@@TimotheeReacts: I enjoy The Lion King sequel more than the original. Maybe it's because I enjoyed reading Romeo & Juliet more than Hamlet when I was in high school.
And Lion King 1/2 is similar to "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" which is the retelling of Hamlet but im the point of view of minor background characters.
One of the best Disney direct-to-dvd sequels by far. The animation and ne characters are great, and the songs all slap, especially "My Lullaby" and "One Of Us".
There was supposed to be a scene when Mufasa tells Simba after he banished Kovu, Mufasa: "You have let your family _break apart._ And in doing so, YOU have *broken* the Circle of Life." James Earl Jones the voice of Mufasa says it in during one of the old trailers/previews. And to this day, I really cannot understand why! Why did they have to cut it out?? It's SOOO powerful and I really, REALLY love it!! ❤😫
Fun fact: There was a deleted scene where Zira jumps out of the cliff as a suicide. But obviously that was scrapped because it would be too dark for kids
Well, more like let's go off the cliff on her own free will. And you can still partially tell in this version, too, by the look in her eyes as she falls.
I know not everyone likes this movie, but I appreciated how this movie shows Simba is still dealing with his trauma and it didn't all get resolved at the end. I know there are fans who hated how Silva was portrayed in this movie but I love it. He is flawed, yet I understand why he acted the way he did. The trust issues with Scar loyalists and banishing them makes perfect sense considering his father ignored Star's resentment and kept him around, which gave Scar the opportunity to kill him. Simba not taking chances with them made sense. I do think this movie did more right than wrong for me and why I like this sequel. I was surprised to find out so many people hated it later in my life.
During the exile scene there is a great line “Someone once lied to us, now we’re not so blind” and kovu sees scars reflection in the puddle It goes to the fact that Simba is blinded by his anger towards Scar and sees scar in kovu
Yes I think his response is very reasonable and the dream is so sad as it show that he still blames himself and it made me pissed at kiara not even trying to understand that
I imagine that when Kovu asked Simba "...or am I to be blamed for a crime I didn't commit?" this had to have reminded Simba of how Scar pinned the blame for Mufasa's death on _him._
The "half-zebra" animals you mentioned are actually called "Okapi". A rare mammal native to the dense rainforests of the Congo, known for its unique appearance combining the striped legs of a zebra with the body shape of a giraffe, to which it is closely related. They also do not live in savannahs and actually prefer forest.
He Lives In You and Love Will Find A Way are my top two favorite songs in this Lion King sequel. It’s actually an impressive sequel film that wasn’t made for the sake of making a sequel. It dug into the lore further. And the return of Lebo M as music provider still adds to the African flair and culture.
So glad you guys watched this. It's probably the best direct-to-dvd sequels Disney ever made. The animation is almost as high quality as the original and the songs are great too. There's a fan theory explanation for why Zeera is obsessed with taking over the Pride Lands/getting revenge for Scar and why she was banished. The theory goes that she and Scar were mates when he was solo and had Vitani and Nuka. Scar realized that Nuka wasn't going to be a good heir after he took over and so he chose Kovu instead. When Scar died Simba and Nala had their cub but as revenge Zeera killed their cub and that's why they were banished to the Outlands. That is what Kovu meant by "a crime I didn't commit." Then Simba and Nala had Kiara as their second cub which is why Simba is overprotective of her. Even though there are a few plot discrepancies that don't line up with this theory, I still like to believe it. The plot line basically copy-paste's Romeo and Juliet, just like the first one replicates Hamlet. Also, an interesting side note is that the gorge that Nuka and Zeera die in is the same one where Mufasa died.
Fact: Zira in Swahili means 'hatred'. Represents her personality. Kiara and Kovu's original name was Nunka and Aisha. 3 cut scene: Kiara's news, Nuka's last word, and Zira's death. When Kiara offers help to Zira, she looks down a moment. Then, she refused by says "No. Never." With happy smile, and she let go herself to her doom.
I'm pretty sure I've said at least some of this before, but this was THE movie of my childhood, and still to this day one of the best animated movies ever made. Also the best Disney sequel, no doubt about it. This movie was also the inspiration of many hours spent playing outside when I was growing up. I had this friend at the time, and we spent a lot of time running around, lost in our world in which we were lions. She was always Kiara and I was Kovu.
So, after lion king 1,which is basically hamelet with lions, we now got lion king 2, aka rome & juliet with lion. Might just be me, but i think there's a pattern in there somewhere. Also, kinda sad they cut short the final scene with Zira. When she falls into the water, it's not because she lost her grip, but instead she let go on purpose, choosing death over accepting help from an "enemy". They cut out her choosing to let go, but you can still mostly tell by her expression as she falls. That's not the face of someone who's afraid of death.
