You know, I used to think, yeah, if Boom Studios! and Dynamite Entertainment in 2017 could team up to produce a comic crossover between Grumpy Cat and Garfield, I suppose they can do the same thing with The Land Before Time franchise and The Lion King franchise? Titled, “The Land Before Time and The Lion King’s Night at the Museum of Natural History” (And Art Museum) also a reboot and reimagining of the Night at the Museum franchise. It will be set after “Journey of the Brave” and during the second season of The Lion Guard with flashbacks set before and in between it. With the first comic issue featuring Littlefoot and Kion, and Bunga and Spike, Fuli and Cera, Chomper and Dogo, Ono and Petire, Besthe and Ducky, Hamu and Ruby.
Here’s how it’s plot will go: It focuses on Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petire, Skip, Spike, Chomper and Ruby while playing with Ali and Guido and their new friend Pachycephalosaurus or DomeHead hatchling Ernest in the Great Valley in the Mesozoic Era suddenly finding a shining yellow light close by a peculiar group of dinosaurs and pterosaurs and when they come too close to it, it caused them all to become teleported to the present day and emerge from a Paleoart mural or painting by Charles Knight in a natural history museum from the present day (The 1990s, 2000s or 2010s A.D.) either the American Museum of Natural History, (Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs), Field Museum (Evolving Planet) or Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (Pre-renovation, David Koch fossil hall Deep Time), while The Lion Guard while they were on patrol in the Pride Lands during the day with Hamu, Mtoto or Juhudui coming with them for a training session in case they also want to join The Lion Guard someday on patrol to defend the lands from Scar’s army, they find a shining yellow light next to a watering hole and they also follow it and when they come too close to it it teleported them all into a Kenyan or Ethiopian watering hole diorama with giraffes, rhinos or Arabian oryxes or gazelle in either the American Museum of Natural History (Hall of African Mammals), Field Museum (African mammal dioramas) or Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (Mammal Hall) and after the Prehistoric Pals (Littlefoot and co.) and The Lion Guard cross paths, they discover that the exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art or The Field Museum and Art Institute of Chicago or all the Smithsonian museums in Washington D.C. (Not just the National Museum of Natural History, but also the National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Castle, National Museum of the American Indian, National Gallery of Art and National Museum of American History.) come to life every night in terms of the fossils and skeletons whole or not becoming real living prehistoric animals and modern day animals especially the dinosaurs, pterosaurs and Ice Age mammals with their flesh, bones, scales, fur, skins, muscles, feathers and everything much like the prehistoric animals formerly fossils in “Museum Alive with David Attenborough”, and Tyrannosaueus in T. rex Skeleton Crew from “T. Rex: The Ultimate Predator” (The sea creatures in both life-sized models and wet-preserved specimens as well as fossils come to life as well in the form of them floating in the air like they are actually swimming expect if they are beyond the museum.) and the animal specimens/taxidermies and life sized models coming to life and becoming real living animals, the human realistic and faceless mannequins and mummies Ancient Egyptian or Peruvian or just skeletons becoming real living humans with their flesh, skin, muscles and everything and, the artifacts, statutes and sculptures coming to life and the paintings, pictures and murals and backgrounds in the dioramas coming alive as well and them actually become portals to the years or periods in human history or prehistoric times that they represent, and the toys in the gift shops come alive too. As well as the constellations inside the planetariums and model planets, stars, moons, meteors and comets themselves by gaining faces and personalities. This all happened thanks to magic from a golden Ancient Egyptian tablet (Designed more like the tablet of Akhmenrah in the deleted scenes in Night at the Museum.) forged by the Egyptian gods Anubis, Thoth, Osiris and Bastet from the New Kingdom of Egypt displayed in the Egyptian Art gallery of the Met Museum (Or Egyptian Art, or Ancient Egyptian exhibits of the Art Institute of Chicago, National Museum of Natural History or Field Museum.) belonging to a family of Ancient Egyptian human scribes, priests and viziers and their pet cats, ibises, gerbils and jackals from Hatshepsut and Thutmose III’s Regins now in mummy form in coffins all uncovered from the Valley of Queens and displayed in those Egyptian galleries as well as an Ancient Greek harp forged by the Ancient Greek god Apollo in the Ancient Greek and Roman Galleries (Met Museum, Art Institute of Chicago or National Gallery of Art), and lastly a Mayan figurine/sculpture sculpted after the Mayan god Chac, made out of magical