Walter Elias “Walt” Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon, and philanthropist. Disney is famous for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century. As the co-founder (with his brother Roy O. Disney) of Walt Disney Productions, Disney became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately U.S. $35 billion.
Disney is particularly noted for being a film producer and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his staff created some of the world's most famous fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, a character for which Disney himself was the original voice. He has been awarded four honorary Academy Awards and has won twenty-two competitive Academy Awards out of fifty-nine nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual. He also won seven Emmy Awards. He is the namesake for Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the United States, as well as the international resorts Tokyo Disney, Disneyland Paris, and Disneyland Hong Kong.
Disney died of lung cancer in Burbank, California, on December 15, 1966. The following year, construction began on Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. His brother Roy Disney inaugurated the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971.
The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) (commonly referred to as Disney) is the largest media and entertainment conglomerate in the world in terms of revenue. Founded on October 16, 1923, by brothers Walt Disney and Roy Disney as the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio, the company was reincorporated as Walt Disney Productions in 1929. Walt Disney Productions established itself as a leader in the American animation industry before diversifying into live-action film production, television, and travel. Taking on its current name in 1986, The Walt Disney Company expanded its existing operations and also started divisions focused upon theatre, radio, publishing, and online media. In addition, it has created new divisions of the company in order to market more mature content than it typically associates with its flagship family-oriented brands.
The company is best known for the products of its film studio, the Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group, today one of the largest and best-known studios in Hollywood. Disney also owns and operates the ABC broadcast television network; cable television networks such as Disney Channel, ESPN, and ABC Family; publishing, merchandising, and theatre divisions; and owns and licenses 11 theme parks around the world. On January 23, 2006, it was announced that Disney would purchase Pixar in an all-stock transaction worth $7.4 billion. The deal was finalized on May 5. On December 31, 2009, Disney Company acquired the Marvel Entertainment, Inc. for $4.24 billion. The company has been a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average since May 6, 1991. An early and well-known cartoon creation of the company, Mickey Mouse, is the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company.

I haven't followed the Further Adventures of The Lion King, so these characters are mostly new to me. Go easy. :-p
That said, has *anything* ever been said about the Lion Guard? Or the Roar of the Elders? It all seems very new-idea-that-would-have-heavily-influenced-earlier-installments-except-we-only-just-now-thought-of-it. Because seriously - a former cadre of bodyguards with Scar as their leader? Using a mystical roar to disband them and *nobody* in the first movie knew about it? Or questioned where they were?
Also, there was a throwaway line about the Guard always being made up of lions, and not a game for Kion and his animal friends (what's a kids' book without a little racism?), but the gang saves the day anyway, and....nothing. No "oh, it's all okay now," or "your friends really proved themselves." It's just left hanging, and we're meant to assume the friends get to stay?
Weird.

I liked it a lot
From my 6-year-old:
It was exciting. I liked how The Roar was big, with a lot of exclamation points. My favorite character is Kion.

Good but text needs fixing
Enjoyed reading the story to my son who also seemed to like it very much. The problem is that the text was missing letters on occasion, forcing me to guess at the word from context. If that gets fixed, the ebook was otherwise very enjoyable.

decent read with my 5 yo daughter
This picture book was fun and engaging. I recommended for a quick bedtime read. It's a fresh new take on the modern descendant of Simba and Mufasa.

The letters Th Missing
The words Th are missing throughout the book, such as the words “The” and “They.” Otherwise my daughters like the book and would rate a 5

Intriguing!
My boys loved this short story. Perfect for their little hearts and souls. The story explains bravery and human emotions about doubt that go along with it.

Pretty much nothing happens. I guess the point was to introduce the characters. If only there was a story too.
