    The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (1998) It obviously doesn't come anywhere near reaching the heights of the original film, but it's still an interesting and cromulent sequel with some nice songs. To quote that one "The Loin King II" bootleg DVD cover: "Not as good as the first one, but ok".

    You know, if they would have just put The Lion King II: Simba's Pride in theaters on Christmas Day, it probably would make more of a profit for Disney than the live action Mufasa movie.

    I’m loving the Lion King II discourse because I watched that movie on vhs so much with my baby nephews back then, we learned and sang all the songs, that movie and soundtrack went triple platinum in our house 😭🤣🥹

    Which film reminds you of your childhood the most? Mine is probably The Lion King II (no idea why child me was more obsessed with the sequel than the original) That said The Aristocats and Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron are also up there

    I miss when Disney would half-ass straight-to-video sequels. I mean The Lion King II: Simba's Pride wasn't a good movie, but I would rather watch that than whatever this new Mufasa movie is.

    Damn. Now I wanna watch The Lion King II. I love that movie, bro. Underrated Disney sequel. I'm a Simba girl, but I get why people thirsted over Kovu. I get it.

    Ha, just remembered my children watched the original Lion King the other month and of course Disney recommended the Lion King II: Simba's Pride as a follow up film, which is, while slightly better than average straight to video 90s Disney, pretty bad and not a patch on the original.

    What's the most diabolical lie someone at your school told? A girl at one of my primary schools said her dad wrote The Lion King II and was in Hollywood writing a third movie. Another girl claimed that both of her parents were dead for a YEAR before casually admitting she'd made it up.

    Just from reading a Wikipedia page about Mufasa: The Lion King, how is it that Kion (the protag from The Lion Guard) born before the events of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride when he's not even in the latter movie? I'm quite confused here. 😕

    If the first is Hamlet with lions then this one is Romeo & Juliet with lions. And if the first is a great kids' movie then this one is a passable kids' movie. Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product.
