  • Janja, I'm hungry!

  • Me, too!

  • You two only have yourselves to blame.

  • To think that you were scared by the roar of a lion cub!

  • Janja, see, Kion's roar,

  • it wasn't like, like a normal roar.

  • It was, uh... (NERVOUS LAUGH) Super loud!

  • And the clouds! They turned into roaring lions!

  • Oh! So you're scared of clouds, too?

  • (LAUGHING)

  • Stuff it, fur brains!

  • Seems we have a visitor to our humble humid den.

  • Janja. Hyenas.

  • Mzingo! What are you doing this far into the Outlands?

  • Looking for leftovers?

  • No, but I'd be happy to eat...

  • Forget it. We don't have any.

  • Simba's cub, Kion, managed to cancel our lunch plans.

  • (LAUGHING)

  • Then you already know about Kion.

  • Know what?

  • Simba has told Kion to assemble a new Lion Guard.

  • Lion Guard? That's impossible.

  • The Lion Guard died out after Scar...

  • Unless...

  • (STAMMERS) Janja?

  • The Roar! Of course!

  • Of course what?

  • Don't you know the stories?

  • The Lion Guard was legendary.

  • The most powerful team of lions in the Pride Lands.

  • At least they were... (SNICKERING)

  • Until Scar destroyed them!

  • (LAUGHING)

  • What? A lion destroyed the Lion Guard?

  • Or so the story goes.

  • Ha-ha-hilarious!

  • Yeah! Them lions ain't too bright!

  • Stuff it, fur brains!

  • A new Lion Guard could be very bad news for us hyenas.

  • And all the other Outlanders.

  • I gathered as much from what I overheard from Kion.

  • Yes. The old Lion Guard protected the so-called Circle of Life.

  • If Kion's new Lion Guard wins the trust of the Pride Lands,

  • we Outlanders will...

  • (GROWLS)

  • (HYENAS LAUGHING)

  • Now, Janja. What were you saying about the Lion Guard and the Outlanders?

  • I was saying...

  • With a Lion Guard patrolling the Pride Lands,

  • it will be next to impossible for us Outlanders

  • to take whatever animals we want for food.

  • Then what're we gonna do?

  • Ooh, we could eat each other.

  • No! We'll strike now.

  • Before the Lion Guard is ready.

  • And we'll take down all the animals we can.

  • Mmm. I like the sound of that.

  • Whole herds of animals!

  • Yeah, right!

  • Tasty!

  • Tonight, we Outlanders will feast.

  • Hyenas and vultures alike!

  • Tonight, we strike!

  • (LAUGHS)

  • When you live in the Outlands

  • It's better to make your own rules

  • Ask anyone outside the Pride Lands

  • The Circle of Life is for fools

  • (VOCALIZING)

  • We go where we want when we want to

  • And we eat Yes, we eat as we please

  • That Kion can't give us a curfew

  • Or tell us to stay in the trees

  • CHROUS: ♪ No!

  • Tonight, we strike Tonight, we strike

  • No one's safe So the time is right

  • The Circle of Life's gonna feel our bite

  • Tonight, we strike Tonight, we strike

  • (VOCALIZING)

  • So before this new Guard is ready

  • To defend the Pride Lands from harm

  • We'll make them all feel unsteady

  • We'll give them cause for alarm

  • Tonight, we strike Tonight, we strike

  • No one's safe So the time is right

  • The Circle of Life's gonna feel our bite

  • Tonight, we strike Tonight, we strike

  • (LAUGHING)

  • All right, fellas, bring it in.

  • Here's the plan.

  • While the animals are in their slumber

  • We'll be creeping beneath

  • And just like a roaring thunder

  • We will wake them up with our teeth

  • Tonight, we strike Tonight, we strike

  • No one's safe So the time is right

  • The Circle of Life's gonna feel our bite

  • Tonight, we strike Tonight, we strike

  • Tonight, we strike

  • Tonight, we strike!

  • No one's safe So the time is right

  • Nobody is safe!

  • (LAUGHING)

  • Tonight, we strike Tonight, we strike

  • The Circle of Life's gonna feel our bite

  • Tonight, we strike Tonight, we strike

  • Outlanders, arise and follow me!

  • The Pride Lands will never know what bit them!