I like this movie a lot especially I am interested in nukas last words since in an unused cut he also says welp.. I finally got your attention didn’t I? Didn’t I?. it just shows how much he wanted to be noticed.
Zira was nowhere to be seen in the first Lion King movie. Maybe while Scar was still alive with his legion of hyenas fighting against Simba & his friends & lionesses, Zira & her pride of lionesses loyal to Scar where hidden inside Pride Rick protecting Kovu as a cub, who Scar chose as his successor
My favorite childhood movie, with very beautiful songs like He likes in you, We are one, My lullaby and Upendi. Happy thursday, Tim, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
honestly as far as Disney sequels go this is one of the best :) they did really well with following up the first in terms of what the story was, the characters, the music was really solid as well, it did not embarrass itself despite having to stand next to such an amazing classic like the first movie :)
This was one of my favorite Disney sequels when I was kid! Besides the Romeo and Juliet factor, it also explores Simba’s role as a king. He believes he has to uphold the expectations of what his father wanted when he could actually made changes for the better. I think that’s why Kiara and Kovu had be the ones to unite both prides, to show what Simba had said was true. Sometimes the next generation can repair what the previous had left broken if given the chance. If you watch The Lion Guard, it explains how Zira and her pride was banished and fills in the year gaps. The next film to watch would be The Lion King 1 1/2 which is retelling the first film from Timon and Pumbaa’s point of view. 🦁👑✌️💛🧡❤️
I know not everyone likes this movie, but you can't deny that He Lives in You is FANTASTICALLY atmospheric! It even made its way into the broadway musical!
This is one of the sequels that I actually like and enjoyed and that it was really good 😊 I enjoyed the story and characters, Zira was a pretty good villain I would say and I liked that it was sort of Romeo and Juliet inspired when it came to Kiara and Kovu’s relationship with the two families separating them but they do come back to each other ❤️ The songs are still so amazing and I loved some of the returning and new voice cast too. Loved the reaction Tim and Malbread 😊😁🦁
Hi Tim and Malbread Great reaction to the Lion King 2 I really love this movie and the message it brings to the table the humor and character are all wonderful
So, here's some insights about the timeline: - Lions reach adulthood at about 2 years, and become old at 10 years. - It is typically seven years from one generation of cubs to the next. But what can we infer from this? - Simba was probably about a year old when Scar banished him, and spent maybe 3 years in exile before returning home. - Kovu is Zira's cub but not Scar's: Kovu, Vitani, and Kiara were all about the same age as each other (~1 year), making them younger than Scar's death. - Nuka, however, is clearly from a previous litter, and about 2-3 years old. The timeline fits that maybe HE could have been Scar's actual son ... implying he obviously inherited Scar's "shallow end of the gene pool".
2:19 they're called Okapi's. They're the only living relative of the Giraffe ( so if you ever wonder what a short necked giraffe looks like, look at an okapi) they're some what shy and prefer to live in forest( they are also called forest giraffes)
omg im so glad you enjoyed the movie because even years after watching it for the first time it is still my favorite movie ever and to me as you can probably tell from my pfp and username kovu is my favorite character of all time also i was wondering if you two could react to the lion guard trust me you will love it, the characters are awesome and badass,the songs are amazing and much more, i really enjoyed your reaction. oh and by the way there is one major detail that the movie is kind of vague about . so as you probably noticed zira doesnt really treat kovu too well and considering he was often flincing whenever shes mad as a cub it is unfortunately safe to assume to assume that zira was abusing kovu and she didnt even seem to care about him as a true mother. so...yeah kovu had a very cruel kind of cubhood/childhood
There is a massive fan theory that the reason Zira and the others were banished was because they had a hand in the death of Simbas first child Kopa. There were books before this movie came out about a child named Kopa, but the screenwriter for this movie didnt know about them so it was ignored. going with that the baby lion at the end of lion king was clearly doesnt look like Kiara at the begining of this movie. And so the theory was born. Kiara also has a cannon little brother named Kion in the series "The Lion Guard" and the series explains why he isnt in this movie, as he was off on his own adventures.
Well done Tim and Malbread for watching The Lion King 2 Simba's Pride today and there's 1 more to watch is The Lion King 1/2 to complete the trilogy of The Lion King with new characters OK.
