All spoilers for The Lion King are unmarked. You Have Been Warned!The Lion King II: Simba's Pridenote later retitled with the Arabic numeral 2 as The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride is the first sequel to Disney's The Lion King (1994), released in 1998.Following on from the previous film's epilogue, Simba has assumed kingship of the Pride Lands after Scar's defeat and gained a daughter with Nala named Kiara. As she grows older, the princess becomes rebellious towards her father's rules and falls in love with Kovu, a lion from a banished pride called the Outsiders. The other pride's members were ousted by Simba because they refused to submit to him and continued to follow Scar, even in death. Scar's former follower Zira, Kovu's mother, sees her son as the reincarnation of Scar's legacy and plots revenge against Simba through her son's romance with Kiara.As the previous film was largely a loose adaptation of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, this film is largely a retelling of Romeo and Juliet mixed with elements of Macbeth.The events of The Lion Guard's third and final season are set in parallel with the film's second act, with the finale serving as a TV sequel.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Timon and Pumbaa may be frustrated with each other and with Simba on occasions, but they'll drag Simba back to Pride Rock when he's injured and both valiantly join the fight against the outsiders. They actually kick butt... again. Zira, surprisingly, gets one: she may not show it all the time, but she does love Nuka. She's actually utterly heartbroken and furiously angry at Kovu when Nuka is flattened.

Darker and Edgier
 The Lion King II: Simba's Pride / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: In comparison to the first movie, the sequel is much more intense in spite of lacking the emotional scenes & genuine nightmares of the original as the only characters to die in this film are two villains. Also, there are less mature themes. However, the villain of this one is motivated primarily by spite and vengeance, whereas at least Scar had the semi-pragmatic motive of greed. Zira's Villain Song is almost entirely about how much she Loves the Sound of Screaming, and said song is considerably more vicious than Scar's Villain Song. In general, the very style of this movie is much darker than the first movie, like during the fire scene, wherein we see Kiara surrounded by flames, coughing from the smoke, and collapsing from exhaustion, or during Zira's first attack, when Simba is being mercilessly mauled by several other lions, and then there is "One Of Us" where the Pridelanders are all announcing their intense hatred for Kovu, who is not even guilty of what they are all accusing him of in the first place. The movie was even toned down by the alteration of some scenes, the best example being Zira's death at the end.

comment
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: Subverted. Although most of his decisions are understandable and realistic given what happened to him and the situation he finds himself in, Simba's actions are certainly not portrayed as good at all, and he makes the plot go From Bad to Worse. He reaches the lowest end when he exiles Kovu for a crime he didn't commit. Thankfully, when Kiara calls him on this, he doesn't take the jump off the slippery slope.

comment
Tempting Fate: Zira is revealed to have suspected that Kovu was weak due to morals in the past, but still chose him to do the mission. Sure, it's not like those morals will cause him to realize just how crazy you are and say that "I'm not doing this. This isn't right." It's also tempting fate for Zira to have him "pretend" to befriend a lioness who he already had a genuine connection with as a cub, without thinking that the connection they shared might be rekindled.

Evil Sounds Deep: Zira has a deep husky voice, granted by the late Suzanne Pleshette. Andy Dick provides Nuka with a whiny high pitched voice for most of the film, but at the ambush, when he finally snaps, Nuka drops the high pitch and gains a very guttural voice. As an adult, Vitani has a low, raspy voice, courtesy of Jennifer Lien.

"Well Done, Son" Guy
 The Lion King II: Simba's Pride / int_1779f10e
comment
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Nuka. Rare variation in that it's his mother's approval, not his father's, that he longs for. The effort of getting Zira's attention is what ends up killing him. There is even a deleted scene where he uses his dying breath to point that fact out to her directly. Simba too, albeit with less subtlety than the first time around. Forgetting the moving testimonial he'd received from his father's ghost, and unable to get over his past, Simba refuses to trust Kovu or see him as anything but a reincarnation of Scar, all in the mistaken belief that this is what his father would do (and therefore, would make Mufasa proud of him). Luckily Nala, as usual, is the voice of reason while Kiara, with typical bluntness, makes it quite clear to her father that he is not and never will be Mufasa. And just to hammer the point home that Simba does not have to emulate his father's reign (or his perception of it) in order to receive his love and pride, Mufasa's ghost actually says the words, "Well done, my son" after the prides are united and peace is declared.

Sins of Our Fathers
 The Lion King II: Simba's Pride / int_1adcd502
comment
Sins of Our Fathers: The main theme of the film. The whole conflict between the Pride and the Outlanders goes back to the original feud of Mufasa and Scar (both dead by the time of this movie), with both of them fighting on behalf of their old deceased leader. The conflict ends when both sides (except Zira) accept to let the past go and be a single pride once more.

