Summary: Lion King II : A Must-See for Lion King Fans!
Review: Simba's Pride is a really great feat for Disney. This is the best sequel film they've produced to date, with excellent music, and an excellent story resulting in a moving tale of true Disney fare. This movie is a great achievement for Disney considering the difference in budget and time when compared to the original movie, The Lion King.

Simba's Pride is second only to the original, and a must-see for any Lion King fan.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Well, I guess it's ok....
Review: I've never really liked Disney sequels (ie, Peter Pan 2, Pocahontas 2, Little Mermaid 2, etc...), but this one is an exception. The story follows the adventures of Simba's daughter, Kiara. All she wants to do is explore the Pride Lands unsupervised, but her father fears for her safety. One morning little Kiara goes wandering off too far, ends up in the forbidden "Out Lands", and meets another young cub named Kovu. They become great friends against Simba's and Zera's (Kovu's mom's) wishes. It's pretty much a total conflict between the Pride Landers and the Outsiders, ending up with Kiara and Kovu having to solve the problem. The story isn't too bad, but Disney sequels can always use some improvement, as usual. My sister and I still have fun pretending to be Kiara and Kovu. And the animation isn't top notch, but it's good. To round it all out, I think the kids will probably enjoy it. Go ahead and give it a try, but I can't promise you that you'll like it. Me and my sis have always enjoyed it ever since we bought it though, so I'm sure somebody in the family will love it. :)

Summary: Oh, Disney, Why?
Review: Lame.

The concept was nice enough, I suppose. But I found the move to be lacking in so many ways. The music made me wince - that was probably one of the worst things in the film. The songs were completely forgetable, and cheap.

Don't get me wrong - I adored the Lion King. And I thought it was interesting to have the daughter fall in love with Scar's son. But it was a poor follow up to that wonderful first film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Real Pleasure
Review: Very enjoyable on all levels.
The story has a little less "light and shade" in a dramatic sense, but is very highly stark in what is right, what is wrong... especially if you recall the first film, and how Mufasa taught his son.
Very nice to see Rafiki voice again by Robert Guillame, and a slight disappointment that Rowan Atkinson is absent.
But, overall, the resolution based on the "Circle of Life", and the "we are one" concepts are very well executed, and should please adults and children who love the series ( And I do mean Love, not like !!! ).
The extras are very focused on the children but are very fun for adults of the right mind as well.


Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Sequel
Review: Most of the time, I do not believe Disney creates good sequels, but this one is really good. Yes, it does seem to be a rehash of the original, but sometimes history does repeat itself? I was thrilled that the lead character is female, and she's not some pretty pretty princess (which is what Disney usually does to female leads). Instead, she is a "rough and tumble gal". She does not get saved by the handsome knight, but saves the day herself (with the help of her friends). Kudos to Disney for releasing a great movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A thrillng sequel to the best film of all time!
Review:
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.