Out of all the songs in the movie, my top 4 favorites are "We Are One", My Lullaby", "Upendi" and "Not One Of Us" Also, the first and second Lion King take loose inspiration from William Shakespeare's storytelling. The Lion King-Hamlet The Lion King II: Simba's Pride-Romeo & Juliet (the only differences are that this involves two warring prides of lions and neither of the star-crossed lovers die to unite their families)
(In the sky, Simba begins to notice very dark clouds starting to surround above Pride Rock. Large swirls and gusts of wind suddenly form together as the face of Mufasa appears. However, unlike the bright, shining gold glows with shimmering rays of sunlight, this was a moment of great darkness ⚫⬛ with thunder 🌩 & lightning ⚡and harsh winds 🌪 blowing. And a form of an angry and disappointed Mufasa with eyes of flaming fire. 👀🔥 As he speaks, Mufasa's voice booms loudly, almost shaking the whole earth and begins souning like a raging storm at the sea) Mufasa: SIMBA!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?! 👿 Simba: (looks up in great astonishment) Huh?? FATHER???? 🤯 Mufasa: So, you _banished_ Kovu without letting him explain himself for what REALLY happened?! And, to _confine_ your own daughter, Kiara, in Pride Rock like she is a *prisoner* just because of what happened?!?! I am VERY disappointed in you! 👿 (Simba speaks to his father and tries to explain) Simba: But Father!! Kovu *used* Kiara to get me! It's because he lied to me and ALL OF US and he was out _there_ to get me!!! Mufasa: At first, YES, Simba. He was raised by hateful and vengeful lionesses to be a weapon! He had NO CHOICE but to escape! And Kiara *saved* him from their hurtful lies and deceitfulness and he wanted to tell you about Zira's plot! And he is NOT involved with the ambush! Simba: But Zira also made it specifically clear to me, Father, that Kovu is Scar's chosen heir AND protégé, trained to assassinate this whole time! I *KNOW* he is following Scar's paw prints, just as I am following yours! And, if I hadn't escaped, then he would have come back and taken over Pride Rock and have Kiara, Nala, Mother, and EVERYONE ELSE dead!!!! Mufasa: No, she WOULDN'T, Simba. 👿 And how DARE you be so cold to her!?!?! She knows Kovu WAY BETTER than you or everyone else around her and she *knows* that Kovu loves her with all his heart ❤ and very much as well! And Simba, Kiara is NOT a cub anymore. She is a full-grown *adult* now and she is _old enough_ to make her own choices and decisions and is smart enough to be a judge of character! You have absolute NO RIGHT to _trap_ her in Pride Rock and treat her like a child! Simba: But she is STILL young, Father! Because she doesn't know what she wants! And whether she likes it or not, Kovu will *NEVER* come back here in the Pridelands EVER AGAIN!! Because I am king and _I_ "make my OWN choices and decisions"! I don't need any of your cubbish prince lessons be poured out on me, because I am NOT a cub anymore!! I am a *father* and *THE KING* now! I know EXACTLY how to be and act like one!!! EVERYTHING I say is law! I've ALWAYS been right and I am EXACTLY right about Kovu! He *_deserves_* to suffer as I did and my choice is final! *ADMIT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢 (Suddenly, loud claps and strikes of lightning ⚡⚡⚡⚡ flash right infront of Simba and are heard throughout the whole Pridelands, almost shaking the whole earth. Simba, startled and caught by attention, immediately takes a leap back as Mufasa glare daggers down at his son. His grand eyes flaming grow more bigger and hotter than the ever. Even more hotter than the sun.) Mufasa: What has happened to you, my son?! 👿 You have become even MORE colder and bitter over ALL these years?? Kiara is absolutely right. You can never be me. She is more of an adult than you are because she is willing to give others another chance while you, on the other paw, *isolate* them and are cruel to almost every single being that ever crosses here into the Pridelands! You are NOT being me, Simba. Simba: (retorts stubbornly in a haughty voice) Then what am I being, Father??? What am I being besides you????? Mufasa: Simba, you are acting and becoming the very most hated enemy you have ALWAYS hated for all your entire life: you are becoming... *Scar.* Simba: (gasps in great horror) FATHER!!! 😨😨 NO!! THAT'S NOT TRUE!!! That's a lie!!! *YOU'RE LYING!!!!* I am being just like you! You are completely lying to me! I know you are!!! I feel _THAT_ in my blood and veins!! I am NOT AT ALL acting or becoming my tyrannical uncle! Because I acting and have become just like you! I am doing EXACTLY how you were acting as king!! Don't you dare lie to your firstborn son, Father. DON'T YOU EVER DARE!!!!!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Mufasa: (his eyes and mouth pour out massive flames) *SILENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿 And no, it is not a lie, Simba. It's true! Because all your entire life, you have been treating Kiara nothing but a *slave* AND a *spare part!