The Lion Guard - Season 1

Kion, prince of The Pride Lands realizes that he is the next leader of The Lion Guard. Tradition says the second born of the reigning king will be the leader of The Lion Guard. Simba asks Kion to assemble the bravest, fastest, strongest, and keenest of sight in The Pride Lands to become members, though fails to mention that only lions can join. When Kion takes his friends Bunga, a honey badger; Fuli, a cheetah; Beshte, a hippopotamus; and Ono, an egret; as the new Lion Guard, Simba assumes Kion is treating his role as a game, and turns down his recruitment. Kion at first regrets being chosen, until the spirit of Mufasa appears to encourage him. During a hyena attack on a gazelle herd, Kion's sister Kiara is stuck in a stampede. The Lion Guard drives off the hyenas and rescues Kiara. Having proven their mettle to Simba, he accepts them as the Lion Guard.
