How do you figure Kion and Tigress have similar beginnings? She’s an orphan and he’s the son of a king. I’m honestly curious.
It would be a somewhat bizarre dynamic; The Lion Guard animals only talk, whereas the Kung Fu Panda ones display varying levels of anthropomorphism. Might be interesting if it was an interdimensional type thing, with the Night Pride becoming more anthropomorphic in China and the Kung fu masters becoming less so in the Lion King world.
Also could totally get behind some scenes with Oogway, Rafiki, Shifu, and Mufasa.
