... not sure whether to laugh or feel pity about that. You can't just mix Marvel stuff with Disney- oh wait, yes they did. Why not call it "The Lion Avenger" if we make the statement more accurate? ... and why no Rafiki spinoff instead?!“It’s kind of like ‘The Lion King’ meets ‘The Avengers,’” says Disney Junior general manager Nancy Kanter

I'm betting Vitani and at least, Kovu will be in it too.
Was it a flash kind of animation or was it straight-up hand-drawn?estefan wrote:I went to an animation festival this weekend and Mercury Filmworks had a booth there and they showed a scene (albeit in mute) from The Lion Guard on the screen and the animation has a smoothness and moves very reminiscently of The Lion King.

It's fake. You see a Tumblr link if you look carefully. And the drawings are not professional-looking at allthedisneyspirit wrote:New poster with new characters in the show:
Good question. Flash is often notorious for giving characters awkward and somewhat mechanical movements when they're animated. Traditional hand-drawn animation has always had character animations that flowed more naturally.DisneyJedi wrote:Was it a flash kind of animation or was it straight-up hand-drawn?estefan wrote:I went to an animation festival this weekend and Mercury Filmworks had a booth there and they showed a scene (albeit in mute) from The Lion Guard on the screen and the animation has a smoothness and moves very reminiscently of The Lion King.

Fish Hooks and 7D was much lazier If you're just referring to Disney's television cartoons, I would argue that the shows they had on the Disney Afternoon were more professional looking than those new Mickey Mouse shorts or something like Kick Buttowski. But like I said, this cartoon so far doesn't look as bad as either of those.thedisneyspirit wrote:As if Disney cartoons have ever been professional looking!
They said it wasn't Flash, but instead uses paper-less hand-drawn animation and Toon Boom to make it look as close to the original film as possible.DisneyJedi wrote:Was it a flash kind of animation or was it straight-up hand-drawn?estefan wrote:I went to an animation festival this weekend and Mercury Filmworks had a booth there and they showed a scene (albeit in mute) from The Lion Guard on the screen and the animation has a smoothness and moves very reminiscently of The Lion King.

Well, I guess I can give them credit for that. Paul Rudish isn't even trying with Mickey Mouse.estefan wrote:They said it wasn't Flash, but instead uses paper-less hand-drawn animation and Toon Boom to make it look as close to the original film as possible.DisneyJedi wrote: Was it a flash kind of animation or was it straight-up hand-drawn?

Ive seen some nice things with flash but that quirk it has where sections of the character seem to be gliding across the background in this smooth mechanical way bugs me. Im sure someone really skilled (& with a lot of time & manpower to experiment) can make a great looking film with a style similar to Dalmatians or Sleeping Beauty.They said it wasn't Flash, but instead uses paper-less hand-drawn animation and Toon Boom to make it look as close to the original film as possible.
