Remember how I said in my review of Pooh's Grand Adventure that I would only review two direct-to-video movies? Well, here is the second one!
The sequel to the worldwide phenomenon known as The Lion King tells the story of Simba's daughter, Kiara, who falls in love with Scar's lost son, Kovu. Simba does not like this because Scar killed Mufasa, so he sends Timon and Pumbaa to spy on Kiara wherever she goes. Many years later, Zira, Scar's widow, raises Kovu to kill Simba. However, Kiara and Kovu fall in love, making the movie a 'Romeo and Juliet' kind of story. The Lion King 2 is different from previous and later movies from DisneyToons because it stays very true to the original 'Lion King' without getting too ridiculous or having too many new characters or songs. Aside from most of the original voice actors, nobody from the original Lion King returned for the project, but is still an enjoyable treat for single-digit kids. In conclusion, The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride may not be no where near as good as the original, but is a great diversion from other movies from DisneyToon Studios.