Poor Communication Kills
 The Lion King II: Simba's Pride / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: Seems the case in "We Are One." During it, Kiara tells Simba straight up that she's afraid her destiny as queen will come at the cost of her own identity. Simba ignores this, delivers about six irrelevant life lessons in lyrical form, and ends by telling her that she'll "understand someday", addressing none of her concerns. Somewhere floating in there is an intended message about how she doesn't need to worry about either losing herself or not being a good queen because she isn't alone and can appeal to her loved ones (and the Great Kings) for help, but this is not at all obvious from the lyrics, and Kiara never picks up on it. Subverted later when Simba's message helps Kiara realize that the two prides should unite rather than constantly fighting. That just wasn't what Simba meant when he was teaching. So Poor Communication Saves? A straighter example with Kovu. When he and Simba are attacked, he could see or at least hear the Outsiders coming, yet he doesn't try to tell Simba to run or get in front of Simba to shield him. He just sits around, gets knocked out, and doesn't try to help Simba up the cliff; his attempt to climb it himself later might have been intended to get himself to a position where he could offer Simba a paw up, but by then it's too little, too late. As a result, he gets a scar across his eye, and is banished by Simba for his failure to act. Rafiki never once even attempts to tell Simba about Mufasa's plan to have Kiara and Kovu unite the Pridelanders and Outsiders, choosing just to do the matchmaking in his own vague and eccentric way. This ultimately results in the plan, along with Simba's family, almost completely falling apart after Simba banishes Kovu.

Villain Ball: Zira grabs it hard. For a starter, she was well aware Kovu wanted absolutely nothing to do with the plot. It is also heavily implied that she knew Kovu might not go through with it even before the whole plan started. She had absolutely no leverage to ensure he could stay loyal. The entire plan was practically gambling he would stay loyal. Needless to say, she probably should have chosen Vitani or especially Nuka, as Kovu was a terrible choice from the start.

Lady Macbeth: To add to the Shakespeare analogies, Zira is the late Scar's Lady Macbeth. Considering she's absent in the first film and Scar acts almost entirely on his own, the trope fits more with her as Kovu's Lady Macbeth, as she (attempts to) stir him into evil.

Adaptation Expansion

comment
Adaptation Expansion: Of the sequel variety, it's directly shown that Mufasa is spiritually present at Kiara's ceremony at the start of the movie, as well as the finale with Simba, Nala, Kiara and Kovu roaring from Pride Rock. This implies that with Simba's ceremony in the original film, the beam of light parting from the clouds was likely Mufasa's father or mother blessing his or her grandchild. Simba was hinted in the first film to have some serious psychological problems, primarily a lot of self doubt in who he was and the grief over his father's death, though it was primarily indicated through a few lines, and was not given that much depth. This time around, his psychological problems are shown far more clearly, serving as a major part of his character becoming a colossal jerk, and it is strongly implied, especially in the second half of the film, that he has post traumatic stress disorder.

May–December Romance
 The Lion King II: Simba's Pride / int_234fa9ba
comment
May–December Romance: The Lion King never gives the characters' ages, and most characters don't seem to age. However, we know some animals are from the same generation as each other: Mufasa and Scar, Simba and Nala, Kovu and Kiara. It means that Zira is closer to Simba's generation than Mufasa's, and Kovu couldn't have been an exceptional pregnancy late in her childbearing age since she had two other cubs within a short gap previously. Some pretend that she was just remarkably fecund, or had a will strong enough to carry cubs late. Others just think she's lying through her fangs, from the cubs being hers to the fact she ever had a romance with Scar. The last have no problem to ship Zira with Scar split by a generation difference; and some fanarts even feature their first encounter as cub and teenager.

Ironic Echo: Blink and you'll miss it, but Nuka's "Mother...I tried..." just before his death is echoed by Kiara's "Daddy...I tried," just after she fails to save Zira. Zira asking Kovu "What have you done?" before trying to blame him for a death he had nothing to do with echoes Scar's line to Simba after Mufasa's death in the first movie. However, unlike Scar, Zira seems to genuinely believe that Kovu is to blame for Nuka's death.

Red Right Hand: Subverted with the protagonist Kovu (who has more or less the same color scheme as Scar and acquires a scar over his eye about halfway through the movie). Played straight with the other outsiders, most notably Zira (who has a vertical stripe on her head and an Ear Notch). Before the end battle, the outsider lionesses all walk through mud, just so we (and maybe they themselves) can tell them apart from their Prideland counterparts in the heat of the battle. By the time they realize there's really not all that much of a difference between the two groups, and reunite, they're all clean again, though their distinguishing drawing style remains.

Mythology Gag: During the nightmare, Simba has blue eyes, in contrast to the red ones he has in reality. One of the original plans was for Simba to have blue eyes before it got changed to red.

Painful Persona
 The Lion King II: Simba's Pride / int_26ac8fea
comment
Painful Persona: The main villain Zira indoctrinated her pride to believe that her son Kovu is Scar's heir. Kovu himself learns thanks to Kiara and the other animals of the Pride Lands that he's much more than the carbon copy of Simba's uncle and he eventually learns to become the opposite of him to the point that remarking about their alleged similarity becomes his Berserk Button.

Carnivore Confusion
 The Lion King II: Simba's Pride / int_27a58d30
comment
Carnivore Confusion: Contrary to the zebra of the first film, not a single prey gets eaten, and yet: Timon and Pumbaa have no problems hanging around the Pride Lands, probably being under the protection of Simba. They also look like they accept being in a community of carnivores well, even though they probably witness from time to time some "taxation operations" on the Pridelanders. The lions have no difficulty gathering the population around Pride Rock for an official announcement, without anyone fearing predation from anybody else. Maybe it is because the place is sacred, but in this case, lots of hunting must look like off-ground tags. This is even an impediment to the development of Kiara's character. She is shown as a clumsy hunter throughout the movie, and contrary to Kovu, who learns the meaning of fun and kindness, she never has the occasion to train and improve herself as a killer... though for the sake of the story, it's probably better that way.

