Battle for the Pride Lands Review

Barely got through this without crying, but here’s my review,

Episode

 * THURSTON’s NAME WAS MENTIONED.
 * I love how Simba knows about Jasiri, and is completely fine with her.
 * I love the flashback of living Mufasa and Scar, although I have some issues with Mufasa’s design, but I won’t get into that here.
 * Most of the songs were pretty good. I loved Fuli’s first lyrics in We will Defend.
 * I love how much faith Simba and Mufasa both have in Kion.
 * It was really really sweet of Ono to ask Anga to take his place, and I loved her reaction.
 * Kion finding a new place for Ono on the Guard was really sweet.
 * I loved how Nala said “That’s my boy!”
 * I really love how concerned Simba, Nala, and Kiara were for Kion, and how concerned Anga was for Ono.
 * All the animals (including ones from Season 1) saying goodbye to the Guard was really sweet.
 * Mtoto and Beshte’s goodbye, and Mtoto’s reaction was heartwarming.
 * Kiara and Kion’s goodbye was so sweet.
 * I love how Simba and Nala nuzzled each other while the Guard was preparing to leave.

Character Appearances

 * Makini!!!!!!!!!!
 * Anga!!!!!!!!!!
 * Simba!!!!!!!!!
 * Nala!!!!!!
 * Kiara!!!!!
 * Mufasa!!!!!!!!!!!
 * Hadithi!!!
 * Jasiri!!!!!!!
 * Ma Tembo!!!!!

Cons

 * Mufasa’s living design was terrible. Enough said.
 * It wouldn’t have killed Timon and Pumbaa to say goodbye to their nephew, or Basi to say goodbye to his son.
 * So it took three seasons for Thurston’s name to be mentioned.
