The Lion Guard: Rafiki's New Neighbours

Next up for the new Lion Guard episodes is this, Rafiki's New Neighbours. Kinda like the last one, I actually kinda forgot about this for a while until earlier today when I suddenly remembered. And so a little while ago I watched it not knowing anything. And, how was it? Pretty good, I guess. Yeah, these last few episodes have just been fine to me. Not bad, but not anything spectacular. And this will have spoilers, so, if you want to watch it and you don't want anything spoiled, go see it and then read this. What's the story? At first, the Lion Guard is trying to put out some fire around a part of the Pride Lands. But then we see Rafiki training Makini to paint like him. But as they're doing that, they're interrupted by some animals who arrive at Rafiki's tree. An elephant, a monkey and an gazelle. They've been thrown out of their herds because they annoy them all the time. And so he tries to get the Guard to get them back to their herds and they manage to, but they keep annoying everyone so they're kicked out again realising that them being by themselves with each other is where they truly belong. Also lightning has hit the ground starting more fire so the Guard try to put them out too with their help while another fire is around Rafiki's tree. So yeah, kind of another usual plot that this show's been using a lot. And this episode reminds me a lot of the episodes Ono the Tickbird and The Lost Gorillas. Whereas, in Ono the Tickbird, this rhino was sorta being annoying and his bird flew off like how here, the animals were being annoying to their herds and they were sorta banished from them sorta and then in the Lost Gorillas, just the way they're acting with always sorta messing around reminds me of the gorillas in that. And here, they sorta do something very similar in a way. But they do it in a way where it's not boring. You're still entertained. There's even an especially funny line from Fuli in the episode when the animals are eating bugs like Bunga and she says that they're like more Bungas. That was pretty funny. But still, the episode itself is just fine as I said. The only part of the episode I do really like is Rafiki and Makini's part with him trying to teach her how to listen to the lions of the past to tell her how to paint. That whole part is actually really nice. Especially the ending to the episode where she does one on Pride Rock of Simba, Nala, Kion and Kiara. That was a good scene in my opinion. And with those scenes and the other good things, that makes this a watchable episode, just not one of the best in my opinion. So yeah, these past few episodes have been okay in my opinion. However, I have a feeling the next one will be a lot better. If you remember from before, the next episode is going to be the Rescue from the Outlands episode, or, something like that. And I am really excited for that. Expect that up soon. For this, check it out if you want. It's not a bore, I suppose.
