The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride

I personally love this movie, I always found it a worthy sequel to the first! This installment, the second of three, focuses on Simba (now king of Pride Rock) and Nala's daughter, Kiara. Being the rebellious cub that she is, Kiara wanders out of the Pride Lands and stumbles across Kovu, a cub from the wrong side of the tracks who just so happens to be the heir of Scar, the former movie's antagonist and Simba's deceased uncle. The two are separated by their respectful parents when it is discovered they've met, and subsequently they go several years without seeing one another. Years pass, and their paths cross once again, on the cusp of a rebellion between the Pride Landers and Outlanders, and they find that despite their bloodlines, they may be the only hope to repair the broken bond between their prides. I love the original, but I've always found myelf watching this one more, even as an adult. Some Disney films' "big songs" aren't always my favorite, but I'll tell you what, "Upendi" is one of my top ten favorite Disney songs. It's catchy, and a perfect song to show young ones that you can find love where you least expect it. The only problem I have is with the dvd release itself, not the movie. I purchased the original two disc special edition that was released in the early 2000's, as I always wanted to get it but I never did get the opportunity before it went into the Vault. I wanted to have the Virtual Safari most of all, so I would have all three. The first one? Great, best of them all. The third one? Really cute, loved the inclusion of Timon's family. But this one? This was, pardon, the most half-assed virtual tour I have ever seen on a dvd. The CGI was awful, and no matter what you choose, it seems to take you to the same endings and cutscenes. Most of the special features on this dvd are lacking, really. I did like the math game with the grubs, it's something cute someone can play with their child. I'm just glad they upped the ante for the prequel, the special features are much better. No matter the features, this movie is a great addition to any collection, and a definite must see for children who love Disney.

Set after Lion King and Lion King 1/2, Simba has defeated Scar and got the throne at last. Simba ( voiced by Matthew Broderick) and Nala now have a daughter named "Kiara" whom is the heir of the pridelands, one day while wondering around the pridelands she meets a mysterious lion cub named " Kovu" and becomes friends with him. Unknown to Kiara, Kovu is a young member of the banished outland pride whom were part of Scar's pride. Now there is a war between the prides lead by the dark Zira ( voiced by Suzanne Pleshette), only Kovu ( Jason Marsden) and Kiara ( voiced by Neve Campbell) with their love can straighten things up between the two prides. Terrific sequel to both " Lion King" and " Lion King 1/2", it's another sequel that proves not all the disney sequels can stink. What works here is that some of the cast members from the original with a new one ( Robert Guillium, Nathan Lane, Ernie Sabella, Andy Dick) come back, the animation is theatrical quality on a good level and the soundtrack to it isn't bad at all. The 2-Disc special edition is great! there are fine extras like " One By One" an all-new animated short from the makers of "Lion King" and " Lilo and Stitch", Timon and Pumbaa's virtual safari 2.0, fun games, pop-up trivia when you play the movie on pop-up triva mode, featurettes and great Picture & Sound quality. Highly recommended movie but first watch the original then Lion King 1/2 and then this one, i think the Lion King trilogy is probably the "Star Wars Trilogy" of animated trilogies.

This is a great disney squeal. It's about simba and nalas daughter:Kirara. This is a amazing flim you should watch. Summary:Simba and nala had a cub named Kirara. One day she will be queen. But Kirara is adventures. One day she met kovu,a out Lander cub. Simba and zira(kovus mother). Had a fight. Zira wanted to kill simba. Simba taught his daughter a lesson and sang her a song. In the out lands zira was mad at nuka(ziras other son). She then sang kovu a song that one day,he will be king. After awhile of training,kovu grew up and now is ready. Kirara also grew up and was going hunting. She failed when nuka and vitani(ziras daughter). Made a fire. Kovu saved Kirara. Simba met kovu. Kovu wanted to join the pride lands. Simba let him stay. Things start to happen. Because kovu and Kirara fall in love.... Message:Love. Kovu and Kirara fell in love. Kovu is a out Lander and Kirara is a pride lander. They were never suppose to fall in love but they did!!!! The DVD release of this moive is something you should get. If you loved the original then you will like this one. Unlike other disney squeals,it continues the story of simba and nala. Also unlike other disney squeals,the songs are ALOT better. Some disney squeals,like bambi 2 and the fox and the hound 2 doesn't continue the story. This make This moive so much more better. This is a moive you should watch,but it's kinda violent. There is ALOT of killing involved. Still it's a great disney squeal.

