Lion king Tv show: The Lion Guard

"Disney Television Animation has begun production on ‘The Lion Guard,’ an animated television movie and series that continues the story introduced 20 years ago in the acclaimed Disney animated film The Lion King. Geared towards kids age 2-7 and their families, ‘The Lion Guard’ television movie will premiere in Fall 2015, and the subsequent series will debut in early 2016 on Disney Junior and Disney Channel.

The wildlife education experts at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park will serve as consultants on ‘The Lion Guard’ stories, which will incorporate themes of conservation, family and community while also highlighting problem-solving, creative thinking and diversity. Author and Swahili expert Sarah Mirza is the language and cultural advisor.

‘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"

Aiming young, if it's ages 2-7..

Disney Insider e-mail muddies the waters with the headline "Be Prepared for a New Lion King Movie: The Lion Guard."

I'm excited about this. I've always loved the Lion King so hoping to see what they add to it with this chapter.

Age 2-7 that's very young. That's a shame. I dunno if this will water down the lion king brand

I hope Disney Infinity doesn't completely abandon the idea of having Lion King characters in the game. I really want Kion, Simba, and Scar to have figures.

Lion King is my favorite Disney movie, but I'm skeptical about this based on the horribly low age projection... I just have a feeling that it won't be quite on the same level (that adults can love as well) as regular Disney movies or My Little Pony. :\ (or Gravity Falls, I guess - never watched that). But I'm definitely going to give it a shot and hope for the best.

Ages 2-7?
Sigh... Shame.