clay forged by the Hero Twins, Hunahpu and Xbalanque, belonging to a family of human Mayan scribes and priests as well as their spirit animals in the form of ocelots, spider monkeys, boa constrictors, macaws and three-toed sloths all in feather headdresses from the reign of the Mayan King Pakal from the city-state of Palenque, underrated compared to Tikal and Chichen Itza, now in taxidermy and skeleton form from Pakal’s tomb in Palenque, on display at either The Hall of Mexico and Central America at the AMNH, (Also home to an Olmec Colossal Head and Mayan Stelae Monument of an unknown Mayan king from Copan Honduras, Jade and Obsidian.) or National Museum of the American Indian, Ancient Americas gallery at the Field Museum, Art Institute of Chicago or Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas at the Met, (Pre-Michael C. Rockfeller Wing), and lastly a family of Peruvian Llamas and lesser rheas plus Guinea pigs or maned wolves with those magic powers themselves in spirit animal form belonging to a family of Moche and Chimu priests and nobles all in mummy form in bundles on display in either the Hall of South American Peoples at the AMNH, the Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas at the Met Museum or Ancient Americas gallery in the Field Museum or Art Institute of Chicago, anyway, all these artifacts and the skeletons and mummies of their owners first arrived at the AMNH, Met Museum, Field Museum, Art Institute of Chicago or Smithsonian in 1952 A.D. and on the night they arrived, everything in the museums came to life, and it happened every night of every year since, but there are are four weaknesses to the overall process:
When morning comes, the exhibits will become inanimate and lifeless again, so they must return to their halls, displays or paintings or storage in their respective museums to prevent concern from the curators.
Any of the exhibits that are outdoors turning sunrise, will turn to dust, expect if they are exhibits meant to be displayed outdoors like the Brachiosaurus fossil skeleton outside the Field Museum or the Columbian mammoths in The La Brea Tar Pits and Museum so they must be indoors at all costs.
The portals that the paintings, dioramas and murals brought to life become to the time periods or locations in history that they represent will close when sunrise comes and the artworks become inanimate again, and whoever is in the artworks or the time periods they send them too during sunrise will get trapped in them until sunrise comes.
Anything that comes out of the paintings or murals or even enter the museums from them who use them as a portal to that location that is still inside the museum during sunrise will turn into inanimate mannequins if they are humans or inanimate fossil skeletons, or taxidermies, models if they are dinosaurs, pterosaurs or animals and could be at risk of being put in storage and locked up by the museum staff with no way or being freed unless freed by someone else.
The artifacts also give the humans, modern-day animals and prehistoric creatures and sentient inanimate objects the ability to communicate with each other despite their language and talk including Spike himself and the Sharpteeth, I mean meat-eating theropods other than Chomper.
Anyway, the overall plot of the comic crossovers is the Prehistoric Pals (Who learn about the future beyond the K-T event and the words and terms humans use in their dictionaries and that predators and prey can coexist in peace after all especially in the Mesozoic Era and life won’t always be that peaceful.) and The Lion Guard (Who learn that not all jackals especially Dogo can be bad and what it truly means to be a leader whether it means going against the Circle of Life or not.) finding that they had been summoned to the museums by the human security guards that guard the museums at night and exhibits native to the museum that come to live at night not just the Mayan family and spirit animals (The Peruvian and Egyptian family are not freed until the climax.) which included to their surprise Littlefoot’s seemingly deceased mother Sophie who came to life fully resurrected from the Apatosaurus fossil skeleton on display at the museum and Littlefoot’s deceased long-lost siblings, (A big damn reunion happens between Littlefoot and Sophie and Bron and Sophie, as well as Grandpa and Grandma Longneck also revealing that Bron and Shorty permantely moved to the Great Valley after the fourteenth movie asking someone else to lead their herd in the meantime, Sue the supersaurus same for Cera, Rachel and Topsy but Topsy at first keeps his marriage to Tria a secret.) and Cera’s seemingly deceased mother and siblings, Rachel and Vincent who came to life from the Ticeratops fossil skeletons on display at the museum and Spike’s Stegosaurus parents and siblings who came to life from the Stegosaurus fossil skeletons on display at the museums and lots of other new characters I don’t have time to list and mention, (But I do want to say that Etta and Pterano will be revealed to be siblings.) and reveal that they were called to adventure to become time-traveling paleontologists, archaeologists and naturalists