With sing-along’s, fun characters and lessons on friendship, equality and diversity mixed in it’s no wonder the Disney show is a hit (for both parents and children). Oh, and there is also Jasiri, the one that teaches us to “Never judge a hyena by its spots” and Sisi ni Sawa (‘we’re all the same’ for those that are not fluent in Swahili). In a bold celebration of diversity, we have a team comprised of lions (Kion), cheetahs (Fuli), honey badgers (Bunga), hippos (Beshte) and egrets (Ono). That means that there is a whole new generation of lions (and other African wildlife) to delight the new human generations (though let’s be honest here, we sneak in a peek as well). Simba, like all beloved childhood figures of the past, eventually has to grow up and get a wife, kids, white picket boulder ring and a nine to five job guarding the Pride Lands – or rather have his son in charge of the Lion Guard (good security strategy that).