Bilingual Bonus
 The Lion King II: Simba's Pride / int_294ed981
comment
Bilingual Bonus: Like the original Lion King, there's quite a bit of Swahili: Kovu means "scar"; Zira is the verb radical of "hate"; Vitani is a Portmanteau of Vita ("war") and Shetani ("demon"); Nuka means "stink"; Upendi is a corruption of upendo, the noun form of "love". A non-African language example: Kiara is Latin for "bright," and when it was introduced in Africa, it came to mean someone of importance, fitting for Kiara being the heir to the throne, and also due to her important role in the plot.

Beauty Equals Goodness: Justified with the Outlanders, as they are only skinny and sunken-eyed from not getting enough to eat. After being accepted into Simba's pride, they're shown with the same build as the Rock Pride's lionesses. Played straight with Kovu, who is the most well kept of the Outsiders and quickly becomes the most heroic, given that he defects in roughly half a day.

Worf Had the Flu: To Kovu, twice. While a lot of people hammer Kovu for getting knocked out incredibly easily, he was kicked headfirst by Vitani into a rock, which would knock anybody out. Kovu is shown throughout the film to have good reflexes, as shown when Simba surprises him and Kiara after the fire. It is implied the only reason Zira managed to give him a scar was because he was still grieving over Nuka's death and in a normal situation would have been able to dodge or parry Zira's swipe. Likewise, it is pretty obvious the only reason Simba is overwhelmed by the Outsiders in the final battle is because he is still suffering from his wounds in the ambush.

Attack! Attack... Retreat! Retreat!: Done three times in three different scenarios While on her first hunt, Kiara tries to catch a herd of hartebeest, but they get away. Then she sees fire in the distance, and the panicking herd stampeding back in her direction, prompting her to run too. Kiara, Kovu, and Timon and Pumbaa are chasing a flock of birds for fun, before they run into a huge herd of rhinos. The rhinos snort at them, and attack them, forcing them to run as well into a cave. At the climax, Timon tells Pumbaa "When the going gets tough, the tough get going," and they charge into the battle between the Pridelanders and Outsiders. They then chicken out when confronted by an Outsider.

Shipper on Deck: Mufasa of all people! Rafiki is doing his usual fruit painting prophecies on the tree, when a gust of wind breaks a fruit in half, leading him to conclude Mufasa is suggesting that Kovu and Kiara are meant for each other. Rafiki isn't amused by this notion, but Mufasa doesn't care. According to Word of God, this was actually going to be more explicit in the original script, before they realized/decided that having Mufasa appear as an actual talking character would be unrealistic and Narmy, and would ruin the great lion's gravitas, so they went with a timely wind instead.

Hollywood Healing: Kovu has just been kicked headfirst into a rock. Less than a minute later, he has recovered, with no injury, and no real sign of a concussion later on in the film. Simba despite being mauled, and brutally injured, recovers to full health in what is implied to be just 12 hours. That said, Zira says Simba being injured and weakened is why they're attacking now, suggesting he wasn't at his full strength in the battle (which says a lot about how he still holds his own well). The final battle, where despite pretty much every single lioness being involved in the fight, no one has a potential problem walking. Then there is the scene of Kiara crashing down the rocks really quickly, which should have caused serious burns from the friction at least.

Batman Gambit: Zira has Nuka and Vitani set up the fire so Kiara would be trapped and Kovu would rescue her, so Simba would gain his trust and let him in. She then claims the closer Kovu gets to Kiara, the closer he gets to Simba, and once he has Simba alone, he will kill him when the time is right. When Kovu starts turning on the Outsiders, Zira decides to try to force Kovu back into the Outsiders by ambushing Simba while Kovu is with him. She then falsely congratulates Kovu with a skillful use of Exact Words, and Simba reacts predictably. While Simba survives, he banishes Kovu, but Kovu angrily turns on Zira for getting him involved with her schemes.

Becoming the Mask: Kovu. His initial rescue of Kiara is meant solely to get the Pridelanders to trust and accept him so he can get close to Simba and kill him, but as the movie progresses he becomes less and less willing to do so thanks to falling for Kiara (and also, it should be noted, shown there is simply more to life than being a cold-blooded killer and avenging/following in the pawprints of a villainous father figure you never knew). Once he finds out the full story of Scar from Simba, Kovu fully becomes the mask, wanting nothing to do with Zira or her schemes.

Snakes Are Sinister: Subverted. African rock pythons are among the animals outraged by the Outsiders' plot to murder Simba. Although they're also among the animals who falsely accuse Kovu of being part of it.

Rousing Lullaby: Zira sings Kovu to sleep, but it soon turns into a Villain Song about her hopes that Kovu will grow up strong enough to overthrow Simba for the throne of the Pride Lands. It also shows that his family's not very good at, well, being a family, with his siblings pitching in in ways more likely to keep him up, such as his brother Nuka yelling "Sleep, ya little termite!" (quickly appended to "precious little thiiing..." when he notices Zira glaring at him for it) in his ear.

