This is an interesting topic of discussion and I'm sorry to see all the arguing above. Here are my theories, feel free to disagree, but please be respectful:


 * It should have been a Disney channel show, some plot points could've been explored better, besides not having the "show for toddlers" stigma.


 * The scheduling was horrible, inconsistent, adn there was too many long hyatuses followed by burning out too many chapters at once.


 * As much as I love the show, there are many things i'm conflicted about and while I'm a BIG fan, I definitively understand why some people dislikes it:


 * For example, the Circle of Life being the universal and only acceptable good, instead of working with different views, other interpretations, something that would've been great in today's world of intolerance. Besides, the CoL seems to often be imposed by force... which is happening in season 3, in another continent. That has extremely unfortunate implications, and comes a little too close to cultural colonization.


 * No herbivore ever did anything wrong, according to the show (and if they did, they were never truly accounted for it, or the consequences were minimal and promptly reversed.... see Dhahabu and Makucha). Predators were often punished for trying to eat or rightfully defending their territories, or just being there minding their own bussinesses (Ushari being trampled, and the Guard not caring). Yeah, no wonder they all snapped andsided with Scar, who promised them agood life and respect (even if he betrayed them later).
