you hear this?

I guess since the trailer focuses on 3 hyenas at one point I thought they were the trio from the first; Banzai, Shenzi, and...Ed. Which wouldn't make sense cause Ed doesn't talk worth crap....even in the Broadway performance.
Also, look at Simba's design; I see Jake and the Neverland Pirates in that look. Yeesh. (And then there's also the fact they made the characters, least the hyenas, more cartoony than the semi-trilogy. (As in the 3 films that aren't quite a trilogy).
Edit: I just watched a clip of the show, (or least a part of a clip), on YouTube and the pronunciation of Kion's name just sounds...weird to me. I was expecting it to be pronounced more like Kee-ohn (long o like in "no") not Kai-on.

Well, On the Ed case, the Film does show that he is...kind of Awkward, in the mind, doesn' it?
I think the Show suggests, that the ones, we see in the Lio Guard are the Descndants, of the Hyen's in the First Film, that make sense, Lupus? ;3

It kinda does I guess but....I didn't think they were THAT old honestly. It'd be more fun to have the original trio imo but then fans would throw a fit at Ed talking so easily or at all.

Hopefully there is an episode in the future maybe season 3 that it's Kion's other brother kinda like Bart and Hugo. But I watched it and it looks really good. I hope this isn't just a one season thing or just two seasons.

Why are you thinking as far as Season Three, Raine?
Also, Is there any reason why they would need to introduce even more siblings, to Kio? Also, Bart and Hugo do not really tie in with the naming theme, they seem to have, Do they?

I hear, in coming Episodes, one of Kio's Allies shall be a Female Hyen! It be intriguing to show that, not al of the Hyen's are antagonists...though, shall be be shown as "From a group of Nice ones" or "Only Nice one, in the group".
What you think. Pups? ;3

He has another sibling he just hasn't be seen on screen as yet. Only when he was just born at the end of lion king 1. And in the books, you know Kopa?
Yeah season 3 I am hoping it is a long series.
I am looking forward to seeing how Kiara is portrayed as well. She was my favourite TLK2. Also Timon and Pumbaa.
Maybe the hyena will be an outcast.

I saw a scene from the Makuu Episode.
From what I see, they simply get the issue, by having him show his strong "Rawr!", and that impresses Makuu to listen.
I concern, if the "Rawr!", which is strong enough to make a large number of trees bare, shall be how they work on all their issues, in the Show, You Know?

The series just started, and already, there is merchandise for it. I saw plushies of Kion and Bunga at my local Target the other day.

I've been avoiding Lion Guard thus far cause of the "mess-up" on the details I see but the more and more I see, namely on Tumblr thanks to Mizan's tumblr, the more I'm tempted to watch even a LITTLE of it. In fact, one of the latest Lion-Guard-related reblogs on Tumblr is this song www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKjsfZVIBug which sounds pretty good and the animation's okay.