Gory Discretion Shot: Nuka survives just one log falling on top of him and that is shown clearly, but the two logs that roll onto him fall at a pretty good speed. We see his horrified face right before they hit him, and then it cuts to the logs as they crash offscreen, followed by a lot of dust in the air.

Et Tu, Brute?: Vitani is shown to be genuinely hurt when it seems Kovu has turned his back on the Outsiders for Simba. While Simba is more focused on the Outsiders, it is indicated he genuinely began to trust Kovu, and the fact that Kovu has apparently just led him into an ambush to be killed is seen as an enormous betrayal of trust. Fortunately, he does acknowledge that Kovu was not behind the ambush at the end of the film. Kovu himself is visibly horrified at the fact that his family and pride, which is shown repeatedly throughout the film that he genuinely cares about, has framed him for murder, and later for blaming him for Nuka's death.

Disproportionate Retribution
 The Lion King II: Simba's Pride / int_50b05d30
comment
Disproportionate Retribution: Simba roaring at Kovu simply for playing with his daughter is a blatant case of this trope. While you could understand being worried when he found out about her getting away, Kovu is only playing with Kiara, and Zira had not revealed herself yet, so roaring at a cub who is doing nothing but playing innocently is going way, way too far. Simba really should have just approached calmly and asked him who he was. Banishing the Outlander cubs in the first place seems wholly unfair. Zira and the other adult lionesses may have been dangerous, but Nuka likely would have been a young cub when Simba took over as the king, and Vitani would have been an infant— she would have posed absolutely no threat to the Pride Lands, but she was banished to a childhood of starvation, neglect and deprivation for the crime of being Zira's child.

Zira is shown to be so obsessed with revenge that she neglects actually trying to keep her pride healthy, and her neglect and abuse of Nuka clearly disgusted the pride, especially her own daughter and her youngest child. After she threatens Vitani, everyone abandons her.

Happy Ending Override: Thanks to the Remember the New Guy? appearance of the Outsiders, the sequel does this for the original film. Simba did become king and defeat Scar, but some of the pride defected under Zira to retake the kingdom in Scar’s name. Scar may be long dead, but Simba’s ascension to the throne was just the beginning of a long, brutal war between the two prides that lasted until Simba’s daughter came of age.

Broad Strokes
 The Lion King II: Simba's Pride / int_547196be
comment
Broad Strokes: There are several details that necessitate that: Zira clearly mentions that Kovu was the last to be born before their exile, and hand-chosen by Scar to be his heir. However, Kiara was barely conceived around this time. It means there is an age difference of the time of a lioness gestation between them, that's to say roughly four months. The difference should be more flagrant when they first meet as cubs only aged of a few months. Even though it was done to avoid unfortunate incestual implications, the idea of Kovu being hand-chosen without being his blood by the self-centered Scar does seem a bit odd. Though at least it tries its best to make some sense in context, since Scar had no actual heirs and Kovu coincidentally bore some resemblance to him. It is not clear where Zira and the future Outsiders were during the Final Battle of the previous film. And neither is the exact fate of the hyenas who mysteriously disappeared at the moment where Scar died. Overlapping with Continuity Snarl, the ghost of Mufasa here communicates with Rafiki (through the wind that the latter understands thanks to his shamanic abilities). That confirms he was not just a hallucination in the first film, he is a real apparition from the afterlife (the "stars" in this universe). This raises some questions. If he told the truth about his death to Rafiki or Simba right after it (or sooner than the famous stormy night), Scar could not have ruined the kingdom for years and countless lives would have been spared. And in the current film, he would be a very precious witness to testify to the villainy of his brother in front of Outsiders who are still faithful to his memory, and thus to prevent the war between the prides about the legitimacy of Simba (if this is the lone reason). Rafiki has a small part of this too: he's fully aware of the intentions of Mufasa, but similarly to the first film he still acts in a more overseeing role. Aside from showing Simba the ghost of his father (which he lampshades), and teaching Kovu and Kiara about "Upendi," he makes no use of his knowledge and connection with the Kings of the Past.

Women Are Wiser: Played straight with the now queen Nala, something that exasperated most fans of her previous portrayal, and her teenage daughter Kiara in regards to Simba. On the other hand, Simba not being particularly wise by any standard is a big part of the plot. Zigzagged with Zira's pride. Both Kovu and Nuka are far less swift and formidable than the female outlanders, though ultimately far less vicious and deluded, with Kovu ultimately becoming a White Sheep. Vitani and the rest of her pack do ultimately Heel–Face Turn, though it takes until the end of the film.

Fantastic Racism: It's not too much of a stretch to see the prejudice towards the Outsiders to racism, particularly with the "We are one" message at the end. Granted, the Outsiders are not a different species so much as a specific group of lions; Simba does not seem to show prejudice to every animal from the outlands in general. Of note, Outlanders follow Simba's evil uncle and explicitly try to kill Simba and his family, so it's likely that is where his prejudice comes from.

I Am Not My Father: Kovu's slowly realizes that he isn't like his adopted father Scar at all and doesn't have to do the terrible things he did. It doesn't help that everyone, bar Kiara, assumes he's Scar 2.0 and will carry on the legacy without even giving him a chance. A rare example with a positive father figure, as Simba realizes he isn't Mufasa and can't rule based on what his father would have done. By the end of the film he's learned to let go of the past and become King in his own right.

