Twenty years after hitting movie theaters, and 17 years after taking over Broadway, "The Lion King" is spinning off into a television series.
Disney has begun production on "The Lion Guard," an animated television movie and series that continues the story from the Tony- and Oscar-winning musical.
"The Lion Guard" begins as Kion, the second born cub of Simba and Nala, assumes the role of leader of the Lion Guard, a group of the bravest and brightest tasked with preserving the Pride Lands.
Instead of assembling a team of young lions to serve with him, Kion challenges tradition by calling upon friends he believes are the best choices — Bunga, a fearless honey badger; Fuli, a confident cheetah; Beshte, a happy-go-lucky hippo; and Ono, an intellectual egret.
Stories will include special appearances by Mufasa, Timon, Pumbaa, Rafiki, Zazu and Kion's older sister, Kiara, the future Queen of the Pride Lands. |
