The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride Movie Reaction! 

I love how the scene with Rafiki talking to Mufasa basically boils down to them having a ship war

19:56 If you’re wondering why Zira looks like she’s smiling, the original storyboards went in a much darker direction. After Kiara offered to help Zira, Zira says “never”, and let’s go.

This is definitely one of the better Disney direct-to-dvd sequels. I love how the first movie was based on Hamlet, so this one's based on Romeo and Juliet. Kiara and Kovu are great together, Zira's a great villain, and "My Lullaby" and "Not One Of Us" are bangers.

This movie deserved a proper cinematic release, can you imagine this movie with the budget of the original.

One of the better sequels for me and one of the few who had good animation and actually felt like a movie not a failed tvshow lumped into a movie

Honestly my favourite direct-to-video sequel, and the songs have no right to go as hard as they do!

This is the BEST Disney sequel in my opinion. I grew up with this on VHS, I've watched it just as much as the original. Thanks for this man. Plus, fun fact: Kovu is played by Jason Marsden, a voice actor with a pretty stacked resume, especially with animation.

My lullaby is such a great underappreciated villain song

Lion King 2 is one of the few straight to video/dvd sequels that's actually good.

Honestly one of the few Disney sequels that was just as good, if not better than, the original movie

Simba also has a son in the cartoon series Lion Guard, Scar also comes back as a ghost of sorts.

The fact the Simba's Pride went directly to video but the lion king 1¹/² was in cinemas 😞

LETS GOOOO , one of Disney's best sequels!

Absolutely the BEST straight to DVD/VHS sequel Disney has ever put out! I love this movie!

Usually in a lion pride, there’s only one adult male lion, and if you’re still young enough to have cubs, he will kick his cubs out who are males once they reach adulthood, and they create their own pride, and that one line is the father for the Cubs And if another lion comes in, kills the old lion of the pride. Then he kills all the cups cause he doesn’t want any cups. That’s father by another lion.

oh thanks for seeing the sequel Simba's Pride, it was a good continuation of the story I think, besides Simba and Kiara's father-daughter relationship. "We are one" is one of my favorite songs from there

When you said Simba needs to go to therapy 😂😂I was like poor little tink tink

Out of all the songs in the movie, my top 4 favorites are "We Are One", My Lullaby", "Upendi" and "Not One Of Us"

“Everybody likes a bad boy” sir you didn’t have to call me out like that 😭

You got to give Jim Cummings massive credit that even though he only has a couple of lines, his imitation of Jeremy Irons (Scar) is spot on. After all, he did 1/4 of Be Prepared in the first movie.

2 important scenes that never made it thru the final cut because Disney back then thought it will be too dark and send bad messages. First we have Nukas death scene. His real last words: “I’m sorry mother, I tried. I guess I finally got your attention, didn’t I, didn't I?” This makes Zira even more barbaric, in that she didn't take Nuka's last words to heart and realize that she'd just thrown away Nuka's life in her quest to get vengeance on Simba. He didn't hate Kovu for being the chosen one. He hated Kovu because he got all the attention from Zira, completely neglecting Nuka. Only in his last moment he finally got his mother's affection. The other scene is Ziras death. Many have wondered why she smile when falling to her death. After Kiara says "Zira come on! I'll help you!" Then Zira grins and with something between a menacing, evil whisper and a hissing she says "No! Never!" And then she let it go, falling down. Her death was a suicide. She was too loyal to Scar to accept any deal with "the enemy".

this is the best Disney sequel

Another victim of Kovu's winning smile ;D

There is a dark theory out there that vitani is nala's daughter. She got pregnant from scar but had the cub in secret and gave her to zira after simba came back. There are a few things in this film that point to it. 1. The way that when vitani is talking to nala, she keeps angrily referencing naka'a pretty daughter 2. They have the same eyes. They look so similar except for the dark brown(the same fur colour as scar) tuft on the end of her tail

I'm not gonna lie, I actually prefer the sequel more then the original Lion King. Maybe it's just because I enjoyed reading Romeo & Juliet more then Hamlet in high school & that's why I like Lion King 2 more than 1.

14:06 technically Simba lead them there... I KNOW RIGHT?! I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC PART FOR LIKE TEN YEARS

I think Zira is a better villain than Scar and "Love Will Find a Way" is a better love song. Also, this movie was an awakening for a lot of people, myself included. Can you guess who? Hehehe

Just for context, one of the reasons he stated about familial relationship between Simba and Nala is why they stressed so heavily that is not scar so when he and Kiara got together, it wouldn’t be weird. I also love the fact that Shakespeare pairs so well with the Savannah, the original it was Hamlet and now in this one it’s Romeo and Juliet.

I’m glad you enjoyed one of Disney’s best sequels. In the Broadway musical, Mufasa sings “They Live In You” when teaching Simba about the Kings of the Past. When Adult Simba meets Rafiki years later and is visited by the spirit of Mufasa, they sing “He Lives In You” showing the lesson Simba is taught comes to a complete circle. If you did want do The Lion Guard but not all of it, I recommend the 3 specials (Return of the Roar, The Rise of Scar, and Battle for the Pride Lands) and S3 E10-19. 🦁👑✌️💛🧡❤️

I love the second one! my order of the movies from favorite to least is lion king2, lion king 1 1/2, lion king. I love all three and when I was 4 to around 6 the lion king was one of my favorite Disney movies that I watched on rotation constantly. in an actual pride there would only be one or two male lions and the others would be banished to make other prides- too many male lions messes up their breeding process and too many males creates jealousy within the prides, which is why the other males are kicked out. So, Disney only having 1-2 male lions in a pride in the lion king movies is accurate to real prides.