* You have never *EVER* not even one, single. Moment. Told her you loved her! Nor that you had shown her ANY compassion whatsoever, towards her either! You have never been giving her any chances and only start thinking of yourself! And if you don't change all of your terrible and miserable ways and let go of your hatred, Simba, not only will everyone turn against you, you will lose Nala, Kiara, and everybody else who looks up to you and you will fall to the *Dark Side* and become an evil doer just as Scar ever was. And I hope you are prepared to face the consequences if that's the case, SO. BE. IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿 (Simba looks up at his father in great fear and pleads for mercy) Simba: PLEASE, FATHER!! You cannot do this to me! 😰🥺 I am the King and the protector of the Pridelands! And what I am doing to Kiara is the *right thing* because I love her VERY much with all my heart and I don't want the _same thing_ happen to her just how I lost _YOU_ long ago! Besides, I only want what's BEST for our kingdom and homeland. I am the "one, *true* king". You've told me that, remember????? Mufasa: Yes, but there's MORE to the Circle of Life that you didn't know, Simba. Simba: (looks up in surprise) There is, Father???? Mufasa: Yes, Simba. There is. Because according to the Great Kings of the Past, they told me and saw that it was broken. During Scar's reign, he had *brainwashed* about almost every single lion and lioness that used to live here in Pride Rock and he took away about almost every single one of them with him! And all this entire time, I've been trying to fix it until you ruined it! 👿👿👿 Simba: Father, y-you mean- 😨😰😰 Mufasa: That's right, Simba. You have let your family _break apart._ And in doing so, YOU have *broken* the Circle of Life. You have failed the goals of my paw prints and let the Circle of Life be broken. It was broken before, and I have been trying to make it good as new because your daughter, Kiara, was *the key* 🔑 to fixing it: by falling for Kovu and have both prides be all joined back together and become one again. But now, thanks to you, because of your: Hatred Irrational Insolent Arrogance Irrelevant Contemptuous Ignorance Rude Disrespectful Immature Selfish Cold AND bitter behavior, it's even *MORE WORSE* than before!! 👿👿👿👿 I governed the Pridelands in a way that was balanced and firm for a reason but fair to all those that lived there in the great Circle of Life. Simba: The Circle of Life is broken?? Because of... ME?!?! 😧 And Kiara was *the key* 🔑 to fixing it???? 🤯 BUT FATHER!! I can explain- Mufasa: NO, SIMBA. And even if being the "protector of the Pridelands" especially to your own daughter, is NOT the _same thing_ as being the one, *true,* king. Simba: It's not, Father? Mufasa: No, Simba. It's not. And now, it's either you apologize to Kiara for everything you had ever done to her or else, the GREATEST fate of the Pridelands will be in your paws for the rest of your life. The End. Note: So what do you guys think? Do you believe that this scene/script really should have been put in the sequel to make it very absolute and valid?
The lion cub at the end of the first film is not the same as in the second film. Simba and Nala had a child before Kiara, called Kopa, who is not introduced in the films but features in a collection of books. And there's an auraot theory that Kopa was killed by Zira (or fled the pride land) in revenge, which is why Simba is so protective of Kiara.
44:33 fun fact if you look at Zira's face while she fell to her death, she has a smile on her face even though she's screaming. This is because this wasn't the original plan for how Zira would die. Originally when Kiara tried to help her Zira replied"Never" and willing fell to her death with a smile on her face.
@Jafuaforlife3246 that's because nobody is better fit for Timon and pumbaa like Nathan Lane and earnie Sabella. Sorry, not sorry, Seth rogan and Billy Eichner
@@MohamadNadi agreed on that one. Nathan lane and Ernie Sabella were the perfect Timon and Pumbaa. Sorry, Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner, but we need the Timon and Pumbaa characters we remember and love
I still have lion king 2 movie vcd at home. Second movie has better ost than the first movie, in my opinion. But i like the first movie better bcs of the plot, male lion refuse to be king when he grows up but has to take over his kingdom from evil uncle. The second movie is too much of romance not my cup of tea.
Apparently: Kovu's brother is actually Scar's son, who Scar ignored. Their mother had a second, stronger son with a different lion and she decided he would follow in Scar's paw prints.
Please do The Lion King 1 1/2 for the second time 🙏 Another thing: Mickey Mouse and Friends, Disney Princess, Peter Pan, Tinker-Bell, Grumpy, Aladdin, Genie, Stitch, Dumbo, Mowgli and Baloo we’re making their own cameo appearances in it
The half zebra animals you're refering to in the beginning are called Okapi, they are the closest living to the Giraffe as many other kinds are naturally extinct, mostly due to environmental factors.
This is like Romeo and Juliet story. In Africa country, two tribes of lions never make peace to each territory. Mufasa found the way how to solve the problem. Kovu and Kiara will solved the problem by living together in peace
2:19 its called an okapi it's family of the giraffe 👍😁 Don't know why they have zebra patterns, did you know that a zebra is black with white stripes, a zebra's skin is actually dark!
