I feel more comfortable putting my reviews on individual threads, so here’s my review of Friends to the End.

Pros

 * Kion agreeing to race with Bunga.
 * I love how Kion didn’t sound really mad at Bunga when he made them trip.
 * Bunga talking about Rafiki.
 * Beshte and Makini talking about the friendly animals at the Tree of Life.
 * I really loved the song. The flashbacks were great. It was wonderful to see Kinyonga.
 * Anga and Makini are really amazing.
 * Fuli’s continued instance that Kion wasn’t turning evil.
 * Fuli trying to calm Kion down.
 * I love how Ono turned to Fuli for assurance that they were still going to the Tree of Life. Fuli comforting Ono was really really sweet.
 * Anga trying to help Kion was really sweet.
 * The ending was really sweet. I love how Kion apologized to Beshte.

Cons

 * The peacocks were really annoying. I don’t blame Kion for getting angry.
 * Bunga is Kion’s best friend, he never should’ve doubted him.
 * Kion really could’ve been more patient with his friends, especially Beshte.
 * Kion’s horrified expression when he saw Scar’s reflection was really heart-wrenching.
 * Kion should’ve known that Mufasa loves him, and would always be there for him.
 * Missed opportunity for a group hug at the end.