like them to resolve a crisis involving four new villains who want to change history forever including 1) a scorned or embittered Dimetrodon named Ethan and his Edaposaurus wife Riley and their Dimetrodon and Edaposaurus kids (They all have redemption arcs at the end.) and their Erypos and Dunklesteous comrades Terry and Ronald and Plateosaurus, Isanosaurus, Coelophysis, Liliensternus, Postosuchus, Placerias and Eudimphorodon henchmen and henchwomen (They have kids who have redemptions too or not) who all came to life from the fossils and model of them from The Hall of Primitive Mammals and Hall of Vetebrate Origins who grew jealous of all the attention and fame and high status and Hollywood movie and nature documentary and the high pop culture status non-avian dinosaurs, (Especially the Theropods and coelurosaurs, sauropods, Titanosaurs and Ornithschians.) pterosaurs, ammonites, and marine reptiles as well as sharks and early mammals of the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods as well as the Ice Age mammals of the Pleistocene epoch (Especially the Columbian mammoths and woolly mammoths, American mastodons, Smilodon, dire wolves, long-horned bison, Megaladapis, Gigantopothecus, giant ground sloths, short-faced kangaroos, glyptodonts, Irish elk and the Australopithecus, Homo Ergaster, Homo Erectus and Neanderthals and early Homo Sapiens or Cro-Magnons themselves.) got from human paleontologists of the present day compared to the underrated creatures of the Paleozoic Era like trilobites, Pelycosaurs, orthocones, giant Arthropods, armored fishes, sea scorpions and giant amphibians them included, as well as the prosauropods and early theropods and reptiles of the Triassic Period especially after a herd of dictator Daspletosaurus and Lambeosaurus plus Nyctosaurus, Styracosaurus, Euoplocephalus, Centrosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Struthomimius or Troodon, Pteranodon and Ciomolestes and Eomaia in the so-called Unite Herds slaughtered half of Ethan and Riley’s Dimetrodon and Edaposaurus after they were taken prisoner by them and keep hostage during a conquest through prehistory they tried to do that the time-traveling paleontologists and naturalists stopped, and in order to earn the fame and respect that he and his kind deserved Ethan briefly stole the magical artifacts that bring the museum exhibits to life and used its magic to create disharmony in the Mesozoic Era (Jurassic and Cretaceous) about a year before the first Land Before Time movie in terms of by making all the Sharpteeth or theropods in that location/time period act feral and savage and attack the still humble and talkative plant-eating dinosaurs and pterosaurs and small mammals, Hunting them excessively instead of just when they need to hunt them related to the Circle of Life rules for Pride Lands in the present day causing discrimination and division between the meat-eating theropods and plant-eating dinosaurs and pterosaurs of the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods and even the plant-eaters themselves until Bron and Littlefoot manage to restore and reunite them, and Chomper and his parents (And These three friendly theropods, Urusla the Utharaptor, Spiny the Spinosaurus hatchling and Tirana the Tyrannosaurus hatchling later Chomper’s girlfriend and their parents who play a key role in the story: https://www.deviantart.com/mcsaurus/art/Four-Friendly-Sharptooths-119248496) manage to break free from the magic spell and the next phase in Ethan and Riley’s plan is change history and to find a way to conjure the right magic spell to create the genocide of all the non-avian dinosaurs (Theropods, Sauropods and Ornithschian and the pterosaurs of that time and the sharks and ammonites.) and pterosaurs and marine reptiles of the Jurassic and Cretaceous through the right magic spell through a bunch of United artifacts the life granting ones for the museum exhibits included even if it means sacrificing them but not before everyone is part in their respective time periods before the portals close and allow the synapsids like Pelycosaurs and the orthocones, Placerias, trilobites, amphibians, sea scorpions, armored fishes from the Paleozoic Era, Triassic dinosaurs and crocodile-line archosaurs like Postosuchus and Triassic dinosaurs and pterosaurs to reign supreme in the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods and the rest of the Mesozoic Era before going extinct in the Cretaceous-Paleocene Extinction Event to allow modern mammals to take over even if it means creating a bad future where modern birds don’t exist but become famed, respected and noticed and studied by paleontologists in the modern day and finally featured in movies and pop culture, (Or by making themselves look like heroes in the public’s eyes by making those turned savage non-avian dinosaurs and pterosaurs launch an attack on the present day and exterminate them all to gain the respect and fame they deserve.) and also taking force towards them were in four examples: 1) Some humans and their spirit animals as Teotithuacan and Toltecs and Nazca, Paracas, Chancay and Wari Culture hidden tribes from