Kinda surprised no thread was made for the new episode.

I have to say, there was just somthing really special about this episode and it's "family" theme. Just to see all the characters interacting was really cool, and it's always awesome to see more of Simba/Nala/Kiara.

The interaction between Bunga and Simba was top notch. Just hilarious. Simba made Bunga learn to slow down and think things through while Bunga taught Simba to be more humble and approachable. He is Simba first and King second. And that ending twist where they realize that they are, in a way, adopted brothers, was just so sweet and eye opening.

The truly interesting thing about this episode is that while Hakuna Matata was teased throughout the show, and the chorus was performed in the end, this is the first episode to not include a full-on musical number. I think it is ALSO the first episode to not feature Janja and his cronies.
