As Sora & co make their return to the Pride Lands to help their friends face the remains of Scar's darkness once more, they somehow get separated into different locations, with Goofy ending up some place beyond the borders of the kingdom. He is quickly relieved from his loneliness as he felt something leap onto his shell, but is taken aback when he turned to face whom he thought was a familiar lion cub.

"Huh? Now hold on a gawrsh darn minute, you ain't Sora!"

"Man, you're one weird tortoise!"

That voice.

"Wait... Max?"

well don't cha just adore voice actor jokes

Yes, I know Jason Marsden only voiced Kovu when he's older, buuut he voiced him as a cub in an episode of The Lion Guard as well so SHADDAHP.

Btw this is inspired by this cute little piece of TLK II concept art.