Later on, Simba telling Kovu the full story of Scar proves to be the last straw for Kovu's already wavering loyalty to the Outsiders, and when Zira tells Kovu he betrayed Scar by not helping, Kovu gives Zira a withering Shut Up, Hannibal! moment before he leaves.

Sanity Slippage
 The Lion King II: Simba's Pride / int_62434fe2
comment
Sanity Slippage: Simba might be losing his mind, considering the trauma from the first film leaving its mark on him, something underscored even more by his nightmares, implied to be recurring ones, which say a lot about the state of his psyche. All of his previous decisions, although antagonistic, are completely understandable. However, at the trial and during the final battle, he is far more angry, and far more violent, unwilling to listen to reasonable points, and he is nowhere near the calm, if fierce, character we saw during both films. Fortunately for Simba, Kiara brings him back from the brink. It gets even scarier when you wonder: what if Kiara hadn't talked him down? Would he have killed her? Would he have killed every single Outsider then and there? Would his dealing with future problems be more violent? The implications are really disturbing.

The Power of Hate: Zira holds an immense grudge against Simba for killing Scar, whom she was very loyal to. She is raising her son Kovu into hating all Pridelanders. Later in the film she stoops as low as threatening to kill her daughter, Vitani which sickeningly causes her former followers to turn against her and join Simba's pride. Unfortunately she stubbornly refuses to let go of her hatred which causes her to fall into the river, even refusing to let Kiara, Simba's daughter, save her.

Jerkass Has a Point
 The Lion King II: Simba's Pride / int_6b05b601
comment
Jerkass Has a Point: When Simba banishes Kovu after the ambush, he notes that Kovu used his relationship with Kiara to get to him. While Simba is clearly going off the bend, and Kovu has turned on the Outsiders by this point in the movie, his claim that the Outsiders did use Kiara and Kovu's relationship to kill him and take over the Pride Lands isn't exactly wrong, even if slightly outdated. Simba is honestly pretty reasonable to have Timon and Pumbaa look after Kiara while she is a cub. She was warned not to go to the outlands, showed interest in going there even before Timon and Pumbaa showed up, and immediately does into the outlands after running off from her babysitters and gets into danger almost right away after that. Namely nearly getting killed by crocodiles and then Zira shows up. On a meta level, it makes sense to have a cub be supervised, even within the Pridelands. Various predators roam the savannah in real life anyways, and Simba is likely aware of this, although the Pridelands seem to at least be somewhat safe since he and Nala were ok with Kiara exploring it as a cub alone. The film treats Simba's prejudice against the Outlanders as somewhat unreasonable at times, such as during his exile of Kovu. However, seeing as the Outsiders themselves followed a sociopathic, evil tyrant like Scar (who murded Simba's father, attempted to kill Simba, and ruled as a tyrant), Simba hating and being wary of them makes sense. They do in fact try to kill him during the events of the film as well, if Kovu is not directly responsible for that. As noted above, he was originally supposed to kill Simba after all.

Meaningful Echo: "I tried" is spoken at least twice in the movie, both time indicating that a character failed to do something. First, they are the last words of Nuka to Zira, who failed to kill Simba. Second, Kiara says it to Simba after failing to rescue Zira. Simba says to Zira that it's time to put the past behind them, the same advice Timon and Pumbaa gave before teaching Hakuna Matata. While in the original movie this lesson winds up being thoroughly deconstructed for Simba's kingship, in this one it's the lesson he badly needs to learn the most in order to reunite the Pridelanders and Outsiders.

Ungrateful Bitch: Even though Kovu came racing down and desperately tried to dig Nuka out of the logs, Zira still blames him for her older son's death, and the allegation that Kovu killed Nuka falls even shorter given that Kovu was nowhere near the logs when they fell. Not to mention it was Nuka's own fault for ignoring how rickety the logs were.

Idiot Ball: Simba's overprotectiveness of Kiara even into adulthood does nothing to help their already tense relationship. Simba quickly believes that Kovu deliberately led him into Zira's ambush, even though it was his idea for them to walk to the scene of the fire, not Kovu's. How could Kovu have set up an ambush there when he had no way of knowing Simba was taking him there? Nuka's idea of pursuing Simba up the unstable logs was really stupid—even Zira wasn't willing to follow Simba up there. When Nuka snatches Simba's leg, the combined weight causes the logs beneath Nuka to collapse, causing him to lose his grip and tumble down, with several logs crushing him to death. Zira's failing psyche causes her to grab the ball tight and never let go, costing her the loyalty of her entire pride.

Grey-and-Gray Morality: Downplayed, as the film clearly sets the two opposite defined sides the Pridelanders and the Outsiders in a way where you can obviously tell that the Pridelanders have the moral high ground. Simba and Kovu also have this conflict on a more minor scale: although we know about the plot to kill Simba, one can't help but sympathize with Kovu as he's never known anything else beyond ruthlessness and violence, and had a Heel–Face Turn eventually. Likewise, although many of Simba's actions against Kovu are antagonistic (because we are looking at it from Kiara's perspective and she is more moral than him ), Simba is well within his rights to not trust Kovu straight out of the gate. You don't just let someone from the enemy's side just suddenly save a relative, say they have defected and take that without real proof. Simba also has personal reason to not take Kovu's word at face value: the last time he trusted someone blindly, he lost a relative and was left deeply psychologically scarred. Even after he banishes Kovu that he doesn't entirely lose the audience's sympathy. It doesn't help that the film fails to explicitly state the reason of the persisting conflict, and his change of mind at the end about Outsiders gives the impression he had maybe biased reasons to keep them out.

