Summary: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly Warthog....
Review: For plot content, I give it 4*'s. The overall story is well done. I like the ideas presented and the reunification of the entire pride at the end drives home the We Are One message. For characterization, I give it 4*'s. The only character I had problems with in this was Simba. Disney changed him from a heroic young leader into an erratic, overprotective father. I understand some of the underlying reasons, but they went a bit too far. For songs, I give it 2*'s. We Are One and He Lives In You are the only good ones. Animation quality gets 5*s. Best I've seen in a straight to video sequel. If you liked Lion King, then buy it. It is worth watching. I would buy it on DVD if they included the deleted scenes. They really should have left them in!

Summary: Worth watching, but not as good as the original.
Review: In fact not NEARLY as good as the original, due to a rather weak plot and some even weaker musical sequences. But it has some worthwhile viewing even so. Two song sequences are very well done: "We Are One" and "Lullaby"(even better than "Be Prepared" IMO) And something unusual for Disney(minor spolier): the fact that when one of the villains is killed, we actually feel SORRY for them! Wow. An excellent message to send the kids: Death is not something to cheer at, even when it's the bad guy. And another villain actually switches sides and becomes a good guy! Incredible! Too bad the rest of the movie was so poor. Could have been a whole lot better

Summary: Lion King 2 avoid like a swearing habit!
Review: My dad rented this. I've only seen it once to realize it's not worth your time and energy fretting over. Watch Toy Story 2 instead it's funnier and has a noteworthy plot.

Summary: Better than Lion King!
Review: Simba's Pride is even better than the Lion King...and I'll tell you why: -The music is even better than Elton John's the Circle of Life in the first movie. Especially good is music for the opening sequence. The music has an african tone, similar to Paul Simon's forays in this area. And I found it very uplifting. -The plot is "inclusive" rather than "exclusive". In Lion King, a group of lion's are exiled from the plain by the lion king. In Simba's Pride, these old grudges from previous generations are, albeit with some difficulty and drama, overcome. And the differences in the pride are reconciled. For this reason alone, I think it is a better movie for kids. -The central character is a girl lion, named Kiara. This breaks down some subtle gender overtones set in the first movie. But the characters are good too. Rafiki the monkey, Kiara the lion. Hey, I bought it for my son and daughter, but I have to admit I like it too. And like most movies you buy for your kids, you end up seeing them a hundred times each, you might as well buy a good one.

Summary: Good Movie
Review: This was a good movie, espically if you like the Disney Classics. The first one was better, but I still suggest this movie.

Summary: Good follow up to the original
Review: "Lion King II: Simba's Pride" might not be just like the original Lion King, but it's still a good movie. In this one, Simba has a daughter, Kiara, who will one day be the new princess. Some conflict arises when Kiara meets and grows fond of Kovu, a young cub from the Outsiders. Simba must find a way to deal with Kovu and the Outsiders who reign from Scar before something bad happens. I think "Lion King II: Simba's Pride" should've premiered at the theatres because it is a good movie, and it probably would've been a big hit. It has a good story, good music, and it's almost as good as the original in my opinion. If you liked the original Lion King movie, I would definitely recommend getting this one.

Summary: An okay movie, but does not add up the the first AT ALL
Review: I liked this movie somewhat. However, there were several things that I didn't like about this one. First of all, this movie was clearly marketed towards young children, in contrast the the first, which was marketed for young adults. Meaning, that if a young child sees this one, the parent will most likely allow them to watch the first. That is not a good choice. The material in that one, is far to graphic for a very young child. Just to note that. Some of the voices are different and many of the characters are not at all the same as they were in TLK. The animation was not well done, and the soundtrack was horrible. The character of Zira just annoyed me to no end. Mufasa's ghost is used as a commonplace thing. When in the first, it was to set his son straight. Simba suffers from obsessive father complex, which makes no sense comparing his character in the first movie. Nala's character (and voice) is to much like Simba's mother, Sarabi. (And, how did her eyes turn from green, to deep blue over a time period of a few months?) However, I did like the characters of Kovu and Kiara. I would suggest this movie to young kids, But please, for their sake, don't let them see the first untill they are older.

Summary: Take "pride" in this sequel!
Review: I LOVE the original Lion King, but when Disney announced that they were doing a sequel to it I got rather miffed....the other sequels (like the second Aladdin) were an insult to one's intelligence.But when I at last saw Simba's Pride I was totally thrilled. It introduced new great characters, enchanting songs, the story was kept pretty much in the spirit of the original and, even though they probably never thought of doing a sequel when they made the first one, the story's sequel was cleverly done. The only things I didn't like about this movie was that Rowan Atkinson (who did Zazu's voice in the original) apparently couldn't supply his voice for the sequel so you can tell it's someone else's voice. Unlike in the original, the other animals (zebra's, giraffes, etc.) have a few speaking parts and even take part in one of the songs. The animation isn't as good as the original but it's still great and I thought a lot better than the other Disney sequels.These are just minor things of course, I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to animation. I love this as much as the orignal and I truly hope they do yet another Lion King sequel.

Summary: *****
Review: This movie is very powerful and can have a lasting impression on you. It's a great movie for kids, because it has their favorite charcters, and it's a great movie for adults because it helps to teach their children that parents want what's best for them but are not always right. One thing that disturbed me though was that Simba has completely shaken off the happy care-free lion that everyone loves. He is now just too strict and expectant of others. But when he banished Kovu in the song One of Us, I just wanted to pull Simba's tail off for doing that. It was such a wonderful movie, I have to fight to hold back tears.