good movie

As someone who grew up during the Disney Renaissance of the 1990s, most sequels are less than entertaining but this one is one of the good ones. It starts with the birth of Kiara, Simba's daughter and future queen and is about her accepting her role in the circle of life and Simba trying to follow in his father's footsteps. Kiara makes friends with Kovu, son of Zira, who blames Simba for ousting her and a group of lionesses still loyal to Scar. She trains him to kill Simba and take his place as King of Pride Rock but it becomes a war when Kovu and Kiara fall in love. Although there are some holes, it is a good story, great music and we get to see the characters we fell in love with in the original Lion King.

Came in great condition, no scratches and plays good. Case really nice and sturdy.

I’ve had a bad experience with old DVDs being called new on the listing and not being new so it was nice to see that this DVD came still in the original packaging and worked perfectly. 5/5 stars. Movie is great too.

Une très belle suite du Roi Lion, avec une histoire touchante et des chansons mémorables. Les personnages sont attachants et l’esprit du premier film est bien conservé. Un excellent choix pour compléter la collection Disney et partager un beau moment en famille.

Bra , min son gillar den men det har inte svensk tal.

Ich haben für meine kleine Tochter zunächst das Hörspiel zu König der Löwen 2 gekauft. Ehrlich gesagt hat es mir nicht so zugesagt. Beim Kauf der blu-ray war ich daher eher skeptisch, zumal die Latte durch Teil 1 doch mehr als nur hoch liegt. Und doch... Überraschung! Der Film ist m.E. ein echter Knaller, kann sich selbst mit vielen Werken der "Meisterwerke"-Reihe messen lassen. Die Geschichte um Kiara und Kovu ist stimmig, die Animationen sind dem Original über weite Strecken ebenbürtig und die Charaktere genauso liebenswert wie im ersten Teil. Der absolute Höhepunkt ist allerdings die Musik. Oft der ganz große Schwachpunkt bei Fortsetzungen, sind hier Songs eingeflochten worden, die fast an die Qualität des Originals heranreichen. "Wir sind eins", "In Opendu", "Verbannung" und all die anderen Songs (ja, es gibt sogar mehr als im ersten Teil) sind echte Ohrwürmer, haben einen afrikanischen Touch und tragen viel zur Stimmung des Films bei. Mein absoluter Favourit allerdings ist "He is in you", performed von der großartigen Tina Turner, während des Abspanns (kurioserweise nur in der deutschen Fassung). Einige wenige Schwächen möchte ich allerdings nicht verschweigen. Die Animation während des Liedes "In Opendu" fällt zu sehr aus dem Rahmen, was mir nicht gefiel. Die Bösewichter um Zira und ihr Löwenrudel haben einfach nicht das gleiche Format wie der großartige Scar und die Hyänen aus dem ersten Teil. Zira ist mir zu laut und zu plump. Der feine ironische Humor von Scar fehlt leider völlig und der von Zira performte Song "Wiegenlied" ist leider der schwächste des ganzen Films. Auch finde ich ihre Stimme nervig. Das wars dann aber schon an Gemaule. Es gibt dafür einige wirklich großartige Momente, wie die Kroko-Szene, das Buschfeuer und die Verbannung. Besonders die kleinen Kovu und Kiara sind einfach nur knuffig. Die genannten negativen Aspekte können das Gesamtvergnügen eigentlich kaum trüben, so das ich gerne nahe der Höchstwertung punkte: 4,5 - aufgerundet 5 Sterne!

Thank you. I lost my Lion King 2 many years ago. I was worried that they were in the vault and I would never complete the collection.
