A Very Critical Review Of The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride

sometimes you gotta put the pride down
The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (also titled as The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride)[b] is a 1998 American animated direct-to-video musical drama film produced by Walt Disney Video Premiere. It is the sequel to Disney's 1994 animated film, The Lion King, with its plot influenced by William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and the second installment in The Lion King trilogy. According to director Darrell Rooney, the final draft gradually became a variation of Romeo and Juliet.[1]
Animated by Walt Disney Animation Australia, the film centers on Simba and Nala's daughter Kiara, who falls in love with Kovu, a lion from a banished pride once loyal to Scar. Separated by Simba's prejudice against the pride and a vindictive plot planned by Kovu's mother Zira, Kiara and Kovu struggle to unite their estranged prides and be together.
Most of the original cast returned to their roles from the first film with a few exceptions. Rowan Atkinson, who voiced Zazu in the first film, was replaced by Edward Hibbert for both this film and The Lion King 1½ (2004). Jeremy Irons, who voiced Scar in the first film, was replaced by Jim Cummings, who briefly provided his singing voice in the first film. While not drawing the same attention as its predecessor, Simba's Pride received positive reviews from critics.

Hey, I seen 2 of your reviews and let me just say that they are fun and very easily watchable and cohesive. I watch it feeling like you're already a big channel. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to more videos.
