My Take on the DVD

This was an interesting series that brings you back to the prideland and allows you to meet Simba’s kin as well as new friends as they have to create a team that will lead the prideland into the future. It was fun to see the relationships build, but also experience the humor, music, and more in every episode. The writing in the series was strong and the characters that are developed are strong. In every episode there are specific messages being shared as well and as a parent I can say that the messages I saw were ones that I want my daughters to be hearing. The animation was of high-quality and you can see and experience the passion of the animators and writers in how well both mesh together to create a wonderful series your whole family will enjoy!