  • (LAUGHING MANIACALLY)

  • Target in sight...

  • Dive!

  • Hey, Ono!

  • (GRUNTS) Whoa!

  • Oh. Hi, Kion.

  • Good to see you.

  • You see just about everything, Ono.

  • That's why I want to talk.

  • ALL: (CHANTING) Beshte! Beshte! Beshte!

  • Hey, everybody! Who wants a water slide?

  • Ooh, yeah!

  • Me, me!

  • Do it, Beshte!

  • Poa. One water slide, coming up!

  • (SPEAKING LOCAL LANGUAGE)

  • (GRUNTS)

  • ALL: Yay!

  • Yeah!

  • (LAUGHS)

  • Strongest?

  • (BLOWS RASPBERRIES) Strongest.

  • Also wettest...

  • Aah!

  • Ono!

  • Fuli! Wait! Kion wants to talk!

  • Not now, Bunga. I gotta run.

  • What? Why?

  • (PANTING) That's why.

  • (SCREECHING)

  • Oh...

  • I see Fuli's a bit occupied.

  • Even I can see that, Ono. But I have an idea...

  • Whoo!

  • Huwezi!

  • You can't catch me!

  • Fuli! This way!

  • Fuli! Jump!

  • Beshte! Now!

  • Nice save, Beshte.

  • (PANTING) Totally. Thanks.

  • And as for you guys, I said I'm sorry!

  • I wasn't trying to be mean when I said you look funny when you scratch your heads.

  • Apology accepted...

  • (ALL GROAN)

  • Hey, guys. Thanks for meeting with me.

  • I wanted to talk to you because...

  • Well, I need your help.

  • What's the kerbubble, Kion?

  • The five of us are the Pride Lands' fiercest,

  • bravest, strongest, fastest and keenest of sight.

  • And that's why I want you all to join the new Lion Guard.

  • Together, we'll protect the Pride Lands and defend the Circle of Life.

  • (WHISTLES)

  • Well, lick my tail and call me a meerkat!

  • Hey! My uncle's a meerkat!

  • No offense, Bunga...

  • Wait! Aren't you a honey badger?

  • A Lion Guard?

  • Figures.

  • Always the lions lording over the Pride Lands.

  • I suppose Simba put you in charge of this little team, Kion?

  • You bet your spots he did!

  • Fuli, the Lion Guard needs you.

  • You're the Pride Lands' fastest.

  • You got that right.

  • And you're supposed to be the fiercest?

  • Well, he is a lion...

  • And lions are fierce.

  • It's kinda common knowledge, really...

  • Show 'em the Roar, Kion. Show 'em the Roar!

  • What's Bunga talking about? The Roar?

  • You think you're somethin' special just 'cause you can roar?

  • Wait 'till you hear it. C'mon, Kion.

  • Show 'em the Roar!

  • So what is the deal with your roar?

  • Oh, you totally have to show us, Kion.

  • Seeing is believing!

  • Though with a roar, it's more about hearing...

  • Okay, fine. I'll show you the Roar.

  • Just, uh, stay behind me.

  • I don't want anybody to get hurt.

  • 'Scuse me.

  • Watch it!

  • Pfft. Groundlings...

  • Ready?

  • Okay. This is the Roar...

  • (TINY SQUEAK)

  • What in the Pride Lands...

  • That was... Different.

  • (LAUGHS) Kion!

  • You call that a roar? (CHUCKLES)

  • Didn't sound like a roar.

  • That wasn't the Roar! That was a squeak!

  • I've found him, Your Highness!

  • Kion is over here!

  • See, Dad? What did I tell you?

  • Thank you, Kiara.

  • You and Tiifu go ahead and track the gazelle.

  • I need to talk to Kion. Alone.

  • Yes, Dad.

  • Thank you, princess.

  • Dad! Am I glad to see you!

  • I'm not sure why, but when I tried to...

  • Kion, Kiara tells me you've asked Bunga to join the Lion Guard.

  • Hey...

  • Is this true?

  • Well, yeah.

  • I was just talking to all my friends about it.

  • Your friends?

  • Kion, I asked you to assemble the new Lion Guard.

  • Instead you're just playing with your friends?

  • I'm not playing, Dad.

  • My friends are the new Lion Guard.

