Squeeee!!! The Lion King story continues . . .

The Lion King is a particularly special story to me since it was the first Valentines Day trip for me and Hubby. He surprised me with a trip to London to see the Theatre Production in the West End and I fell in love with The Lion King (and Hubby – my then boyfriend) there and then!! A few years later I took my Mum to see The Lion King for her 50th Birthday and I have watched The Lion King dvds time and time again with my Beans at home ever since. I can’t wait to be able to take them to see the show in London but in the meantime I’m really excited to hear that the story shall continue with the latest installment: The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar.

The epic storytelling of Disney’s “The Lion King” continues with “The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar,” a television movie event premiering on Disney Junior in the UK in 2016. The movie follows Kion, the second-born cub of Simba and Nala, as he assumes the role of leader of the Lion Guard, a team of animals tasked with preserving the Pride Lands. The movie is a precursor to “The Lion Guard” television series, also premiering in 2016 on Disney Junior in the UK. A special preview of “The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar” will be presented at Disney’s D23 Expo  (https://d23.com/d23-expo/) in Anaheim, California, on SUNDAY, AUGUST 16 (2:00 p.m.).