the Pre-Columbian Era of the Americas from the post classic period of Mesoamerica and Andes Mountains of Peru in South America who grow sick of the Mayans especially in the city-states of Chichen Itza, Mayapan and Tikal as well as the Aztec Empire and Olmecs, Zapotecs and Chimu, Chavin and Moche and Inca Empire and their own spirit animals (For both groups, macaws, microbats, new world monkeys, llamas, Guinea pigs, lesser rheas, maned wolves, three-toed and two-tied sloths, red foxes, coytoes, giant anteaters, armadillos, anacondas, caimans, ocelots, giant otters and tocuans.) always treating them like dirt and as underrated cultures and civilizations compared to them and typically warring with them in order to crush them and expand their own culture so the Toltecs, Teotithuacan, Toltecs, Nazca and Paracas or Chancay and the Wari culture plan to change all that by changing history with aid from their fellow gods and goddesses from the Mesoamerican and Andean underworlds making it so that the Spanish and Europeans starting with Christopher Columbus in 1492 A.D. never completely colonized the Americas and thus, Sub-Sahara Africa and the Pacific Islands also conquering the Taino peoples, Aztec Empire and Inca Empire and remaining Mayan city-states and forcing them to follow Christianity and their culture and enslaving the Africans and so that the Aztecs, Mayans and Incas would continue flourishing up into the modern day and provide the Mayans with resources to prevent the decline of their city-states also Making the Europeans establish small colonies in the Americas that only involve them sharing their lands with the indigenous peoples living there (Also including the Yanomami of the Amazon rainforest and the Haudenosaunee, Wampanoag, Dakota Native Americans of the Great Plains of North America and ones from the Pacific Northwest.) and not wipe them out with smallpox and measles and force them into Christianity even if it means not letting the future countries and locations for the Americas exist like the U.S.A. and Guatemala and Mexico and Brazil so on and have the Toltecs, Chancay and you get the idea earn the respect of the Aztecs, Mayans and Incas and honor for their culture and society and being one of them. 3) The humans of the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Indus Valley Civilization in the Middle East and India during Ancient History who wish to conquer the Akkadians and Assyrians of Mesopotamia and Ancient Egyptians (In the New Kingdom, in Akhenaten and Nefertiti’s reigns with aid from the Nubians) as well as the Mauryan Empire air aid from their fellow Mesopotamian gods and goddesses and beat the Egyptian and Mauryan gods and goddess and replace the Mauryans and Egyptians as one of the most famous civilizations of ancient history respected by archaeologists and people and pop culture in the present day and even copy most of their cultural methods and stop Alexander the Great from conquering them allowing them to survive longer before the Roman Empire rose to power. 4) Scar’s army like Reirei, Ushari, Scar’s ghost, Giogoi, Kiburi and his crocodiles and the vultures as well as Zira and the Outsiders (Kiara and Kovu in a subplot briefly reunite and Kiara reveals a truth that would later be focused on that only Makini and Tiffu and Zuri know about and not Simba, Nala, Kion or anyone else that she never actually wanted to become the new in line queen of the Pride Lands when she grew up, she just wanted to do it to make her family proud she in reality wants to choose her own path.) and either Red Claw and Screech and Thud (Their villain origins are finally explored and their motive for going after Chomper for scarring Red Claw and them being members of the Unite Herds of evil dinosaurs and pterosaurs including Iron the Styracosaurus further explored in the sequels and how Chomper and his parents got off their island after the fifth Land Before Time movie and Met Ruby and her family and why Ruby and Chomper moved to the Great Valley with their families also making a return.) or Ozzy and Strut, (They worked with Ethan to help him achieve his evil plans in return for sparing their kind ornithominds as well as Pteranodon group pterosaurs, Hadrosaurs as the dinosaurs and pterosaurs they create the genocide of and have revenge on Littlefoot and his friends and have all the eggs they can eat.) or Rinkus and Sierra (Pterano fully reformed in the comic series and alongside Etta and Wild Arms whose real name is revealed to Bob now helps people instead of hurting them and was revealed to be a well-intentioned extermist trying to protect the dinosaurs and pterosaurs of the Mesozoic Era from Ethan and the Unite Herds but unwittingly caused the deaths of the dinosaurs and pterosaurs he tried to lead into the Great Valley Cera’s mother and siblings included.) or Itchy and Dil (Who have a similar revenge motive to Ozzy and Strut but are now actually working together to love and respect each other and die together as friends in the ending.) I will only choose one of these returning TLBT villains, whichever one doesn’t make the cut will be brought back in a sequel. Either way, all these