Remember the New Guy?: So, where exactly was Scar's pride during The Lion King (1994), and why did he never spare a single thought for them? It isn't covered by Scar just being a Jerkass; he makes it pretty clear that he'd rather be living with anyone other than his brother and company. According to Zira, Kovu was "hand-chosen by [Scar] to follow in his pawprints and become King." When, exactly? And if so, shouldn't they have been with him in the Pridelands?

Black-and-White Morality: This trope is played with. Whereas the original movie played the trope straight (Scar and the hyenas are evil; everyone else is good), the sequel sets itself up the same way (lions in the Pride Lands are good; lions in the Outlands are bad), then subverts the trope (see below Grey-and-Gray Morality). In the end, though, the Pridelanders are clearly shown as the right side. The solution of the conflict is less a compromise between the two parties than an acknowledgment by Outsiders about their wrong. The recalcitrant one, Zira, gets killed.

Zigzagged with Zira's pride.

Suicide Is Painless: What Zira's death was meant to be, before the directors decided to cut part of that scene from the final version. The cut scene features Kiara reaching out to save Zira... only to have Zira look back at Kiara with the most frightening smile of the movie and whisper "No... nev-er." just before intentionally letting go of the ledge. The directors evidently thought this was just a bit too dark for a movie whose plot is driven mostly by Zira's obsession with revenge.

Bullying a Dragon

comment
Bullying a Dragon: Zira decides to angrily slash Kovu after Nuka dies. Kovu has just been told the whole story of Scar by Simba, she has just betrayed him by lying to Simba that he led him into her ambush and then literally says that Kovu clearly got Nuka killed. Kovu is a full grown adult male who could kill Zira very easily and has just been given a huge motive to fight back. It is implied from Kovu's voice that if he didn't see Zira as his family, he probably would have fought back, a fight Zira most definitely would have lost.

Plot-Relevant Age-Up
 The Lion King II: Simba's Pride / int_7fb534b7
comment
Plot-Relevant Age-Up: The story understandably jumps forward in time to proceed to the romance part (which needs mature characters). However, the way it is introduced makes it look like the two protagonists suddenly grew up. Zira's pride at the big-built lion Kovu has become makes it seem like a recent thing and not the long result of years of training (unless she is emphasizing about how much he is ready). It is more obvious with Kiara, whom the Pride congratulates for the beautiful young lioness she has become, one saying “My, how you have grown�, like if they were discovering her at the same time than the viewers, even though she is supposed to have been living with them for all this time.

The Chosen One: Villainous example. Zira claims that Kovu was hand-selected by Scar to avenge him, kill Simba, and take over the Pride Lands. She's probably lying; Zira is incredibly unstable, and Word of God has confirmed that Kovu is actually Scar's adopted son and is not biologically related to him. Though if she were lying, how come none of the lionesses (who likely lived with Zira and Kovu during Scar's reign) called her out as a liar?

Simba wants to follow Mufasa's steps, and does not trust the heirs of Scar. Zira, in turn, wants to follow Scar's steps, and Kovu wants to avoid the similarities with the dreaded Scar.

Didn't Think This Through: Zira choosing Kovu as the one to infiltrate the Rock Pride. For one thing, he already got attached to Kiara as a cub, so sending him to befriend her risked him redeveloping that connection, he never wanted power to begin with, and Zira implies he argued with her morals even after he'd grown up. Her whole scheme depended on her brainwashing the softest-hearted cub available and hope he'd remain a ruthless killer even when around genuinely good lions. It would have been better to send in Nuka - who was more violent and desperate to please her - rather than the inherently sweet-natured Kovu.

Took a Level in Badass: Simba and Nala were already competent fighters, but they have grown considerably in size since now Simba is eating meat instead of bugs and Nala is eating properly again after growing up in Scar's famine. Simba is about as hulking as Mufasa was before his death and can fend off Zira's entire pride at once even if he's on the backfoot against superior numbers, and Nala is still in the thick of the action.

Foreshadowing: During a talk with her two reluctant babysitters, Kiara tells them being a princess is only half of who she is, leading Pumbaa to ask who is the other half, which Kiara doesn't know yet as she is only a cub. Simba's nightmare depicts Kovu with Scar's... scar. He would later gain his for real when Zira strikes him. When Kovu races down to dig Nuka out of the logs, if you look closely at the scene, you will notice water is leaking out from under the logs. The logs collapse and cause a brief flood that ultimately kills Zira in the climax.

Continuity Nod: Kovu accidentally channels Scar through his reflection, same way Simba channels Mufasa. Kovu doesn't take this well. Nuka mentioning that the hyenas ran away could also count as this, considering that Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed were outside of the Pride Lands in the TV series Timon & Pumbaa. It helps that some of the people who have worked on this film, such as co-director Rob LaDuca, have previously worked on Timon & Pumbaa.

