Today's episode was pretty bland. It was one of those stupid "hero character isn't actually a hero" plots, but its pacing was all wrong the the character in question ended up learning their lesson too suddenly and without much build-up.
On the plus side, there may be two more episodes in season one after all. The next one airs in a month.

Was this show animated in 3D or 2D?
It's flash puppets.
That's putting it bluntly, but yes. Because the computer program does a lot of the heavy lifting for them, the show uses a lot of weird perspective shots that other cartoons seldom use. The characters are often seen from behind, or from above, and while facing different directions. It doesn't always look "right", but it's still neat, considering how often modern cartoons force the characters to be facing the screen.
>It was at this stage in The Lion Guard’s production that things took a slightly different turn. Christian Larocque, animation director at Mercury Filmworks, wanted to find a more fluid way of animating characters in the short amount of time he had available to him. His idea was to “rig” the character in 3D first, which meant creating a digital puppet of each animal character, which the animators could then spin around and see from every angle.
>It was this technique, thought to be the first of its kind, that allowed the team to put the cartoon characters in every conceivable position, whether they were jumping on to rocks or leaping into the air. This allowed them to see how the characters would move in any given situation. “The rig has all the points of articulation; all the joints of the character, the mouth movements, the eye movements,” says Riley. Once the animators had used the 3D rig to work out how each character would look in each position, they could translate that into a 2D model to give the animation that authentic, “handdrawn” look.
>The 3D rigging meant, according to Riley, a lot of work at the “front end of production” – but the result was worth it. “We’ve all been blown away by how successful it’s been,” says Riley. “Everyone loves The Lion King so much, we’ve got to produce a show that tries to approach that level of quality.”
If that technology fell into the wrong hands - or the right hands, depending on your perspective - I wonder what they would be able to do with it.
>Fuli's butt
At least it's not EXTREME EMPHASIS ON PAWS

>That pic
Its just like one of my japanese animes.
She really does look like she's floating here.
...
>Implying this show has any other purpose to exist
I want to have sex with all of the animals on this show.
Do you suppose he watches this show for his waifu?
...
...
Don't fuck the hippo. That's disgusting.
Why not?
Not just his waifu, judging by the way he reacted to cheetarah, it's safe to assume he likes all kinds of characters.
>Today's episode was pretty bland. It was one of those stupid "hero character isn't actually a hero" plots
You're literally watching a show for preschoolers, lad...
He swims in shit water all day.
Someone needs to watch it in order to report on all the cute girl animals. And it sure ain't gonna be me.
So it's created using 3D models filtered down via its artstyle into a 2D image?
Hose him off and then fuck his asshole.
Either that or wobbly bouncy 2d shapes.
>Kion's 'I'm gonna fuck that cheetah' expression
>cute girl animals
No, it's rotoscoped, but with 3D models instead of live-action actors.
Cute boy animals too, I guess.
>Cute boy animals too, I guess.
Bump.
You don't like boys either? What do you want? Dickgirl animals? I don't think that's appropriate for a children's show.
There's always Jasiri.
is this killer7?
What i want id for people like you to go away
Absolutely
I think Sup Forums may not be the right place for you if something like this bothers you so much.
Have you tried Toonzone?
That's more like a prolapsed vagina that can go erect than a penis.
time to hunt!
we need a zebra in that pic!
Bump.
This was definitely made with the porn in mind
Yet the show doesn't have much of a following, if at all. People never quite got over the "preschool" hurdle, even though the show could easily pass as a TV-Y7 show. Their decision to make it a preschool show had more to do with merchandising than anything else.
Last bump.
hind legs for ages
She's a cheetah. Having strong legs is probably implicit.
This is a completely unedited screenshot from the show. Taken out of context, sure, but still unedited. Fuli had a bunch of little animals riding on her back and, later in the episode, said she could still feel them. Bunga checked for her and told her they were gone.
>today's episode was pretty bland
that describes every ep, and I like the show
why would they make a kids show out of one of the darkest Disney entries? They could do so much more with it
They're not all bland. Many of them are, perhaps. There have been a few really good ones.
which ones?
I liked the Kupatana one, as the jackals are generally great villains. The aardwolves one was okay for the same reason. It's probably overstated, but Jasiri's two episodes are also good. Yes, Zira and the outlanders are downplayed a bit, but that's to be expected.
The Imaginary Okapi is worth mentioning for Steve Blum. I'm not sure he voices many animal characters, but he was fun as the leopard. The Trouble With Galagos was okay as well.
...
wincest when?
Whaa? I thought it was a mega-clit with some labia wrapping. It's vaginal cannal prolapse?
So, Paperman?
I like the songs and the fact that female spotted hyenas have a pseudophallus
KIKI MY SAWA
No it's all pseudo 3d unlike actual 3d of paperman with overlayed 2d elements.
Lionguard is made in toonboom harmony and utilizes this kind of tech:
youtube.com
and result
>tweening shit around to try and make it look like traditional animation, except it ends up looking obviously off and wrong
>main character is a deviantart tier OC complete with a fucking cutie mark
this show is such a waste of a good animation studio
If Kion so much as touched her, Tiifu would probably kill him.
this looks like 3d...
Disney released this mini-fig in a blind-bag, listing it as "Battle Fuli". This just screams "battle", doesn't it?
Bump.
Isn't toonboom basically like 3D in 2d or something? I remember someone was making a rick and morty parody in toon boom and he essentially rigged the characters up like they were 3D models.
yep, she is ready for the action
I actually bought one of those. Much smaller than it seems.
The next episode is on March 17th.
>that haircut
what the fuck did they do to the lion king?
The start of his mane. Simba had similar look during the growing up sequence when he was with Timon and Pumbaa
the fanartists grew up and got a job making a Lion King TV show
People look for things to complain about. They don't care about the truth. The fact that the main characters are essentially adolescents instead of little babies is one of the things that I like about the show.
Kion can't be an OC, his colors are too simple and has no accesories