I thought this movie was an okay sequel to the first one. Like the songs are good, Kiara is a likable character, and the story is fine. It was an okay follow up for what it is.

I like how, since the first movie took inspiration from Shakespeare's Hamlet, the second took inspiration from Romeo and Juliet. And it works so well.

This is a rare instance of a Disney Sequel thats actually good.
If the first movie was a 10/10 I'd give this one a 9.5/10
Right next to Aladdin 3 and Cinderella 3

During the exile scene there is a great line
“Someone once lied to us, now we’re not so blind” and kovu sees scars reflection in the puddle

The way Simba was overprotective of Kiara was very understandable considering everything that he went through when he was a cub.
RIP James Earl Jones. Even though Mufasa made a few appearances and had two lines in this sequel, just having him return in TLK 2 was very nice.

I still think it’s worthy of the original movie. It did manage to bring most of the original voice cast back along with new ones.
21:17 Zira is psychotic. The way she slashed that tree branch and sounded like a demon
I have this movie on VHS and I loved it 👍💯. I miss the old days 😭.

I do suggest you two should check out another lion king movie. That's The Lion king 1 1/2. A movie about how timon and pumbaa meet
In the lion guard cartoon Simba has a son so he and Nala have 2 kids
It wasn't Simba's fault that Scar died, it was the hyenas fault that Scar died. But Zira doesn't know that.

Hi Tim and Malbread
Great reaction to the Lion King 2 I really love this movie and the message it brings to the table the humor and character are all wonderful
Zira is a lot scarier than Scar in some aspects. "My Lullaby" is right up there with "Be Prepared".
So, here's some insights about the timeline:
- Lions reach adulthood at about 2 years, and become old at 10 years.
- It is typically seven years from one generation of cubs to the next.
But what can we infer from this?
- Simba was probably about a year old when Scar banished him, and spent maybe 3 years in exile before returning home.
- Kovu is Zira's cub but not Scar's: Kovu, Vitani, and Kiara were all about the same age as each other (~1 year), making them younger than Scar's death.
- Nuka, however, is clearly from a previous litter, and about 2-3 years old. The timeline fits that maybe HE could have been Scar's actual son ... implying he obviously inherited Scar's "shallow end of the gene pool".
Im ngl I actually like the 2nd, mainly because you wanted something new storyline from the well known original, so yeah I rate this 8/10
2:19 they're called Okapi's. They're the only living relative of the Giraffe ( so if you ever wonder what a short necked giraffe looks like, look at an okapi) they're some what shy and prefer to live in forest( they are also called forest giraffes)
It has the big tongue like a giraffe and somewhat has the body of a zebra considering the fact they got stripes on their legs
I met one for the first time at London Zoo recently, very fascinating creature
@@DeLion_1612 great
@@sholabolaji2975 the whole head is a giraffe just without spots
I enjoy The Lion King sequel more than the original. Maybe it's because I enjoyed reading Romeo & Juliet more than Hamlet when I was in high school.
"You murdered your own brother!" I thought Kovu being like Scar was what you wanted, Zira. lol
Fun fact:Kovu in swahili translates to the name Scar
omg im so glad you enjoyed the movie because even years after watching it for the first time it is still my favorite movie ever and to me as you can probably tell from my pfp and username kovu is my favorite character of all time also i was wondering if you two could react to the lion guard trust me you will love it, the characters are awesome and badass,the songs are amazing and much more, i really enjoyed your reaction. oh and by the way there is one major detail that the movie is kind of vague about . so as you probably noticed zira doesnt really treat kovu too well and considering he was often flincing whenever shes mad as a cub it is unfortunately safe to assume to assume that zira was abusing kovu and she didnt even seem to care about him as a true mother. so...yeah kovu had a very cruel kind of cubhood/childhood
There is a massive fan theory that the reason Zira and the others were banished was because they had a hand in the death of Simbas first child Kopa.
There were books before this movie came out about a child named Kopa, but the screenwriter for this movie didnt know about them so it was ignored. going with that the baby lion at the end of lion king was clearly doesnt look like Kiara at the begining of this movie. And so the theory was born. Kiara also has a cannon little brother named Kion in the series "The Lion Guard" and the series explains why he isnt in this movie, as he was off on his own adventures.
Well done Tim and Malbread for watching The Lion King 2 Simba's Pride today and there's 1 more to watch is The Lion King 1/2 to complete the trilogy of The Lion King with new characters OK.
The lion guard is about their son Kion. And they even explain where he was during the second half of the movie and why he wasn’t there
I honestly think it would have been better if Kion was Kovu and Kiara's son.
