Why Doesn't He Stand Out?[]
- Despite passing the baseline by setting characters on the path they need in order to go save the Pridelands and helping characters directly in The Lion Guard, he still fails the high Lion King Standards too much for Near Pure Good.
- He can be a jerk at times such as hitting Simba with his stick and annoying people with his singing.
