I really enjoyed this episode! Nice to see the hyenas back. I liked the way the lesson was taught not by the Guard, but by Janja, the main villain in the series. Cheezi and Chungu were highly amusing- especially Chungu's twenty-second lament. The line regarding Janja being the only family they knew was intriguing, though. . . and quite sad. Nne and Tano were interesting characters, it was surprising to find that Janja's clan aren't all foolish.

As far as flaws go, I agree that some parts were a little slow. For that reason, I wish the song could have been longer. They could have cut a few parts short in order to fit a longer song, or perhaps just a second song, such as one sung by Janja, Nne, and Tano. And though it was nice to see Twiga receive some more lines, did anyone else feel that her voice acting did not sound authentic at all? She sounded to me like she was speaking to a young child. Additionally, Kion's Roars felt excessive. I don't mind twice in one movie special, but I'm not too keen on twice in one episode, especially because the first Roar felt really unnecessary. Finally, I was a little irked by Ono's line about hyenas being scavengers- while not entirely false, it's not exactly true, either. But all of this is just a bunch of nit-picking. The episode was very cute.
