Kervin G After the three movies that the animated movie The Lion King has. It's time to check the fourth movie of The Lion King that was intended for preschoolers to watch rather than young teens or adults. The Lion Guard: Return Of The Roar. Unlike the other three movies. The Lion King, The Lion King II, and The Lion King 1/2. This is the movie that has a length that lasts forty-four minutes meaning it is more of a short film for television rather than a movie that lasts one hour and thirty minutes more or less. Honestly, The Lion King is one of my first Disney as a baby and I never really understood much back then. But after watching all three movies again surely and properly I absolutely get to understand this movie again. It's good to explore more of Lion King lore featuring the new protagonists Kion The Fiercest and Bunga The Bravest alongside non-Lion members of Pridelands who are Fuli The Fastest, Bheste The Strongest, and Ono The Keenest of Sight. The colors and the detail are really good though all because the movie is made for TV only. I am not sure it's just the weather that I may or may not realize. The voices there are almost that I just remembered and brought more of the old characters. And the soundtrack here is actually very good To be honest for me the movie gave me so many questions that I do not even understand one example is about male lions. And why is Shenzi not here? Not to sound sexist but an animal fact that I searched is that females are the actual leader of a Hyena pack. This is not a really perfect movie but please. If you really love The Lion King Franchise. Please give this movie and the cartoon series a chance to enjoy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review Sofia F Simplesmente horrível! Um dos piores reboots que a Disney já fez! O enredo da série é chato, os personagens são genéricos, sem graça e nada realistas, a animação é horrível, e não tem absolutamente nada a ver com a história original de Rei Leão e muito menos de Rei Leão 2 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/27/23 Full Review Epic N Top tier charming and unique Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Tasia D The reason why one star was taken off was because of the part where Kion said "they're not hunting for food" when Janja literally said minutes before "... it'll be next to impossible for us Outlanders to take whatever animals we want for food." How this franchise continues to demonize hyenas is beyond me. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/17/22 Full Review r 9 Obviously not as good as the other two sequels, and even further adrift of 'The Lion King' itself. However, 'The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar' isn't terrible which is a pleasant surprise. Look, I'll very likely never set eyes on this film again but that doesn't mean it's bad - it just isn't for me. I'm positive the younger audience will thoroughly enjoy this and the subsequent television series. The animation is definitely a step downward, but Disney have arguably produced inferior across some other animated sequels. The voice cast are meh, while the premise - though fairly creative - isn't anything riveting. It's cool to see James Earl Jones reprise his role of Mufasa, albeit for only a matter of seconds. Not anything I can class as good, but I will say the target audience will probably rate it - which is the intention, of course. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member nice continuation of stories from the Pride lands for the kids to enjoy Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
