The Lion Guard on Disney Junior

Did you get to watch The Lion Guard with your kids when it premiered last June 20 on Disney Junior? 

If so, then you must also know the answer to the question: 

Who is in charge of Pride Rock now? 

For those who joined my contest on my social media accounts, and answered: 

 Kiara 

You got it right! 

I am announcing the three winners I’ve chosen to get special prizes from Disney Junior and The Lion Guard Asia soon, so watch this space. I’ll then message the winners separately to get your contact details and delivery address.

I guess this is just one of the perks of watching the cartoon series no? Not to mention, it’s quite a fun watch, especially if you are a long time fan of The Lion King as a kid. 

I’m sharing with you some of the fun facts about The Lion Guard: 

1. Timon and Pumba are now considered as elders, wise ones who offer advice to the new Lion Guard. Imagine that! So mature! 

2. Kion possees the Roar of the Elders, magical gift that causes the lion spirits of The Pride Lands past to roar with him. This gift is traditionally given to the second-born, with the last owner being Scar, who sadly used it for evil and lost the gift. 

3. The series is meant to impart positive lessons, like team work – where The Lion Giard combine their unique skills for the benefit of the community and acceptance in diversity. 

4. The Education and Science experts at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park served as consultants for the animal characters, making them as close to real life as possible. 

5. As with the now classic The Lion King, each episode of the cartoon series contains original songs our kids would love listening to and singing along. 

Catch The Lion Guard on Disney Junior at 8.30am (Jakarta/Thailand), 9.30am (Malaysia/Philippines).

Dream Big and Animate Your Imagination at Disney Junior

What if you could tell your child she can watch her own original story on TV? Wouldn’t that be the stuff childhood dreams are made of? 

Imagine your budding writer being able to say, “I wrote that cartoon!” It’s the sort of confidence building exercise that could possible pave the way to a lifetime of dreaming big and doing it. Seriously. 

Case in point: Disney Junior’s Animate Your Imagination Contest! 

Animate Your Imagination is open to all kids, age 2 to 7 years old. Disney will select 3 of the most creative and magical stories and will have their artists bring them to life as animations, to be shown on Disney Junior! 

I got Berry to sit down and start thinking of a story, and knowing her, of course it’s centered around princesses. We’ve decided to tell her story via a drawing, but you may opt to have your kid narrate it via video too! 

Just make sure to choose one of three themes - Pirate, Princess or Space, and the story can get as fantastical as it can get.

Can you guess what Berry’s story is all about? Maybe we’ll get to watch it on Disney Junior, alongside your kid’s story too! Make sure to submit by June 12, 2016!
