And this Christmas Special confuses us who are older enough to know scientific facts of nature, but such a trip would actually excite the kids, so even if a long trip for the cubs there's no real need to stop this episode.

She's in some Timon and Pumbaa episodes and that's not the only TV show Shenzi and her sons have been in, so I'd guess Shenzi is probably the answer to who is the faniliar Villain. Plus the lions of the Llion King cast do speak enough about spirit and costum to show knowledge of family history and that would include knowing if some relatives went up to Asia. In religion Asia honors the lions. Greece India, China, Africa, and a few other states this even includes Japan's lion faced Unicorn, so even if  lions didn't live  eveywhere in Asia before being endangered the lions were worshipped quite widely. I'm quite sure Kion would be interested in how his higher up cousins lived in the past, as well as glad to learn the reputation of lions because such lessons would help Kion with decsions of his own future whtether focusing on safety or listening to his conscience while trying to show his courage.

It's music needs to fit the holiday by spirit if not by rhythm and the regular music style. I'd let the songs be Kion singing the pleasure of his lessons, and grattitude of what heros in his family did in the past, as well lyrics of expressing how much he finally trusts himself. Timon singing a friendship song, and the Asian spcecies saying why they love their home happily like when the  lost gorillas sang with the Lion Guard as they all played in the snow. These Asian and African Species could even do a song altogether singing like the Trolls do when their dancing saying I Can't Stop The Feeling at the end of the Trolls animate movie this cast could sing happily about finding their way back home quicker than they all thought they as well as let there be the lyrics of saying thank you to each other.