You should definitely check out The Lion Guard. Pretty solid series.

The animatic of Zira's death showered her very clearly jumping rather than falling and it kind of shows in the final animation, but it can be justified as, if her hindlegs were braced against the cliff when her forepaws slipped she'd sort of kick off in a similar way... Another interesting bit of trivia is that Vitani was originally supposed to be named Shetani, but they changed it. In the final battle, however, Nala accidentally refers to her by the wrong name. Again it could be an in-character mistake (or insult), but it is interesting...

This is actually one of my favourite Disney sequels! I like it even more than the original...but that could be because I had the VHS and watched it more than any of the other Disney VHSs I have (except Black Cauldron which is still one of my favourite Disney movies)

First off, really Eric? Nala is an animal so watch yourself. Secondly, what I like about this film is that it highlights Simba’s time as a ruler who is trying to uphold the values and core beliefs of his people about respecting the balance of nature because he saw it with his own eyes the devastation his uncle has unleashed in their homeland when the void was filled by a false leader. In doing so, he worked so hard to regain everything that was lost during Scar’s reign that even now, it still haunts him. When Kiara and Kovu got together, it showed him that the actions of their forefathers don’t define who they are, but instead, it’s theirs and theirs alone. Ergo, only we can determine our own destiny since Kovu was able to change his when he refused to follow the path that Scar supposedly chose for him.

A lot of the songs in this movie are also in the Broadway musical. It's also my favorite of The Lion King movies.

Lol at this being Romeo and Juliet of lions, since the first movie was Hamlet.

In real life its only two males in every pride so I love the accuracy

0:08 - Actually neither 😂, it’s talking about his daughter being the pride of his life.

don't worry. we all had a crush on Kovu

i love the lion king 2

Ahhh my fave Disney movie!!

Eric: Those are alligators or crocodiles. Me: It’s crocodiles. I would know cause alligators live in North America and crocodiles live in Africa and Asia

I recommend cats don’t dance

Are you also considering watching 'The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar'

The Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride is my # 1 favorite sequel film of all time. It is a perfect sequel to a film that’s also perfect. And the soundtrack is better than the first one’s On another note: This may just be my opinion but Zira easily stole the show

this is romeo and juliet, the first one is hamlet nuka is tybalt

Aw brilliant I love the lion king 2 good choice 😊

This is one of the few good Disney sequels along with Aladdin 3 and Cinderella 3. Then there are those who are just okay (Pocahontas 2, Little Mermaid 2 and 3, Jungle Book 2 and Peter Pan 2) and those who are complete trash (Aladdin 2, Belle's Magical World, Mulan 2, Atlantis 2, Hunchback 2, Lady and Tramp 2 etc)

Hey Eric, I got 3 movies you might reacted to Pinocchio (1940), Fun & Fancy Free (1947) and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988) if you didn’t watch the films, but Jiminy Cricket both appeared in those films, also Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy are both together in the full-length movie, and the three friends are make cameo appearance in Roger Rabbit film including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety Bird and others

its time for lion guard

Lion prides only (usually) consist of one male [the king] and a pride of females. If the males are born, they fight for their place as king of the pride once reaching adolescence, usually after 2 years. Losers basically get banished from the pride and become rogue lions, and they set off to fight other lions and attenot to make their own pride. (Hence Kovu saying "start a pride all our own") even if it means stealing females; if not dethroning another male. Not to say rogue lionesses aren't a thing either, but they're more on the rare side. But the males long story short are rogues. They leave or get kicked out of the pride if they can't take it over themselves.. sometimes multiple males if brothers/cousins actually stick together and they form little cliques of bachelor lions lol Nala's father was a rogue lion, be it that he didn't successfully steal Sarafina (Nala's mother) away from the pride, but thats why Simba and Nala are not related.. Mufasa although the king at the time, was not Sarafina's mate. It was a "bachelor" rogue lion who probably attempted to start his own pride and failed. I think in some cases, once the cub from another male is born, I think male.lions would try to kill the cub.. but hey; Disney. 😂

I think this film’s favouritism comes from having an emo kid, kind of similar how everyone liked Zuko from Avatar.

You react to Disney the lion guard

I... am 😮 fiiiiiiiirrrrrrrsssstttt😍😍😍😍

Would you see the series based on this or not? Just curious

Could you react to the DC Animated movies? Start with All-Star Superman or Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

Don’t know if you’re going to watch The series the lion guard where Kiara has a brother named Kion who gets to be the lion guard and change Kiara personality who wants to be Queen though

Did he say nala is a mlf. Don’t tell him about the fandom

Not a great film, but we got to see Andy Dick crushed by rocks, so that was pretty sweet.

You should watch the lion king live action
