Disney villain worship goes too far when hyenas literally resurrect Hitler-cat.
Kion and the Guard take on the ultimate challenge when a ruthless enemy returns to the Pride Lands and threatens the Circle of Life. With the arrival of the Dry Season, tensions run high, patience wears thin and thirsty tempers flare. To make matters worse, Janja's hyenas, aided by Ushari the snake, discover a secret that could bring back the vengeful spirit of the legendary villain, Scar! Now it's up to the Lion Guard and their new friend â Rafiki's young apprentice, Makini to defend the Pride Lands against the toughest foe they've ever faced!

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This TV movie was later split into a five-episode arc for syndication, which is why the pacing feels like whiplash.
Scar's return directly contradicts his original death (eaten by hyenas), proving Disney will resurrect anyone if the toy sales demand it.
