The Lion Guard is an American animated children's television series based on Disney's 1994 film The Lion King. The first two seasons take place within the time-gap in the 1998 film the Lion King II: Simba's Pride. The majority of the third and final season takes place in parallel with the film's second act, with the final two episodes serving as an epilogue to the film.
The show centers on King Simba, his wife Nala and their two children Kiara and Kion; who as second-born to the throne has been gifted with a power called the Roar of the Elders. Despite tradition that the Lion Guard has always been made of lions, Kion appoints his friends Bunga the honey badger, Beshte the hippopotamus, Fuli the cheetah, and Ono the egret. They set out to keep their homeland safe and protect it from animals who disrespect the Circle of Life.
