Disney Junior Africa April 2016 Highlights

THE LION GUARD
Series premiere
Monday 18th to Tuesday 26th April at 18:30

We have great news for fans of The Lion King, and our spin-off special The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar which premiered last month on Disney Junior on Easter Saturday. April sees the launch of The Lion Guard series, with premiere episodes every day from Monday 18th to Tuesday 26th April at 18:30

In these new adventures, Simba and Nala’s cub Kion is leader of the Lion Guard, a team of animals comprising the Pride Lands’ fiercest, bravest, fastest and strongest and keenest of sight. When he assembled his team, he didn't choose lions to serve with him as tradition dictated, but instead picked friends he believed best exemplified heroic qualities: Bunga, a fearless honey badger; Fuli, a confident cheetah; Beshte, a friendly and good-spirited hippo; and Ono, an intellectual egret. This Lion Guard can achieve anything!

In the first premiere episode of this series, The Rise of Makuu (Monday 18th April at 18:30) Kion is dismayed when upstart Makuu wins the challenge for leadership of the crocodiles. He believes there's more to leadership than just aggression and strength. He’s proved right when Makuu’s aggressive antics threaten the Circle of Life and send the Pride Lands into chaos.

Catch the Disney Junior premiere series The Lion Guard from Monday 18th to Tuesday 26th April at 18:30.