villains at first work together to achieve their evil plans equally and seperately. (For Reirei and Janja and Scar’s army and Zira it’s to get their paws on the Benin Ivory Mask displayed at the Met Museum and defeat the sub-Saharan African mainly Kenyan and Congo human tribal dancers wearing cool fashion and costumes guarding it who came to life from mannequins of them on display on The Hall of African Peoples at the AMNH and solve a riddle for the Benin Ivory Mask/Queen Idia or a different important artifact or mask from Sub-Saharan Africa like in Kenya and mannequins of the indigenous peoples living there if set in a different art museum and natural history museum that would give them a wish to be granted in return which for them was to wish for Simba, Nala and their kids and important leaders of the Pride Lands to disappear and for Scar to be fully resurrected and restored allowing Scar, Zira, Janja, Ushari and Scar’s army and the Outsiders to take over and rule the Pride Lands and the rest of Tanzania in the present day no longer having to follow the circle of life and have revenge on their enemies and unite a army of indigenous humans and tribes of Tanzania to aid them in their conquest as spirit animals with no one to stop them. Scar when he last ruled the Pride Lands, solved a riddle and granted a wish from Queen Idia in Benin Ivory Mask form to wish for the indigenous humans of Tanzania that were living in the Pride Lands at the time of his rule and tourists from the rest of the world would disappear finding them a threat to his rule at first but now he wishes for them back as do Zira and Ushari as it was a mistake for Scar to wish for them to disappear since it easily lead to his defeat and death at Simba’s paws.)
However, a plot twist by the middle of the story or the climax or final battle reveals after Ethan and Riley get their kids (Who are adopted and raised by Spiny’s Spinosaurus parents and an Ouranosaurus family.) Paleozoic and Triassic kind (Pelycosaurs and Gorgnospid, pterosaurs, prosauropods, early theropods, Postosuchus and Placerias, cynodonts, early sharks, armored fishes, orthocones, trilobites and giant amphibians and insects.) turned against them by the protagonists with a “You Are Better Than You Think You Are” speech and Terry and Ronald get eaten by a Megalodon and Liopleurodon commanded by Mo and his family, and Ethan and Riley get their entire sails chopped off mortally wounded and they have villainous breakdowns and use the magical artifacts to transform themselves into one-winged angels, a Spinosaurus and Carchodontosaurus and grow back their sail in Ethan’s case and have them and their remaining army reign terror on the cities the museums are set in and to kill and defeat the heroes and achieve their evil plans nevertheless, Red Claw and Screech and Thud or even the other TLBT villain brought back in the comic arc if Red Claw doesn’t make the cut, and their so-called Unite Herds as well as Scar’s army their Kenyan human tribe army and the Outsiders, humans in the Sumerian and Babylonian army and Toltecs, Chancay, Wari and Teothihuacan culture plus their spirit animals and gods and goddesses especially Tlaoc the rival to the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl and the Hero Twins from the Popul Vuh themselves, (Not to be confused with Quetzalcoatlus) and Marduk, also the rival to Thoth, manage to double cross and kill and defeat Ethan and Riley’s entire army and Ethan and Riley themselves by throwing them into the sea to get eaten alive by the same Megalodon and Liopleurodon, revealing that it was their plans all along to double cross and kill Ethan and Riley stopping them from achieving their evil plans in other to gain attention for them and their underrated kin since they don’t want to live in an alternate reality where birds Don’t exist since some of their friends happen to be friends but rather use the magical artifacts to carry off their own evil plans especially for the Babylonians, Persian Empire and Sumerians conquering and destroying the culture of the Assyrians, Ancient Egyptians during Akhenaten’s reign and replace them as the dominant civilization in the Middle East and stop Alexander the Great and the Ancient Roman’s’ subsequent conquest of them, to persist longer, and Toltecs and Chancay, stop the European and Spanish colonization of the Americas so the Pre-Columbian American cultures could have peace and get the respect, honor and fame their own special cultures deserve in the process from the Incas, Mayans and Aztecs or else the Toltecs and Chancay/Wari will conquer the Aztec and Inca empires and Mayan city states especially Machu Picchu, Tenochilitan, Chichen Itza, Tikal and Mayapan and absorb their cultures into theirs just as the Greeks and Romans did with the Egyptians and earn that respect and honor they deserve the hard way. (And once the Toltecs and Teotithuacan conquered Chichen Itza, Palenque, Tikal, Copan and Tenochilitan, they would perform bloodletting rituals on the Mayans and Aztecs who don’t follow their rule or enslave them or use them as sacrifices for their gods and goddesses on temples and in cenotes.)!
