Our Thoughts

When “The Lion Guard” first came out I was more excited than the kids. “The Lion King” was one of my favorites growing up and watching my children fall in love with a spin off was amazing. Since the episodes teach great life lessons (not judging, family togetherness, accepting differences, I feel really good about letting my children watch. Furthermore, they are lots of fun to watch…win win for everyone! My children love the characters and their adventures. I love these new adventures as much as I loved the original!

The DVD comes with a fun necklace for your child as well. They can be a part of their own Lion Guard and help save the Pride Land with their favorite characters! Grab yours where ever DVDs are sold or order today on Amazon!
