I had a whole other post planned, but It'll have to wait until tomorrow.
Here is a clip released at 2015's D23 Expo this past weekend. A new animated series that premieres this fall on Disney Channel called "The Lion Guard". I understand this might very well be a series on Disney Junior, which impresses me even more, considering the attention to detail it's being given.
I know, I know. But this isn't some campy looking series like that "Gravity Falls" that plays into this crappy trendy animated style that is so popular right now. No. This has a feature animation aesthetic. There is some gorgeous animation and feature quality effects work in play.
We all remember the train wreck that was the direct to video movie about Simba's daughter, Kiara. Well this isn't that. The series follows Simba's second born, his first son, Kion. Don't judge this based on his name. The cast list includes Sarah Hyland (Modern Family), Rob Lowe as Simba, and returning as Pumbaa and Timon, Ernie Sabella and Kevin Schon respectively.
This is beautifully animated. The backgrounds and effects work match the feature quality. The hyenas were redesigned for animation technical reasons, but they look beautiful despite. I can't judge the story quality yet, and I refuse to critique that aspect based on a 3:45 clip. It is eye candy for now.