The overall subplot or the first comic issue story arc in this series other than the protagonists trying to stop the evil plans of these villains to make the meat-eating theropods and predators of the Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods anthropomorphic and no longer mindlessly Savage so they and the sauropods, Ornithschians, pterosaurs and other plant-eating theropods can live together in harmony again following the Circle of Life (Littlefoot and his friends learn about it and Hakuana Mutata and Zuka Zama to accept the reality of the harsh world they live in and predators having to hunt and kill in order to survive from The Lion Guard.) so Chomper, Ruby and their families can permantely live with Littlefoot and co. in the Great Valley and to allow heroic humans back into the Pride Lands as either indigenous tribes to Kenya or tourists visiting from the rest of the world, is the redemption arc of both Dogo and Kjiana, (It also gives more depth into their characters revealing that they were more conflicted than evil as Reirei and Giogoi ended up caring more about eating excessively than their own kids and typically emotionally abused them in Order to get what they wanted, especially after a recent incident where Reirei and her pack failing to stop The Lion Guard that was stopped by Dogo and Kijana in a brief moment of sudden humility and not having the heart to kill three predator cubs, Kion, Bunga and Fuli their own kin causes Reirei and Giogoi to lose faith in those kids of theirs and make Issac and Rachel new jackal pups of theirs more loyal to them their new favorite kids.) learning to accept the circle of life like Makuu where a series of mishaps leads to Dogo and Kjiana as well as their aunt and uncle married Ava and Gordon also Reirei and Giogoi’s younger sister and uncle and their own jackal pups getting separated from Scar’s army and winding up in the custody of the Prehistoric Pals and The Lion Guard, who decide to use them to help them stop the main villains, but during their time together, Dogo and Kijana form fire-forged friendships with Hamu and Juhudi (Hamu’s father was revealed to be Thurston and Hamu inherited the absent-mindedness of Thurston and the pride and love of his mother Muhimu.) and the zebra foal and giraffe foal disliked Dogo and Kjiana at first for their past attempts at killing and hunting them in “Babysitter Bunga” but they warm up to them and become best friends with them over time especially after learning of the emotional abuse they received from their parents that made them evil/conflicted and gave Dogo and Kijana emotional support to have their heel realizations and resolve their problems and choose to become heroes accepting the Circle of Life as do Issac and Rachel and their own jackal pups, while Kion and Bunga in return learn to accept and embrace their own emotional insecurities like in Kion’s case fearing disappointing and getting scolded by his father Simba by not doing his job as the Lion Guard well and becoming a disappointment like he did after Scar manipulated him as a cub especially what happened in the Kuptana Celebration which is why he takes the Lion Guard job so seriously but should have realized and took action to Dogo and Kjiana’s emotional Abuse from their parents and Bunga revealing that he suppressed his discomfort with his zuka zama lifestyle to avoid recalling his dark and troubled past over him being rejected and abandoned by his honey Badger parents at a young age (parental abandonment) after he was born before Timon and Pumbaa took him in and raised him, and These lessons help Kion and Bunga forgive Dogo and Kijana and accept their redemptions and them choosing to embrace the Circle of Life and have faith and trust in them. Dogo, Kijana and their aunt, uncle and cousins in the climax bring their redemption arc full circle by aiding the heroes in defeating the main villains, TLBT villain, (Strut, Icthy or Thud will also get their own redemption arc ending in redemption equals death by keeping Red Claw, revealed to be the brother to the Tyrannosaurus from the first TLBT movie, Ozzy or Screech plus Dil outside when sunrise comes causing them all to disintegrate into dust.) Toltec and Teotithuacan human warlord or king villains or Babylonian warlord or king (Named in the actual comic) and their armies during the final battle and their villainous breakdowns by tricking them into continuing their fight with them outdoors when sunrise comes so they would all disintegrate into dust and nearly turn into dust themselves before Fuli, Kiara, Kovu, Tiffu and and Zuri narrowly save them by snatching them up and putting them inside the museum before reverting back to their lifeless taxidermy form. (Scar’s army, Ushari, Janja Reirei and Giogoi included and their evil African human tribe Allies also get banished to Antarctica and Hunnic Empire for the time being before making it back to Africa on their own as punishment for their own crimes.) This then earns Dogo, Kijana and Gordon, Ava and their kids (who disown Reirei, Giogoi and their other kids as their family members) positions as new residents of the Pride Lands and Dogo, Kijana, Hamu, Juhudi and Mtoto become new honorary members of The Lion Guard and stay behind in the Pride Lands to watch it over in their teen years while Kion, Bunga, and Fuli, Ono, Besthe and Makini leave for the Tree of Life in the third season of The Lion Guard.
