The clip uncannily is similar to the basis of the show in which Kion (voiced by Max Charles) leads a group of his animal friends in The Lion Guard. The group consists of Bunga (voiced by Joshua Rush), a blustery honey badger, Ono (Atticus Shaffer), a smarty pants egret, Fuli (Diamond White), a confident cheetah, and Beshte (Dusan Brown), a friendly hippo.

James Earl Jones and Ernie Sabella are reprising their roles of Mufasa and Pumbaa with their voices. While Rob Lowe is the voice of Simba and Gabrielle Union will be the voice of Nala. Kevin Schon will reprise his role of Timon from The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa television series. Here is the clip.