  • Fuli is the fastest.

  • Beshte is the strongest.

  • Ono is the keenest of sight.

  • And the bravest, it's Bunga.

  • Kion, the Lion Guard has always been made of lions.

  • Do you really think a Lion Guard with only one lion

  • can protect the Pride Lands?

  • Well, actually...

  • Son, listen.

  • The Lion Guard isn't a game you play with your friends.

  • It's real.

  • The Circle of Life, and your life,

  • will depend on who's on your team.

  • Please, Kion. There are plenty of good lions for the Guard.

  • I need you to take your new responsibility seriously.

  • Just as seriously as Kiara takes hers.

  • But I do take it seriously...

  • Kion...

  • Lil' B, I think Kion needs some time to himself.

  • KIARA: Be sure to stay low while we're tracking the herd.

  • And we need stay downwind, so they don't catch our scent.

  • That's why it's important to watch how the grass moves.

  • Are we going to attack them?

  • No. My dad says we should only take what the pride needs,

  • to keep the Circle of Life in balance.

  • If we took down gazelles just to learn how to do it,

  • pretty soon there wouldn't be any left.

  • Then we'd be as bad as the hyenas.

  • (GASPS)

  • What's Mzingo doing up there?

  • Vultures only circle like that when they're expecting to eat.

  • Kiara, look!

  • KIARA: Hyenas. And Janja's leading them.

  • TIIFU: There's so many of them!

  • Yeah. And with Mzingo circling over the gazelles,

  • I have a feeling they're up to no good.

  • What are we going to do?

  • Go find my dad and tell him Janja and his clan are here.

  • I'll stay here and keep watch.

  • Okay, Kiara. Be careful!

  • Dad wanted the best for the Lion Guard.

  • And I found them.

  • But now, maybe the best isn't good enough?

  • I just don't understand.

  • Why?

  • Why even trust me at all?

  • They say the Guard is my call

  • But then come tell me I'm wrong

  • Now what What should I do?

  • And who Who do I turn to?

  • Now everything feels so upside down

  • Deep down, maybe I knew

  • It was way too good to be true

  • With all my friends looking up to me

  • Some leader I turned out to be

  • Kion...

  • Heyvi kabisa... Are you...

  • Yes, Kion. I am your grandfather.

  • Mufasa.

  • I've heard a lot about you.

  • And I've been watching you.

  • You are about to embark on a great journey, Kion,

  • leader of the Lion Guard!

  • I'm not sure Dad's gonna let me lead the Lion Guard.

  • He's worried that I can't handle it.

  • Kion.

  • Simba is worried.

  • But he's worried because he loves you.

  • Being leader of the Lion Guard will not always be easy.

  • Then maybe Dad's right.

  • Maybe I'm not ready to lead.

  • Or use the Roar.

  • I'm not even sure I can control it!

  • First it's super loud. Then it's just a squeak.

  • And I...

  • I don't want to end up like Scar.

  • Don't be afraid, Kion.

  • Trust your instincts.

  • The Roar will be there for you when you need it.

  • And so will I.

  • Until the Pride Lands' end...

  • Grandfather Mufasa. Don't go yet.

  • Trust my instincts.

  • The Roar will be there when I need it.

  • Maybe my journey is far from done

  • They need a leader and I'm the one

  • So now it's time for them all to see

  • The Lion I was born to be

  • It is time

  • To take the lead on my own

  • It is time

  • For something bigger Than I've ever known

  • No need to wonder The choice is done

  • Now I believe I'm truly am the one

  • So is it time?

  • Is it time?

  • Yes.

  • It is time

  • Kion! Kion! Janja! The hyenas!

  • They're attacking the gazelles!

  • What? Oh, no!

  • (HYENAS LAUGHING)

  • Mzingo's telling the hyenas which one to target next.

  • Smart, in a devious sort of way.

  • I don't get it.

  • They've already scored a couple gazelles.

  • That should be plenty for all of them.

  • Yeah. Why are they still attacking?

  • Janja and his clan will keep going until the whole herd is dead.

  • What?

  • No...

  • Don't they understand the Circle of Life?

  • They don't care about the Circle of Life.

  • They're not hunting for food.

  • They want to throw the Pride Lands into chaos.

