Episode 6 - The Kupatana Celebration

[s-tlk]

So what do you think about the most recent episode?

In preparation of the "Kupatana" celebration, a kind of Christmas in the pride lands, Simba allowed Kion and his Lion Guard to rescue a small jackal pup in the outlands from the hyenas. What they didn't know so far was that this lion pup has quite a large family that all also settle there. With a friendly smile they tried to hide their dark purpose of stealing the food supplies of all the other animals. When they are caught it was a "misunderstanding" and it is Kupatana after all. In the end Simba and the Lion Guard banished the jackals from the pride lands.

This episodes has really a lot of actual political relevance. Some might think that the end is not desirable, but I think it shows that each action should have a clear consequence and subsequently send the right message. Beside I enjoyed this episode very much, the songs were great (unfortunately, the Kupatana chorus is not on the TLC soundtrack) but "Jackal Style" is. Simba takes action and let not Kion decide all the hard decision. Mufasa was not 'summoned' and some scenes makes me really laughing. :-)
