[@jjsstikbotvideos4421]

@@GOQBERThen that makes me confused why her and some other lionesses supported Scar and got banished. Wasn’t he a pretty bad king? At least by the time when Simba came. Prey and plants were dead, they had no food, hyenas controlling everything and him having the tyrannous mindset of “I’m King! I can do whatever I want!”

[@isaiahadams1996]

This is one the best deleted scenes I’ve seen. It is the perfect way to introduce Zira, Kovu, Nuka and Vitani. Not to mention that score is a good callback to the first film

[@Acornfur.]

Right! It also shows what type of lioness zira is and her motives even more. I love how it takes place directly after the ceremony and how it wouldn't be the only scene we see ziras manipulation early on in their lives. I dont get why they scrapped it

[@leahsincelejo7641]

They should’ve kept the scene of Kovu being a sweetheart to the bug

[@PatcheeDoggieAnimation]

This intro explains everything... The beginnig of the story is more clear. We know what characters we can expect. This is a perfect image of a relationship between Nuka and Zira. So Nuka wasn't a fool. He wanted to be someone important, but only for his mother. I can't imagine how desperate he really was. He was treated like... A rubbish. On the other side, Zira hadn't noticed him all his life. That shows how harsh, psychopatic and power-hungry she was. Even in this scene we have a proof of her character traits. Kovu was good and innocent. He fell victim to his mother's manipulation. And Vitani was very intelligent cub. I can't believe Disney deleted the best scenes from the movie... It tells more about our characters, they're more deep! Why, Disney? How could you destroy your own masterpiece?!

[@estelar95]

I’m pretty sure it’s because this whole scene is a really heavy handed exposition dump. The exposition doesn’t flow naturally, they are discussing things they should already know as characters as if talking directly to the audience instead.

[@Doomlovesearth2]

@@estelar95 Yeah, as much as I like this scene, you do raise a good point.

[@lautarogomez9711]

Easy...they really don't care about us...they use us as their money industry

[@TehLislis]

This is the first time I've seen the last scene. I've long felt that the reason this segment was cut was because it humanized the antagonists too much... Which if that's the case, I really wish they didn't, because in a way it validates the "we are one" moral even more. Scar had a family outside of his relation to Mufasa, and the cubs- including Kiara (and later in the Lion Guard, Kion)- are all affected in some way by Scar's crimes.

[@leonilakoriagina9636]

I can assume that it was also removed because then at the time of the first meeting of Kovu and Kiara, Kovu would be closer to the age of a teenager than a child (since it is shown here that Kovu already has a small mane and certainly not the size of a newborn, while Kiara, on the contrary, is still quite a baby). in short, they would have a possible age difference, which in turn would frighten Kiara, and she most likely would not even offer him to play, or simply would not talk to him.

[@jordanbriskin238]

As great as it is to see more interaction between Zira and her kids, and another between Rafiki and Mufasa, I think I can see why they changed things: 1. In this pass, Rafiki is surprised to hear of Kovu's existence. Considering that Zira describes the latter as being "the last born" before Scar's followers were banished, the former almost certainly would have known about him. 2. Meeting Zira and family and hearing their backstory right after the opening, and then again after Kovu and Kiara first meet, would have been redundant; not to mention, seeing them so early takes away that element of mystery that is present in the final film, where we're introduced to Kovu and Zira at the same time as Kiara.

[@falcon.wolf_1875]

[@Anonymityfan]

The scene with Kovu abd the bug is a nice homage to scar and the mouse. With Kovu shoeing the parallels but then hiw he is different and then Zira insisting on killing it

[@SagePictures2011]

Honestly, the main reason me and alot of other people don't hold this film in high regards, is because Disney did not want this film to be mainstream or in theaters. Because they wanted it to be quick and straight to VHS, the team did not have the budget to spend more time and money on the project. Therefore, the crew could not get Hans Zimmer, Elton John, and Tim Rice for the music. Nor the directors writers and other to work on this. The original film was supposed to be a grand show of what the could do, but most plans needed to be thrown away for budget reasons. Most films do have budgets, but lion king II could didn't have a high budget. That is also why the movie doesn't look appealing. As shown in this scene, the animation looks better then pre finals and the finished product. Disney is honestly quite stupid for making this a straight to VHS sequel. The highest grossing film of all time, the Magnum Opus of Disney, no, Animation in general! The sequel of such a grand thing should be in higher priority!! But no. This film could have been the shit. But Disney can't spend money. So the disappointment that the final cut is, was made by Disney. Not the team that worked on this sequel.

[@August_loves_rats]

Honestly I would have liked this in the movie

[@wildguy4773]

Ill be honest, this should have been in the final version of the movie. Its so Damn good

[@sparklew0rkzzz577]

My fanon: Zira was pregnant with twins (Vitani and Kovu) right before Simba came back and killed Scar, but the father was a different lion. Zira had two mates in her lifetime, both rogue males (she had Nuka by her first mate) and became obsessed with Scar during his reign as king given her power fetish. Scar was obsessed with Nala though, and was ambivalent to Zira’s affections. Kovu was born shortly after he’d banished Nala for rejecting him/insubordination, and partly out of despair for having lost the lioness he intended to mate with, he flippantly remarked that Kovu should be heir to the throne when Zira excitedly pointed out the coincidental resemblance. Zira of course took this seriously, leading to the events of the second film.

[@sakuracardcaptor4709]

Nah its scar it’s kept secret because it was his dying wish.

[@tamyasaunders7689]

I always get confused by Zira's family. The film states multiple times that scar wasn't kovu's father but he chose kovu to be his successor which nuka himself says which is why he feels he should be king so does that imply nuka is scar's son. I also heard somewhere that zira adopted kovu but all of Zira's children resemble scar somewhat.

[@Anonymityfan]

​@@tamyasaunders7689kovu was meant to be Scars son but then he would be Simba's cousin and audiences might find it weird to him to have a romance with Nala. Some think Nuka was Scars son but I think if Scar had a son he would want him to be his heir.

This was so cool! And it confirms Scar ISN'T Kovu's father, like everyone keeps saying, even though that was never the case. But I can kind of see why they didn't use this since they wanted to keep Kovu and Kiara the same age. Still, they could've changed to him being a somewhat newborn. Maybe a few days or a week older than Kiara, depending on how long it was between Simba returning to the Pridelands and Kiara being born.

[@randomguy56789]

[@Shiruvi]

my theory is that nuka and vitani were scar's children with zira, but because zira didn't/couldn't give him the cubs he wanted fast enough he turned his eye on other lionesses (perhaps nala, as per the stage play) instead. zira being so loyal meant she either didn't know or didn't care - just because zira was loyal to scar doesn't mean he was equally loyal in return. this also gives her a link to nuka in how they both desire the attention and approval of another who won't give it, and the cyclical nature of these things. it's possible that zira found kovu abandoned while searching for food, noticed the coincidental resemblance, brought him back to the pridelands and asked scar what they should do with him. maybe scar sarcastically suggested that kovu be trained as his successor, not really caring what happened. but zira took his joke seriously, mentally spinning it into a grand proclamation.
