Abstract
ABSTRACT In this essay, we analyze the animated television series The Lion Guard, which aired on Disney Junior, and illustrate how the text functions in progressive, counter-hegemonic ways. The text, we demonstrate, consistently stages queer and feminist politics through its character depictions, plot developments, and situational dialogue. Through progressive pedagogy, we argue, The Lion Guard invites the viewers to model a mode of citizenship that is inclusive in temperament, cooperative in practice, and sensitive to social justice.