  • And it's up to the Lion Guard to stop them!

  • The Lion Guard?

  • You mean us?

  • What about what Simba said?

  • So what if we're not all lions?

  • I know we're the Pride Lands' fiercest, bravest,

  • fastest, strongest, and keenest of sight!

  • That's true.

  • Of course, we are.

  • I guess?

  • Yeah! Let's go get those stinkin' hyenas!

  • Hold it, Bunga. This isn't a game.

  • We need a plan to take on the hyenas.

  • And I think I have one.

  • That is, if the rest of you are ready to join the Lion Guard.

  • I'm in.

  • Ditto.

  • Lay it on us, Kion.

  • Bunga...

  • (ROAR)

  • You are the bravest!

  • Fuli.

  • (ROAR)

  • You are the fastest.

  • Ono.

  • (ROAR)

  • You are the keenest of sight.

  • Beshte.

  • (ROAR)

  • You are the strongest.

  • We are the Lion Guard.

  • And here's what we're going to do...

  • (SIGHS) What's taking Tiifu so long?

  • Dad needs to stop this!

  • What?

  • Till the Pride Lands' end, Lion Guard defend!

  • (ROAR)

  • Zuka Zama!

  • (HYENA EXCLAIMS)

  • What about... Aagh!

  • Looking for something, feather neck?

  • Ooooh.

  • Huwezi! Nowhere to run that I can't run faster!

  • (SURPRISED SHOUTS)

  • (GROWLING)

  • See what I mean?

  • (EXCLAIMING)

  • (FULI CHUCKLING)

  • That's right! Keep going!

  • Comin' thru!

  • And, Beshte! Now!

  • Outta the way!

  • Twende Kiboko!

  • (LOUD CRASH)

  • Simba, Nala, look!

  • (HYENAS YELPING)

  • RAFIKI: Kion's Lion Guard! (LAUGHS)

  • They have Janja and the hyenas on the run!

  • That's our boy!

  • But the herd!

  • TIIFU: It's charging right towards Kiara!

  • Oh no!

  • Kiara!

  • Agh! Help!

  • Kion! Kiara's hurt!

  • Okay. We need to get to her fast.

  • I'm the fastest there is. But what do I do once I'm there?

  • Just get me close! I'll take it from there.

  • Bunga?

  • Don't worry, Kion.

  • This time, yours truly has a plan!

  • Okay. Hurry.

  • This way!

  • Zuka Zamaaaaaa!

  • Kiara's trapped behind that rock.

  • Uhh, I can't get any closer.

  • Then this is where I get off!

  • Hang on, Kiara!

  • Whoo! Ha ha!

  • Aaah!

  • Zuka Zamaaaaaa!

  • Bunga? Have you lost your mind?

  • Never had one, Kiara!

  • Now, if you don't mind.

  • Scram ya, goofy gazelles!

  • Take this!

  • (HISSING)

  • Uncle Pumbaa taught me that one.

  • (COUGHS) Thanks, Bunga.

  • You might be stinky, but you sure are brave.

  • Kion! Bunga and Fuli did it!

  • Kiara's safe!

  • Great! Have them regroup with us at the edge of the field.

  • It's time to give Janja and his hyenas

  • something to remember.

  • Mom! Dad!

  • Kiara!

  • You're safe.

  • I might not be if it weren't for Kion and his friends.

  • I guess he knew what he was doing when he picked them.

  • He did, didn't he?

  • Look! Look!

  • Well, if it isn't Kion the lion cub.

  • You and your friends better leave now,

  • before you get hurt.

  • We're the Lion Guard, Janja.

  • We defend the Circle of Life.

  • You and your kind are not welcome in the Pride Lands.

  • Ever!

  • (ROARS LOUDLY)

  • (HYENAS SHOUTING)

  • Zuka Zama! Now that's the Roar!

  • Oh!

  • Did you hear that?

  • Kion.

  • Whoa.

  • (YELPING)

  • You win today, Kion.

  • Next time won't be so easy.

  • See, Simba? You see?

  • He is ready! It is time!

  • Simba?

  • Yes.

  • Kion is ready.

  • It is time.

  • SIMBA: Time for the Lion Guard.

  • Look out, Here comes the Lion Guard

Janja, I'm hungry!
