The Pride Lands.

Ruling it is a big responsibility, Kiara.

And someday, when you're Queen...

KION: Heads up! Incoming!

(GRUNTS)

Kion!

Oh! (CHUCKLES) Sorry, Dad.

Me and Bunga were playing Baobab Ball...

And Kion couldn't handle the pass!

What? A giraffe couldn't handle it.

You kicked it over my head!

Kion!

And you couldn't handle it!

Bunga...

Yeah? Try to handle this!

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(SIGHS)

Boys!

Whoa!

Kion, I need to talk to your sister.

She'll be tracking gazelles with her friends today.

(CHUCKLES) Because I'm training to be...

Queen of the Pride Lands. Yeah, yeah.

I know all about it, Kiara.

(SCOFFS) Least I have my life figured out.

What are you gonna grow up to be, little brother?

Happy?

All right, you two, that's enough.

Kion, why don't you and Bunga go play somewhere else?

BUNGA: Yeah! I know the perfect place!

Hey, Kion!

(IN SING-SONG VOICE) You'll never get the baobab fruit, no.

(CONTINUES SINGING)

Ha! You got nowhere to go, Bunga!

Says you!

Zuka Zama!

(LAUGHS)

Catch me if you can, Kion!

Game on, Bunga!

Later, Dad. Have fun tracking those gazelle, Kiara.

I gotta get Bunga!

(SIGHS) I can't believe we're related.

Kion will grow up someday. I hope.

Got it! Whoa...

Aww. It rolled into the Outlands.

Game over.

Says who? I'm not afraid of the Outlands.

Neither am I! It's just... My dad!

He says we shouldn't...

Oh! Puh-leeze!

Simba's a big ol' scaredy cat when it comes to the Outlands.

You know what my uncles always say!

Hakuna matata.

Whoa! Huh?

Bunga? (SCOFFS) You look a little stuck.

You kidding? It's just a tree branch.

Uh...

Zuka Zama!

(GRUNTS)

Now where did that baobab fruit go?

(GROWLING)

Oh! 'Fraid there's no meat left for you boys.

(WHINING)

Janja, Janja! A baobab fruit!

Let's eat it! I'm starvelated!

What do you take me for, a vegetarian?

I want something nice and meaty for lunch!

Something...

Huh? Where'd it go...

(LAUGHING)

What? What's so funny?

What are you laughing at? Tell me!

Stuff it, fur brains! Look...

A honey badger.

(SLURPS)

Now that's my idea of a delightful lunch!

(GROWLING)

Chungu! Cheezi! Bring him to me!

(HYENAS LAUGHING)

Here we go!

Heyvi kabisa.

Bunga! Heads up!

Relax, Kion. Remember?

Hakuna...

(SNARLING)

Matata.

Get outta there, Bunga!

Okay, hyena. You wanna see what this honey badger's made of?

I'll show you what I'm made of!

(ALL LAUGHING)

Hey! Lemme go so I can show that other guy what I'm made of!

Hyenas! Put Bunga down!

Pick on somebody your own size!

Kion! You want the honey badger?

Come and get him!

Let him go!

You hyenas don't want any trouble with my dad.

Ooh. Like how you'd get into trouble

if you came into the Outlands?

(LAUGHS)

Uh, Kion?

He's too afraid to come down here.

Yeah! 'Fraidy cat!

BOTH: 'Fraidy cat! 'Fraidy cat! 'Fraidy cat!

All right, yeah. Fun's over.

Janja needs his lunch.

Lunch?

No!

Let him...

(ROARS)

See ya, hyena! Wouldn't wanna be ya!

Heyvi kabisa!

What was that?

Zuka Zama! Kion, how'd you roar like that?

I dunno, Bunga.

Wish I did, though.

Well however you did it, it was un-bunga-lievable!

That was Kion's roar?

(LAUGHS) Yes, Nala, yes!

He is ready! It is time!

Eh, no, Rafiki. He can't possibly be ready. He's still a cub.

Simba, Simba. You heard the Roar!

I heard it. It's just...