Forgetting the moving testimonial he'd received from his father's ghost, and unable to get over his past, Simba refuses to trust Kovu or see him as anything but a reincarnation of Scar, all in the mistaken belief that this is what his father would do (and therefore, would make Mufasa proud of him). Luckily Nala, as usual, is the voice of reason while Kiara, with typical bluntness, makes it quite clear to her father that he is not and never will be Mufasa. And just to hammer the point home that Simba does not have to emulate his father's reign (or his perception of it) in order to receive his love and pride, Mufasa's ghost actually says the words, "Well done, my son" after the prides are united and peace is declared.

The Dissenter Is Always Right: When Simba banishes Kovu from the pride after wrongfully believing that Kovu lead him into an ambush, all the other animals in the Prideland join together to ridicule and shun Kovu. Only Kiara believes that Kovu is innocent and runs away to join him in exile. She is also the only one of the Pridelanders to believe that the Outlanders can be good if given the chance, and it is her and Kovu who eventually convince the two groups to come together in the end.

My God, What Have I Done?: Simba after Kiara calls him out from trying to be like Mufasa, as he realizes that his actions have not only caused Kiara to lose the one she loves most, but also because he almost destroyed the Circle of Life by not uniting the Pride Landers and Outlanders into one pride, like Mufasa actually wanted, and instead continued to be prejudiced again all Outlanders. Zira also has this reaction after Nuka's death, realising that her own actions ended up getting him killed. However, she quickly passes the blame onto Kovu, accusing him of betraying Scar. Kovu, after spending time with Simba's Pride and falling in love with Kiara, begins to regret being part of Zira's plot to assassinate Simba and take over the Pridelands.

Double-Meaning Title: Simba's Pride can refer to either the lions that follow him or the fact that he's initially too proud of his father's legacy as a good king to really understand what it took to build that legacy in the first place. A third meaning of the title could also be referring to Kiara, who is Simba's "pride and joy".

Mood Whiplash
 The Lion King II: Simba's Pride / int_a4c37cbe
comment
Timon and Pumbaa really do not belong in this movie, as their only purpose is to ruin genuinely dramatic moments with non sequitur jokes. Zazu takes a similar, but more minor role. On a more positive note, there's another dimension of Mood Whiplash, between Lighter and Softer moments and Darker and Edgier moments. Disney movies in general tend to have this, but this movie takes it even further than most, like when a cutesy song about all creatures being a big family is quickly followed by a Villain Song about revenge. That's a very deliberate tonal shift, intentionally juxtaposing the differences between the two families.

Adaptational Jerkass: Simba is distrustful towards Kovu due to his prejudice towards the Outsiders and is also an unreasonably strict father towards Kiara due to his overprotectiveness. The original Capulet, while implied to not be the best parent, still treats Romeo kindly, until he kills Tybalt at least, and still acts like a reasonable father for the time period.

Played straight with the other outsiders, most notably Zira (who has a vertical stripe on her head and an Ear Notch). Before the end battle, the outsider lionesses all walk through mud, just so we (and maybe they themselves) can tell them apart from their Prideland counterparts in the heat of the battle. By the time they realize there's really not all that much of a difference between the two groups, and reunite, they're all clean again, though their distinguishing drawing style remains.

Alas, Poor Villain: When Nuka goes after Simba on the dam, whilst proclaiming "I'll do it for you, Mother! — I'm doing it for you — And I'm doing it for me!", and he inadvertently gets dislodged, falls and manages to tell Zira "I'm sorry, Mother. I tried," making Zira go from My God, What Have I Done? to Never My Fault in under three seconds flat. Even more so in the deleted extended version where Nuka bitterly points out that he was only able to get his mother's attention in death. Also Zira. Yes, she is an Ax-Crazy lunatic and did threaten her own daughter for deciding to stop fighting Simba, but it's still sad to see her desire for revenge leading to her demise. Even Kiara wishes she could've done something to save her. Posthumously for Scar, as both Simba and Kiara laments about how he couldn't let go of his hatred and when it eventually consumed and destroyed him, Scar was at the end his own worst enemy.

However, they both decide to go back to reunite the prides, which is especially telling for Kovu, given that he is essentially facing death from both prides if they don't listen to reason.

Pretender Diss: When Kiara begs Simba to reconsider his banishment of Kovu, he defends his actions by saying he's just following in Mufasa's paw prints, just as Kovu was apparently following in Scar's. Kiara, furious that he'd dare bring Mufasa into the argument, declares that he'll never be the king his father was. Needless to say, Simba is deeply hurt by that statement.

Animal Stampede: As Kiara and Kovu chase away a bunch of birds to get some worms for Timon and Pumbaa, they fly towards a herd of rhinos who charge at the heroes. Fortunately, nobody gets hurt.

Anti-Hero: Downplayed with Simba who banishes Kovu without listening to what he has to say, fights against Scar's cult partially out of prejudice and acts like a Helicopter Parents with Kiara. He is otherwise The Good King and mostly unambiguously good, but his actions can be pretty questionable. There's a reason why Won the War, Lost the Peace in effect.

Insane Troll Logic: Zira honestly thinks that Kovu killed Nuka. Case in point, Kovu was nowhere near the logs when they fell, and it is primarily Nuka's own fault, as he already knew that Simba was having trouble climbing the logs. Despite that, Zira is convinced that Kovu betraying them by not attacking Simba on the logs is enough to say that Kovu is responsible for his brother's death. This is likely because Zira is really starting to lose it.

