Parents with kids under 6/7…you know what this is all about Disney’s new show “The Lion Guard”.
Boy…oh boy…you know what will make a 5 1/2 & 4 year old yell at you…when you say…hey,it’s Simba.
“NO DADDY…THAT’S KION!!!”
Holy cow…it was like I got their names wrong or something. Silly dad, thinking that a show on Disney…with a lion that looks just like Simba…might actually be Simba from the Lion King.
Dad…it’s the Lion Guard.
My daughter might as well have just put a “duh” at the end of that. Get it together dad…seriously.
Well, I then made it a point to be well-versed in The Lion Guard…and now, I’m researching exactly what a honey badger is (because for 3 episodes, I couldn’t figure out what Bunga was).
So, as told to me by my son…Kion is the son of Simba…that makes sense now…hence the resemblance…and Kion wants to start the Lion Guard…which is a group of animals that will protect the Prideland….there’s Kion, a cheetah…Bunga…Poombah and Timon are back…and a hippo…rhino? No, hippo. From what it seems, they are battling the hyenas still left over from Scar’s reign of terror.
It’s a good show…I admit, I like it a lot…and the songs are darn catchy.
And with that…a Zuka Zama to all of us parents…(I understand 4 words of this song)
Oh, and if you see me walking around Target singing “Zuka Zama”…that means I’m happy 🙂