Out of all the songs in the movie, my top 4 favorites are "We Are One", My Lullaby", "Upendi" and "Not One Of Us"
Also, the first and second Lion King take loose inspiration from William Shakespeare's storytelling.
The Lion King-Hamlet
The Lion King II: Simba's Pride-Romeo & Juliet (the only differences are that this involves two warring prides of lions and neither of the star-crossed lovers die to unite their families)
41:41 - 41:53 My part favorite of movie 😂😂😂😂😂😂
30:16 Ambush
Hey Guys
Here's a Cool Fact
Kiara(Adult) is voiced by The Legendary Scream Queen Neve Campbell aka Sidney Prescott from The Scream Trilogy
(In the sky, Simba begins to notice very dark clouds starting to surround above Pride Rock. Large swirls and gusts of wind suddenly form together as the face of Mufasa appears. However, unlike the bright, shining gold glows with shimmering rays of sunlight, this was a moment of great darkness ⚫⬛ with thunder 🌩 & lightning ⚡and harsh winds 🌪 blowing. And a form of an angry and disappointed Mufasa with eyes of flaming fire. 👀🔥 As he speaks, Mufasa's voice booms loudly, almost shaking the whole earth and begins souning like a raging storm at the sea)
Mufasa: SIMBA!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?! 👿
Simba: (looks up in great astonishment) Huh?? FATHER???? 🤯
Mufasa: So, you _banished_ Kovu without letting him explain himself for what REALLY happened?! And, to _confine_ your own daughter, Kiara, in Pride Rock like she is a *prisoner* just because of what happened?!?! I am VERY disappointed in you! 👿
(Simba speaks to his father and tries to explain)
Simba: But Father!! Kovu *used* Kiara to get me! It's because he lied to me and ALL OF US and he was out _there_ to get me!!!
Mufasa: At first, YES, Simba. He was raised by hateful and vengeful lionesses to be a weapon! He had NO CHOICE but to escape! And Kiara *saved* him from their hurtful lies and deceitfulness and he wanted to tell you about Zira's plot! And he is NOT involved with the ambush!
Simba: But Zira also made it specifically clear to me, Father, that Kovu is Scar's chosen heir AND protégé, trained to assassinate this whole time! I *KNOW* he is following Scar's paw prints, just as I am following yours! And, if I hadn't escaped, then he would have come back and taken over Pride Rock and have Kiara, Nala, Mother, and EVERYONE ELSE dead!!!!
Mufasa: No, she WOULDN'T, Simba. 👿 And how DARE you be so cold to her!?!?! She knows Kovu WAY BETTER than you or everyone else around her and she *knows* that Kovu loves her with all his heart ❤ and very much as well! And Simba, Kiara is NOT a cub anymore. She is a full-grown *adult* now and she is _old enough_ to make her own choices and decisions and is smart enough to be a judge of character! You have absolute NO RIGHT to _trap_ her in Pride Rock and treat her like a child!
Simba: But she is STILL young, Father! Because she doesn't know what she wants! And whether she likes it or not, Kovu will *NEVER* come back here in the Pridelands EVER AGAIN!! Because I am king and _I_ "make my OWN choices and decisions"! I don't need any of your cubbish prince lessons be poured out on me, because I am NOT a cub anymore!! I am a *father* and *THE KING* now! I know EXACTLY how to be and act like one!!! EVERYTHING I say is law! I've ALWAYS been right and I am EXACTLY right about Kovu! He *_deserves_* to suffer as I did and my choice is final! *ADMIT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢💢
(Suddenly, loud claps and strikes of lightning ⚡⚡⚡⚡ flash right infront of Simba and are heard throughout the whole Pridelands, almost shaking the whole earth. Simba, startled and caught by attention, immediately takes a leap back as Mufasa glare daggers down at his son. His grand eyes flaming grow more bigger and hotter than the ever. Even more hotter than the sun.)
Mufasa: What has happened to you, my son?! 👿 You have become even MORE colder and bitter over ALL these years?? Kiara is absolutely right. You can never be me. She is more of an adult than you are because she is willing to give others another chance while you, on the other paw, *isolate* them and are cruel to almost every single being that ever crosses here into the Pridelands! You are NOT being me, Simba.
Simba: (retorts stubbornly in a haughty voice) Then what am I being, Father??? What am I being besides you?????
