It appears as if "Baboons!" has two plots, meaning one of them has to be the subplot.
Which is the main plot, and which is the subplot? The story where Fuli has to return a certain annoying baby baboon to his mother, or that in which Tiifu and Zuri try to improve Kiara's appearance for the Buffalo Wallow, while she and the boy knights (the rest of the Lion Guard, I mean) try to get the girl cubs off the "island"?
Just Updated
Let me guess, concerning "The Trail to Udugu," the main plot concerns where Kion and Kiara go with their mother to learn a certain bond between them, while the part where Simba substitutes as the leader of the Lion Guard is the subplot, right? Or is it vice-versa?
Then, the same question applies to any episode of the show with more than one plot.
To think Ernie Sabella (the voice of Pumbaa) was born on the day Jeremy Irons (Scar) turned a whole year.
Happy birthday to both of them!
The pop version of "Love Will Find a Way" was released on the day Jonathan Taylor Thomas, the original speaking voice of Young Simba, turned 17? As Beshte would say, "Poa!"
Simba's Pride has 12 and Zira had 12 at the end of the war. (until she died herself) (Nuka was dead long before)
Today, Jonathan Taylor Thomas (the speaking voice of Young Simba in the first movie) is the same age as Niketa Calame-Harris (the speaking voice of Young Nala and the first two computer games) and Eden Riegel (the LG voice of Kiara)... at least until Niketa reaches middle age, and until Riegel does the same.
And enjoy your retirement, Jonathan!
Today is the 39th birthday of the woman who did the voice of Adult Nala in the remake (in which she sang original song "Spirit").
Today is another shared birthday: that of Blair Underwood (Makuu) and Bryana Salaz (Anga).
Alright, we all know the song One of Us...
Except...does it really make sense?
The song is called, “One of Us”, but the whole song is about Kovu NOT being one of them.
Today, may Christian Slater (Ushari), Maia Mitchell (Jasiri), and Max Charles (Kion) have a happy birthday.
And to think while Slater was born on a multi-significance year (1969), Mitchell and Charles were born exactly one decade apart, with Charles being born on Mitchell's 10th birthday!
And in exactly one week will be a double-LG birthday, but I won't say so until then.

Well your film is good what about our lion king articles making it better
Am I the only one who used to skip Mufasa's death every month when I re-watched the lion king as a kid?
The audience was on pins and needles. Everyone was waiting for the MC to announce the winner.
Some guy came on the stage. He held up the microphone to his mouth.
"Aand, ladies and gentlemen, after 10 very agonizing minutes, we announce the winner! The winner of the Yearly Best Brother Killer With Great Hair Award goes to..... LOKI ODINSON!!!!!" He paused for a moment, then added: "..just like in the past 6 years.."
Loki raised his hands and bowed as the crowd cheered. He threw a gloating look at Scar, who was muttering darkly to himself in the corner.
"I honestly don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing," Thor mumbled.
Mufasa patted his brother's head. "Don't be mad, maybe you'll get it next year?"
"Yeah!" said Kion. "Don't be mad!"
Thor came over to console him. "You'll get it next year, Scar!"
"I hate you all," grumbled Scar.
I’ve been wondering if we should get rid of the out of universe template. I don’t think it really adds anything useful, and I’ve had several users express confusion over it; most people believe it is denoting an article as non-canon. Thoughts?

Last night, I recently posted a video concerning something everyone should know at this point.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyLH0YRo00U
So... this just makes things way... way,... way more confusing. I suggest you watch the video first, before coming back here, but the main sum of it - The Lion Guard claims that Zira began training Kovu to be a killer after her encounter with the Lion Guard in Episode 20, and that plan alone was all a Round 2. However, the Simba's Pride film makes clear that Zira started her plan way before that, like, directly after Kovu met Kiara -
Correct me if I am wrong, but this is retroactive continuity at best - The timeline of the fruition of Zira's main plot in the Simba's Pride movie is adjusted in this TV series - Before, it occurred directly after Kovu and Kiara's first encounter, and now, the show alters it by saying it occurred after Zira was defeated by Kion. Either that, or it's a gigantic plot-hole, but I refuse to believe the writers did not watch Simba's Pride enough times to fully get this one little plot-detail that even children would understand. Either they didn't, which...... legitimately makes me pull off the biggest facepalm of 2020, or this was intentional, and seeing as the writers were aware to explain why Kion wasn't in the second film, and that the know about Kovu and Vitani's existence, this HAD to be intentional.
This obviously isn't the first time Disney has done a retcon, and it certainly isn't the only bad one out there {*cough cough Beauty and the Beast midquels *cough cough*} and there certainly are good ones out there, which honestly should not give retcons that bad of a name.
But what they did here in this TV Show with this one retcon of the second film... it just feels wrong, and no, I'm not talking about how Zira is suddenly a polite wimp, or how she was suddenly not living in the termite mounds, tho, that was something else. By claiming that Zira's plans to get Kovu on the throne were all a Round #2, it derails the entire "My Lullaby" sequence and Zira's character - She is a relentless villain, who isn't afraid of doing some killing to get what she wants, and her main trait is ambition. She is an ambitious villain with a goal, and sticks to it until her last breath - Notice the one line "I've dreamed of nothing else for YEARS!!!!", clearly implying that this has been her main mindset for the entire film - In the end, it makes her death, whilst cliche compared to the original script, still impactful as she chooses death {indirectly as she is not shown killing herself first-hand} over abandoning her goals.
And now this TV Show comes in and throws a rotten banana peel into the pot - Coupling with Zira's personality transplant in the show, it also implies that Zira's entire plan was a Round 2, and her main plan was getting Kion on her side and proving superior to hyenas, which, if you tie that into the film, with that line I mentioned above, as well as her entire character arc in that film, it sticks out like a sore thumb -
Remember when Timon says "Boy does she need a hobby," well y'know what? Well now, thanks to TLG, Timon has been proved wrong - Zira does have a hobby. Abandoning her life goals so she can become a lion supremacist who instead of training her son to be a teenage killer, suddenly tells her kids to play nice, and engages with petty waterhole arguments with others xDD.
Either way, R.I.P. Continuity.
So in TLK1/2, Timon and Pumbaa saw baby Simba getting lifted by Rafiki. The very next day, they woke up to Simba singing..
How is that possible?? I don't think even lions grow that fast? Simba was an infant one day and the next he's walking around singing????
Today is both the 20th birthday of Landry Bender and the first anniversary of the special "Battle for the Pride Lands."
Yes, the special had first aired on Bender's 19th birthday.