It's a big responsibility.

I need more time to prepare him.

I think you've just run out of time, Simba.

You need to tell him.

But, Nala...

Listen to Rafiki, Simba.

Kion is ready. It is time.

KION: Time for what?

Dad? Rafiki? What's going on?

Son, we need to talk...

Oh, no. Dad, we already had that talk.

"Can you feel the love tonight..."

I know all about that mushy stuff!

(LAUGHS) I... Well... (CLEARS THROAT)

It's not that, Kion.

No, no. Most definitely not that.

We have heard your Roar! Yes, yes!

Yeah. It was, uh, kinda different today.

Different? Different you say?

(CHUCKLES)

It is more than different.

It is the Roar of the Elders!

When you use it,

the great lions of the Pride Lands' past roar with you.

What? You mean that's what happened to my roar?

Yeah, lions in the sky! I saw that!

The Roar of the Elders is a great gift, Kion.

It will make you the fiercest animal in the Pride Lands.

But...

But what?

No, no, Simba. It is you who must tell Kion about the Lion Guard.

The Lion Guard? What's that?

This way, Kion.

Uh, okay...

Oh, come on, Rafiki. You already know what it is, don'cha?

Come on, tell me...

Huh?

It's a bunch of vines?

Rafiki?

Whoa!

Look at that!

How did I not know this was here?

Dad, what is this place?

This is the Lion Guard Lair.

It's the secret meeting place for the members of the Lion Guard.

Ugh! Maybe they should think about fixin' the place up.

(COUGHS) Or at least do some dusting...

Hmmm... Yes...

(CHUCKLES)

Ah! That's more like it.

Can you show that trick to my Uncle Timon and Uncle Pumbaa?

(CHUCKLES)

Dad, enough with all the secrecy stuff!

You gotta tell me. What is the Lion Guard?

The Lion Guard is the team that protects the Pride Lands

and defends the Circle of Life.

According to tradition, the Lion Guard is made of the Pride Lands'

fiercest, bravest, fastest, strongest, and keenest of sight.

So what happened to them?

It looks like they haven't been in here since... Forever!

I'm afraid it's a story without a happy ending.

Whoa!

Whoa!

SIMBA: When your grandfather, Mufasa, was about your age,

his younger brother, Scar, was the leader of the Lion Guard.

Scar also had the gift of the Roar.

The Roar made Scar feel powerful.

But that power went to Scar's head.

He began to think that he should be king,

instead of his older brother, Mufasa.

So Scar ordered the Lion Guard to help him take down Mufasa.

When the Guard refused,

Scar was furious.

And then, Scar used the Roar

to destroy the Lion Guard.

What Scar didn't realize

was that by using the Roar for evil,

he would lose the power of the Roar completely.

Heyvi kabisa...

Yeah...

The Roar is a very powerful gift.

It can be used for great good.

But it can also lead to terrible evil.

Well, I'd never be like Scar. Ever!

I'm glad to hear that, son.

Because starting today,

you are the leader of the new Lion Guard.

I'm the what?

You heard Simba. Ha-ha!

The leader of the new Lion Guard! It is you!

Yes! It. Is. You!

Dad?

It's true, Kion.

Wow... Amazing!

It is. And now, as leader of the Guard,

I need you to assemble the Pride Lands' bravest,

fastest, strongest, and keenest of sight.

Okay, Dad. Got it!

Don't worry. I'm gonna make you proud!

Yes, Bunga?

This is un-bunga-lievable!

You see, Simba?

And now Kion will choose the best lions in the Pride for the Guard.

I hope so, Rafiki.

I'm still not sure he's ready...

(BIRDS CAWING)

Wow! Me! Leader of the Lion Guard...

Protectors of the Pride Lands!

It's kinda scary...

Hey, Kion... Kion!

Huh?

Ergh! Bunga!

Ready to start assembling the Lion Guard?

Huh? Now? Yeah? Huh?

Yes! Augh!

Just stop splashing me!

Splashing?

Oh. (CHUCKLES) Sorry, Kion.
