User blog:Potato Flakin/Was Lumba-Lumba's song ever necessary?

Hi guys, Potato here for her first ever blog! Yay.

In this blog, I will discuss whether Lumba-Lumba's song, That's the Dolphin Way was ever needed in Dragon Island.

Dragon Island features the Lion Guard finding the ocean for the first time, and traveling to an island infested with Komodo Dragons. Before they ever meet the latter they meet Lumba-Lumba, who sings -- you guessed it -- Dolphin Way. However, with the theme of the episode, the song feels really out of place. The episode doesn't involve Lumba-Lumba in the storyline that much, just a nice dolphin who gets stuck and has a crush on Beshte.

Why couldn't the song have been sung by the Lion Guard, the old Civet, or from Ora and his Bank? Ora is the primary antagonist of this episode (before he joins Makucha's Army) so why didn't sing something? And the old Civet is really wise and could have given the Lion Guard a song warning (like Domog and the Red Pandas in Ghost of the Mountain). That's the Dolphin Way does not contribute to the plot any (a sign of poor plot writing by Disney imo). We could have learned more about the island and Ora's Bank, but instead get what is a pointless song that doesn't do anything other than to entertain kids with a dancing dolphin.

This concludes my first blog. I hope you enjoy!
