Jeremy Irons, who voiced Scar in the first film, was replaced by Jim Cummings, who briefly provided his singing voice in the first film. Rowan Atkinson, who voiced Zazu in the first film, was replaced by Edward Hibbert for both this film and The Lion King 1½ (2004). Most of the original cast returned to their roles from the first film with a few exceptions. Separated by Simba's prejudice against the banished pride and a vindictive plot planned by Kovu's mother Zira, Kiara and Kovu struggle to unite their estranged prides and be together.
Produced by Walt Disney Video Premiere and animated by Walt Disney Animation Australia, the film centers on Simba and Nala's daughter Kiara, who falls in love with Kovu, a male rogue lion from a banished pride that was once loyal to Simba's evil uncle, Scar. According to director Darrell Rooney, the final draft gradually became a variation of Romeo and Juliet. It is the sequel to Disney's 1994 animated feature film, The Lion King, with its plot influenced by William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and the second installment in The Lion King trilogy. The season introduced three new characters, such as Smolder, Little Jimmy, and Leslie Lambeau.The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (also titled as The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride) is a 1998 American animated direct-to-video musical romantic drama film. Most of the recurring characters from the first two seasons were notably absent, such as Simba, Speedy the Snail, Boss Beaver, Fred, Irwin, the Vulture Police, Rabbit, Toucan Dan, and the natives. The season further expanded on Timon and Pumbaa's jungle home, as it introduced more new animal characters as well as specific locations, such as Dismal Swamp and Big Bug Valley. Unlike the first two seasons, the third season focused entirely on Timon and Pumbaa and their Hakuna Matata lifestyle, as it did not have any segments focusing on any of the film's other supporting characters. These episodes premiered in the United States on the now-defunct Toon Disney in 1999. The episodes now open with the same title card artwork that is used in " Catch Me if You Kenya" and the Timon & Pumbaa logo that usually appeared at the frame is gone. For this season, the show had a new set of writers and directors and was produced by the Canadian animation studio Studio B Productions for Walt Disney Television Animation. It is the final season of the series.Īfter its original cancellation after the second season in 1996 (due to Disney purchasing ABC), The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa was produced for a third season in 1998 due to overseas demand. The third season of the animated television series The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa premiered on January 1, 1999, with the airing of " Whiff / To Be Bee or Not To Be Bee", and ended on September 24, 1999, with the airing of " Mook Island / Cliphangers".
