Lion King news!

Written by Troll Berserker :



 

Hello Lion King Source, there are some great news for you:

 

1. Remember previous news about Legacy Edition soundtrack?

Each album will also feature newly created artwork from Lorelay Bove, a visual development artist at Walt Disney Animation Studios (Tangled, Winnie the Pooh, Wreck-It Ralph). Here's an example of the artwork:

The two-disc album is available in pre-order now.

------------------------------------------

2. We know about new Lion King spin-off movie and series to be aired on Disney Channel in 2015, “The Lion Guard”.

The series will be about Kion, the son of the now-grown “Lion King” protagonist Simba, who assembles a group of animals to help him protect the jungle prideland as part of a group called the Lion Guard.

“It’s kind of like ‘The Lion King’ meets ‘The Avengers,’” said Disney Junior general manager Nancy Kanter.

The genesis of the series came from a meeting Ms. Kanter had with Disney chief executive Robert Iger two years ago, at which the CEO suggested the preschool channel consider producing content for the 20th anniversary of “The Lion King” in 2014.

Disney Junior plans to launch “The Lion Guard” with an hourlong movie in November of 2015, followed by regular episodes the following January.

Kirk -- It would seem we are in agreement, especially about the name which should be more African, no matter from which part.

If this does well... *trails off*

Looks like a rip off of advengers. Disney should have made the name more Kenyan. This sounds too american for a name. Upset they threw fan made Kopa out the window. RIP Kopa. Oh well wonder how it will gain preschoolers who have never heard of TLK before. :/

Wow this sounds very exciting! I can't wait to see it! Kion sounds like a very interesting lion cub! I can't wait to see him in action!

What they usually do for television premieres is make a full-length "special" episode to act as the pilot for the series. When it is shown in re-runs, it's shown in different parts. Assuming each episode is 30 minutes long, the "movie" to start it off is really just a two-part episode arc.

So a film IS scheduled to be released. I thought it was one of those two episodes being called a movie release.

Disneymovies -- The character is not unnaturally colored, so no, it's not a sparkle character.

Hey, if you posted this character (Is like anyone is going to do it?) wouldn't be considered a sparkle one?

For this to be on Disney Junior begs me to ask, how many little kids have even seen The Lion King? Not only that but making Kion Kiara's little brother? For real? Talk about getting out of hand so quickly...

I think this series and Kion for the TLK fans, will be like "Twilicorn" for the bronies, when "Twilicorn" became canon for the first time, everybody freaked out, but when Season 4 episodes were released, it wasn't the "horror" everyone expected. So everybody will just freak out now, when the series start everyone will like it, but until there there's no doubts that the TLK fandom world will "burn"

So, if it states that Kion is younger than Kiara, does that mean Fluffy and Kopa remain?

"The show will be aimed at pre-schoolers and follow Kion as he forms a team of animals�the Lion Guard�to help protect the land. The Lion Guard is set to debut in November 2015 on Disney Channel and on the Disney Junior channel. Look for Lion King mainstays Mufasa, Timon, Pumbaa, Simba, Nala, Rafiki, Zazu and Kion's sister Kiara to make appearances."

There are some news informations http://tvline.com/2014/06/10/d [...] -sequel-series-the-lion-guard/
Kion will be the second child of Nala and Simba, so Kiara's little brother ^-^

EDIT : for some reason, the link doesn't work ... Just search " lion guard " and you'll find the article on this site ^-^

Hmmm, if Kion's the cub at the end of TLK1, that throws Fluffy out, not Kopa - Kopa was stated to not be Fluffy all along.

I've only just noticed that in the photo of Kion roaring you can see lions roaring in the clouds. I just thought it was a nice touch to draw into an image of him.

I'd love to watch this, however, I can't access the channel! Can't wait to start seeing more characters joining the Lion King universe! Will there be a new tab on the site?

The way canons work is, there are several layers. The movies are the "true" canon; anything that contradicts the movies is not canon. After the movies are the movie scripts, and after those are any TV shows (though, honestly, I'm not sure how Timon & Pumbaa would fit. It's more of a spin-off that's not meant to be taken seriously). After TV shows are official books, which is where Kopa lies. If the Lion Guard show confirms Kion to be the lion seen at the end of The Lion King, that means Kopa is effectively now non-canon. In other words, he doesn't exist and never will.

I have the feeling that the series will destroy everything we know about the fandom, be prepared guys, a dark storm of fandom is coming...

Huh. I've never seen anything worth watching on Disney Junior(Then again I don't watch it), but this looks like something I'd watch a few episodes of off Youtube.

Kion, huh? I'm over here pronouncing it "Kee-ohn" mentally. Not "Kie-uhn"... I hope that's right.

I don't think this'd throw out Kopa if you consider the subcanon, since he's confirmed there.

Well... this should be interesting.

And Kion? Seriously, Disney? An African name would have been far better.

I wonder how Lion Guard will fit in Lion King canon. I mean will Kiara be there? Nobody knows xD

Fun fact, Kion translates to "Ginger from Spanish to English, which makes sense- Kion looks like Simba who is, well...ginger

Apparently Kion, not Kopa, is the "canon" lion seen at the end of "The Lion King." That basically throws out Kopa's canonicity forever. Sorry fans.