Mufasa: Simba, you are acting and becoming the very most hated enemy you have ALWAYS hated for all your entire life: you are becoming... *Scar.*
Simba: (gasps in great horror) FATHER!!! 😨😨 NO!! THAT'S NOT TRUE!!! That's a lie!!! *YOU'RE LYING!!!!* I am being just like you! You are completely lying to me! I know you are!!! I feel _THAT_ in my blood and veins!! I am NOT AT ALL acting or becoming my tyrannical uncle! Because I acting and have become just like you! I am doing EXACTLY how you were acting as king!! Don't you dare lie to your firstborn son, Father. DON'T YOU EVER DARE!!!!!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Mufasa: (his eyes and mouth pour out massive flames) *SILENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿 And no, it is not a lie, Simba. It's true! Because all your entire life, you have been treating Kiara nothing but a *slave* AND a *spare part!* You have never *EVER* not even one, single. Moment. Told her you loved her! Nor that you had shown her ANY compassion whatsoever, towards her either! You have never been giving her any chances and only start thinking of yourself! And if you don't change all of your terrible and miserable ways and let go of your hatred, Simba, not only will everyone turn against you, you will lose Nala, Kiara, and everybody else who looks up to you and you will fall to the *Dark Side* and become an evil doer just as Scar ever was. And I hope you are prepared to face the consequences if that's the case, SO. BE. IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿
(Simba looks up at his father in great fear and pleads for mercy)
Simba: PLEASE, FATHER!! You cannot do this to me! 😰🥺 I am the King and the protector of the Pridelands! And what I am doing to Kiara is the *right thing* because I love her VERY much with all my heart and I don't want the _same thing_ happen to her just how I lost _YOU_ long ago! Besides, I only want what's BEST for our kingdom and homeland. I am the "one, *true* king". You've told me that, remember?????
Mufasa: Yes, but there's MORE to the Circle of Life that you didn't know, Simba.
Simba: (looks up in surprise) There is, Father????
Mufasa: Yes, Simba. There is. Because according to the Great Kings of the Past, they told me and saw that it was broken. During Scar's reign, he had *brainwashed* about almost every single lion and lioness that used to live here in Pride Rock and he took away about almost every single one of them with him! And all this entire time, I've been trying to fix it until you ruined it! 👿👿👿
Simba: Father, y-you mean- 😨😰😰
Mufasa: That's right, Simba. You have let your family _break apart._ And in doing so, YOU have *broken* the Circle of Life. You have failed the goals of my paw prints and let the Circle of Life be broken. It was broken before, and I have been trying to make it good as new because your daughter, Kiara, was *the key* 🔑 to fixing it: by falling for Kovu and have both prides be all joined back together and become one again. But now, thanks to you, because of your:
Hatred
Irrational
Insolent
Arrogance
Irrelevant
Contemptuous
Ignorance
Rude
Disrespectful
Immature
Selfish
Cold AND bitter behavior, it's even *MORE WORSE* than before!! 👿👿👿👿 I governed the Pridelands in a way that was balanced and firm for a reason but fair to all those that lived there in the great Circle of Life.
Simba: The Circle of Life is broken?? Because of... ME?!?! 😧 And Kiara was *the key* 🔑 to fixing it???? 🤯 BUT FATHER!! I can explain-
Mufasa: NO, SIMBA. And even if being the "protector of the Pridelands" especially to your own daughter, is NOT the _same thing_ as being the one, *true,* king.
Simba: It's not, Father?
Mufasa: No, Simba. It's not. And now, it's either you apologize to Kiara for everything you had ever done to her or else, the GREATEST fate of the Pridelands will be in your paws for the rest of your life.
The End.
Note: So what do you guys think? Do you believe that this scene/script really should have been put in the sequel to make it very absolute and valid?
Good reaction bro 😊😊
The lion cub at the end of the first film is not the same as in the second film. Simba and Nala had a child before Kiara, called Kopa, who is not introduced in the films but features in a collection of books. And there's an auraot theory that Kopa was killed by Zira (or fled the pride land) in revenge, which is why Simba is so protective of Kiara.
I will go an watxh the new movie mufasa today on the 27. December i waited for months and im so excited 😅❤
44:33 fun fact if you look at Zira's face while she fell to her death, she has a smile on her face even though she's screaming. This is because this wasn't the original plan for how Zira would die. Originally when Kiara tried to help her Zira replied"Never" and willing fell to her death with a smile on her face.
I love this movie
The one true lion king
As far as direct to video sequals this was the best
Agreed. I love watching this movie on Disney plus. Especially The Lion King 1 1/2. They better react to that one. It’s a good one
@Jafuaforlife3246 that's because nobody is better fit for Timon and pumbaa like Nathan Lane and earnie Sabella. Sorry, not sorry, Seth rogan and Billy Eichner
@@MohamadNadi Nah cause I watched Mufasa and for the first time ever I was annoyed by Timone and Pumba 💀
@zy1an yeah but again that's not the true Timon and pumbaa they aren't the same without their original actors
@@MohamadNadi agreed on that one. Nathan lane and Ernie Sabella were the perfect Timon and Pumbaa. Sorry, Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner, but we need the Timon and Pumbaa characters we remember and love
Check out also Lion Guard series. Pretty good.