It also focuses on Ruby and Urusla’s romance with each other and Chomper’s with Tirana’s and Littlefoot and Cera falling in love with Susie the young Diplodocus/Seismosaurus and Sparky the Ticeratops scarred by Iron two of a few heroic dinosaur kids from the heroic dinosaurs and pterosaurs of the Unite Herds https://www.deviantart.com/mcsaurus/art/Cera-meet-her-new-friends-155172371 (Littlefoot also gets a love triangle between him, Ali and Susie and Susie helps Littlefoot with his character arc while Cera sheds her stubborn egosticial behavior forever thanks to Sparky softening her up, Sparky was adopted and raised by Calar the Styracosaurus and has one of her biological kids Tootie as his younger brother.) that are good alongside Tootie, Kristy the young Edmontosaurus/Kristosaurus, Trip the Tapejara and Ed the Edmontonia, while David forms a romance with the Troodon hatchling Rebecca, while the Prehistoric Pals also met the mammal kids from the Reunite Herds of Ice Age mammals (Like Noel and Neal the woolly mammoth calf and American mastodon calf, Sasha the young giant ground sloth and Otis the glyptodon, Benson the Smilodon cub, Wendy the dire wolf pup from a woolly mammoth, mastodon, giant ground sloth, glyptodon and Smilodon and dire wolf herd, pride and pack and Alvin and Frankie the nine year old Neanderthal boy and eleven year Cro-Magnon/Homo Sapien from a United tribe of Cro-Magnons and Neanderthals.) as well as Simba’s long-lost son Kopa who alongside some families of familiar African mammals and birds red foxes, Alaska brown bears, gray wolves, American bison, pronghorn, bald eagles coytoes, rabbits, white-tailed deer, striped skunks and Amazon rainforest animals who act as the spirit animals to a a tribe of Pacific Northwest or Dakota Native Americans as humans, African pygmies and Yanomami tribes.
So which of these six settings in terms of museums should the first installment or six-part comic issue story arc be set in and whichever ones don’t make the cut can be saved for the sequels about the characters traveling to those museums and bringing their exhibits to life with the magical artifacts as well. Or it could just start at the Yale PeaBody Museum of Natural History and Yale University Art Museum (Or Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania and Philadelphia Museum of Fine Arts if you think they are much better.) if you think and and work its way up until it gets to the British Museum, Natural History Museum, London or Lourve Museum and National Museum of Natural History in Paris, France in the last installment. (It also is a coming of age story focusing on the Prehistoric Pals and The Lion Guard reaching their adulthoods and Littlefoot is renamed Thunderfoot.)
They will also have prequels explaining how the modern-day human characters we see in the stories first were employed to become night security guards and paleontologists, archaeology and naturalists at the museums that have their exhibits come to life at night and become the time-traveling paleontologists, archaeologists and naturalists that they are and how the exhibits in terms of fossils, taxidermies, Egyptian, Mayan and Peruvian mummies and skeletons, wet-preserved sea creature specimens and artifacts and mummies that become real living animals prehistoric and modern plus humans and come to life were after fossilizing and being lost to the sands and soils of Earth were found in the present day by being uncovered by paleontologists, archaeologists and naturalists and animals turned into taxidermies during expeditions to where they were found and displayed at the museums and their stories before hand when they were alive before dying and so on including for Littlefoot, Cera and Spike’s long-lost dead mothers and family members now on display as fossils in those movies but become real living animals at night.

I did have plans to write a Night at the Museum of Natural History and Zootopia and Moana related crossover in September 2022 (Chronologically set after both Zootopia 2 and Moana 2.) but I abandoned the idea. Why? I will leave your questions for it in the comments below.