Series Continuity Error
 The Lion King II: Simba's Pride / int_ca95473c
comment
Series Continuity Error: The Outsiders's very existence is one. There are followers of Scar and are fanatically loyal to him, especially Zira, and likely would have been major supporters of his during his reign. And yet there is about zero signs of their existence in the first film during Scar's reign. They are nowhere to be seen in the final battle of the first film, despite the fact they logically would have been fighting to defend Scar in that scene and otherwise should have been mentioned in the third act. Kovu's being Scar's heir as well. He is mentioned to have been chosen by Scar as a heir and yet he is way too young to have been born at any point when Scar is alive, and thus could not have been chosen in the first place. (He is implied to be the same age as Kiara, who was shown to have been born well after Scar died.)

Won the War, Lost the Peace: Scar’s defeat came with massive fallout and the whole conflict is because of this—Zira and other Scar loyalists refused to surrender, so Simba banished them. Ultimately, peace would fall apart, as Scar’s legacy lives on in these lions, and Zira spent years regrouping to end the conflict on her terms.

Kiara angrily tells Simba he doesn't even know Kovu and accuses him of something he had nothing to do with, going as far to respond with her own one in five simple words: "You will never be Mufasa!"

comment
Hypocrite: Simba gives Kovu a speech about how fire (Scar) is a killer, but what's left behind (Kovu) could grow better if given the chance. He seems to forget about that last part when he exiles him as guilty of betrayal before being proven innocent. Even before this, his song "We Are One" is strange to listen to when in the previous scene we saw him reject Kovu simply for being Zira's son! Zira blames Kovu for Nuka's death though it was an accident, yet she worships Scar who killed his brother on purpose. Zira later proceeds to blame Simba completely for putting them in the Outlands where they don't have a lot of food and water, but her leadership style shows that she could have easily just accepted that punishment and actually focused on getting food and water, but instead decides to get revenge on Simba.

Continuity Snarl
 The Lion King II: Simba's Pride / int_df582b0b
comment
Overlapping with Continuity Snarl, the ghost of Mufasa here communicates with Rafiki (through the wind that the latter understands thanks to his shamanic abilities). That confirms he was not just a hallucination in the first film, he is a real apparition from the afterlife (the "stars" in this universe). This raises some questions. If he told the truth about his death to Rafiki or Simba right after it (or sooner than the famous stormy night), Scar could not have ruined the kingdom for years and countless lives would have been spared. And in the current film, he would be a very precious witness to testify to the villainy of his brother in front of Outsiders who are still faithful to his memory, and thus to prevent the war between the prides about the legitimacy of Simba (if this is the lone reason). Rafiki has a small part of this too: he's fully aware of the intentions of Mufasa, but similarly to the first film he still acts in a more overseeing role. Aside from showing Simba the ghost of his father (which he lampshades), and teaching Kovu and Kiara about "Upendi," he makes no use of his knowledge and connection with the Kings of the Past.

Calling the Old Man Out: Kovu calls out both the old lady and the posthumous father figure: Kiara tries several times to call out Simba for his over-protectiveness, but it never seems to take until Kovu's exile, resulting in her saying "You will never be Mufasa!"

Played With in regards to Kiara. Zira clearly did not expect that Kiara and Kovu would fall in love and shows utter shock when she learns that Kovu has apparently betrayed them, not considering that Kiara and Kovu's connection meant that this very easily could have happened anyway.

When Kovu starts turning on the Outsiders, Zira decides to try to force Kovu back into the Outsiders by ambushing Simba while Kovu is with him. She then falsely congratulates Kovu with a skillful use of Exact Words, and Simba reacts predictably. While Simba survives, he banishes Kovu, but Kovu angrily turns on Zira for getting him involved with her schemes.

Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Zira's undoing is severely underestimating how good of a person Kovu is. She automatically sees Kovu and Kiara's friendship as a chance for Kovu to kill Simba... not considering that their attachment actually suggests that Kovu is the worst person to send to the Pridelanders. It clearly never occurred to her that Kovu's original affection for Kiara could override years of indoctrination, or that experiencing the Rock Pride's kinder lifestyle would make him realize he was on the wrong side. Sure enough, it takes not even a day for Kovu to redevelop feelings for Kiara and refuse to become a killer.

The Remnant: The hostile lion pride living in the Outlands were banished by Simba because they refused to swear off their allegiance to Scar. Their leader Zira was Scar's lover and is still actively seeking to avenge him. Of course, they were nowhere to be seen in the first film. Things get more complicated because Zira's son Kovu, while being raised as Tyke-Bomb by her to kill Simba, genuinely falls in love with Simba's daughter Kiara.

Running Gag: Several times, characters ask "What are you doing?". In their first meeting, Kovu asks Kiara why she is not turning her back on him. Kovu says it again in order to alert her to who he is when they reunite as adults. Right before he learns the Outsiders are on their way, Simba stumbles upon Timon and Pumbaa fighting, and asks "What are you doing?", right before he learns that Kiara has disappeared.

Not So Similar: For all that Kiara has inherited her father's inquisitive and adventurous nature, her outlook on life is rather different. While Simba as a cub couldn't wait to be King and looked forward to all the attention and glory he'd get, Kiara doesn't even want to be Queen, is insecure about being able to rule and wonders who she is beyond being a princess.
