|A sequel TV series based on conservative animated Disney movie, ''[[The Lion King]]''.  ''The Lion Guard'' tells of the adventures of Simba and Nala's son Kion, as he carries out his duty as leader of the Lion Guard, tasked to protect the Pride lands and preserve the Circle of Life.  The series is pro-family, as shown with most of the Lion Guard. Kion's parents - King Simba and Queen Nala, protagonists from the film - are responsible rulers, Timon and Pumbaa adopt Bunga the honey badger as their nephew and treat him well, and Beshte the hippo looks up to his father and is shown to be as smart and friendly as he; the Guard even considers Fuli the cheetah as part of their family as well.  Poaching is shown in a negative light, with animals like pre-reformed Janja the hyena and the jackals actively disregarding the Circle of Life so that they can hunt everything in sight.  Redemption is also portrayed well, with animals like the aforementioned Janja and the crocodile Makuu reforming from their villainous ways to cooperate with their fellow animals.

Kion's parents - King Simba and Queen Nala, protagonists from the film - are responsible rulers and help Kion out sometimes (one episode has Nala giving Kion and his sister Kiara a challenge to prove their bond as siblings), Timon and Pumbaa adopt Bunga the honey badger as their nephew and treat him well, and Beshte the hippo looks up to his father and is shown to be as smart and friendly as he. The Guard even considers Fuli the cheetah as part of their family as well even when she's a solitary animal.  Poaching is shown in a negative light, with animals like pre-reformed Janja the hyena and the jackals actively disregarding the Circle of Life so that they can hunt everything in sight.  Redemption is also portrayed well, with animals like the aforementioned Janja and the crocodile Makuu reforming from their villainous ways to cooperate with their fellow animals.

|This work by Jim Henson of ''Muppets'' fame tells of a family of dinosaurs named the Sinclairs adjusting to suburban life after millions of years of wild living. There are Earl the father (a stubborn and bumbling ''Megalosaurus'' who works as a "tree-pusher"), Fran the mother (a down-to-earth ''Allosaurus'' who is a housewife), Robbie the son (a teenager who often questions the way dinosaurs do things like eating meat and howling at the moon), Charlene the daughter (a typical teenage girl), and the Baby (a fully-talking and rambunctious baby dinosaur who often calls Earl "Not the Mama!").

There is even Fran's elderly mother Ethyl, who dislikes Earl.

The show may have a lot of liberal subjects, but there are also some conservative moments as well. Earl tries his best to act as the father of the household in spite of his bumbling ways, while Fran makes sure to keep the house running from the homestead. There are times when Robbie and Earl clash over ideas (like Robbie wanting to be a vegetarian instead of a carnivore), but they make up at the end of the day and support each other. At his tree-pushing job, Earl works under the supervision of his boss B.P. Richfield, a ''Styracosaurus'' and the tyrannical and greedy owner of the WESAYSO Corporation. Friendship is even upheld in "The Howling", where Robbie helps repair the friendship between Earl and his co-worker Roy (a ''Tyrannosaurus Rex'') by getting them to howl so that they can get rid of their aggression; in that same episode, Roy even gives Robbie a pencil box as a present - the same pencil box that his father had given to him on his Howling Day - because he wanted to pass it on to someone in spite of not having kids of his own, thus he sees Robbie and the other Sinclairs as family. Another episode called "Earl and Pearl" ends with Earl reconciling with his country music-playing sister Pearl, even singing "Leaves and Trees" together at the end of the episode. Drug use is even condemned in a few episodes. One called "Steroids to Heaven" has Robbie eating little spiked creatures called Thornoids to impress a girl, to which his ''Polacanthus'' friend Spike - himself being a delinquent - calls him out for using the Thornoids and being aggressive as a result, trapping him with his newly-grown spikes to wait until the effect wears off. The second called "A New Leaf" involves a plant that makes dinosaurs deliriously happy; Robbie even ends the episode by giving a speech warning against the use of drugs as well as humorously warning against the dangers of preachy anti-drug episodes.

In spite of these conservative moments, the show touches a lot of liberal subjects, from gender confusion to feminism. An episode even has a scenario resembling people coming out as homosexuals, only that Robbie wants to be more herbivore than carnivore and eat more vegetables, which Earl sees as going against the "natural order" (the food chain). Another episode features an in-show TV show about a dinosaur admitting that he's a "cross-eater" and says that he feels like a carnivore in an herbivore's body, which seems to be a metaphor for being transgender or a cross-dresser. The biggest subject the characters discuss throughout the series is environmentalism, from leaving forests intact to avoiding the eradication of endangered species. Sadly at the end of the series, wiping out a certain species of beetle that depends on a certain species of flower leads to the eventual extinction of the dinosaurs, who face certain doom from the resulting Ice Age.