1:26 RIP 🙏🏻
Always live within us 🦁
Definitely a good beauty and peace with Kovu and Kiara. 45:33 LOVE! 💕
2:49 GIRL?! Oi!
If lion King was Hamlet simbas Pride was Romeo and juliet
Ps Simba has ptsd in the movie
11/2 was Rosencrantz and Guilderstern are dead.
3:04 "you could get stepped on"
As he steps on her tail
15:40 It’s kind of shame that the Hyenas were absent in this sequel. Fortunately, they do return in TLK 1 1/2.
Amazing reaction ❤
1:58 Well, even if Mufasa is dead, he wasn’t going to miss his granddaughter’s ceremony.
Thank you, most people don’t react to this one
I still have lion king 2 movie vcd at home. Second movie has better ost than the first movie, in my opinion. But i like the first movie better bcs of the plot, male lion refuse to be king when he grows up but has to take over his kingdom from evil uncle. The second movie is too much of romance not my cup of tea.
I love the sequel its good but not as great as the first one scar is too iconic❤
Apparently: Kovu's brother is actually Scar's son, who Scar ignored. Their mother had a second, stronger son with a different lion and she decided he would follow in Scar's paw prints.
The animal with the zebra legs is called an okapi, and its closest living relative is the giraffe.
This is one of the best Disney Sequels from early 2000's like Little Mermaid 2 and Cinderella 3
There’s also The Lion King 1½ (known internationally as The Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata) that shows the first film from Timone and Pumba’s perspective.
Please do The Lion King 1 1/2 for the second time 🙏
Another thing:
Mickey Mouse and Friends, Disney Princess, Peter Pan, Tinker-Bell, Grumpy, Aladdin, Genie, Stitch, Dumbo, Mowgli and Baloo we’re making their own cameo appearances in it
1:07 that summary from google.......
Kovu was adopted by zera and scar but he's not scar's eldest son
I was pretty sure zero was his real mother though
@invadertifxiii I think nuka says that kovu isn't her real son meaning by blood
@thenerdytiger9306 I thought it was scar
You can tell that at some point, the writers realized they had made their star-crossed loves cousins.
"I'm the oldest. I'm the strongest. I'm the smartest, OOH THESE TERMITES!"😅😂🤣
31:33-31:58 I’m glad Nuka is dead. 36:43-37:31 anyway, this is my favorite song of the same sequel.
The wise king says “We are one”
The half zebra animals you're refering to in the beginning are called Okapi, they are the closest living to the Giraffe as many other kinds are naturally extinct, mostly due to environmental factors.
This is like Romeo and Juliet story. In Africa country, two tribes of lions never make peace to each territory. Mufasa found the way how to solve the problem. Kovu and Kiara will solved the problem by living together in peace
Not surprising, giving that the first movie was Hamlet with lions.
2:19 its called an okapi it's family of the giraffe 👍😁
Don't know why they have zebra patterns, did you know that a zebra is black with white stripes, a zebra's skin is actually dark!
16:24 It's cartoon logic, don't question it.
Next up The Lion King 1 1/2
I was born in 98😊
The first Lion King was inspired by The Hamlet and as you can obviously tell the sequel was inspired by Romeo and Juliet.
I used to have a crush on kouv..
Simba voice is too soft for a king, not intimidating at all imo haha a complete opposite to Mufasa.
It’s similar to a Shakespeare’s ROMEO AND JULIET
I thought this movie was an okay sequel to the first one. Like the songs are good, Kiara is a likable character, and the story is fine. It was an okay follow up for what it is.
It's way better than the first film
@ No way. Nothing tops the first movie.
I'm a simp for sure. Malbread just makes me fold.
Nice video Tim you now simba's pride is defenettly beter then Mufasa preaqel to day
Is not her son
19:02 Tim Africa doesn't have alligators, only crocodiles
Gonna have to save this to watch when I'm in a less Disney-can-burn mood; this is probably my favorite childhood movie and I'm glad you watched it!
Wait until you see lion King 1 1/2it’s an interesting story
The music in the sequel is underrated.
I like this movie the lion king 2 it’s was a long time ago remember me funny moments..
BEST DISNEY MOVIE OF MY CHILDHOOD!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Can you guys watch mufasa
Merry Christmas 🎄 🎁 Tim
In the deleted scene where Zira dies, Zira says ‘never’ and commits suicide.
