VHS Movie Reviews of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride [VHS]

Movie Review: lions
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought this movie for my 3 year old grandson who is obsessed with Simba. We have to watch The Lion King at least once a day, sometimes more. He calls this one his new Lion King.

Movie Review: Not too bad
Summary: 4 Stars

Before you watch this movie, you must establish the fact that this is a B-lister, straight-to-DVD sequel to one of the best movies ever made, and if you accept that, then this movie is enjoyable.
Awhile after Simba defeated Scar and became King, he and Nala have a daughter, Kiara. She is adventurous and playful, which often gets her into trouble. Her father, Simba, is over-protective of her, which further pushes her into believing that being a princess is not fun. When she grows up and falls in love with the son of a deadly outsider, Simba must decide to let go of the past and accept the newcomer or fight and exile the charming newcomer.
This movie will never be half as good as the Lion King, as the plot-line is questionable (we never saw Kovu or Zira in the original, for one), the characters are under-developed (family trees, Nala has hardly any lines), the animation can be sloppy, and the song "Upendi" where Rafiki sings to Kovu and Kiara about love and happiness was kinda gay. But if you are a die-hard fan that loves Lion King enough to look past the flaws of its sequel and must own all things related to it, then this is a good buy, for the reasonable price.

Movie Review: Excellent movie..... but long delivery time
Summary: 5 Stars

The movie and the quality are great. I was disappointed in how long it took to get here. It took about 2 and 1/2 - 3 weeks! That's the longest we've had to wait for any internet purchase for any product. Explaining that "it will get here soon" to a 5 year old everyday is not fun either. I'm not sure why it took so long! I sent an e-mail message to the shipping provider and did not get a response back - but eventually received the movie.

Movie Review: Wonderful addition to collection
Summary: 5 Stars

I have a niece who's name is Kiara, so this was wonderful purchase, and in great condition. She will have it for a lifetime, she is only 1yrs old presently. She loves it, especially when she hears her name on the tv.

Movie Review: The Lion King Roar-turns!
Summary: 5 Stars

Eh, what's up, doc? It's Movie Review Kid here. Some time ago I reviewed The Lion King, well, now I'm here to comment on its sequel, The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. NOTE:This is the first time I am reviewing a movie that is the sequel to another movie I have reviewed.
The Lion King gang is back for another adventure. And by "The Lion King gang" I mean Simba, Nala, Timon, Pumbaa,Zazu, and Rafiki. Not Mufasa and Scar, they died in the first movie. And not Sarabi, for reasons unknown. Maybe she was out hunting the whole time. Anyway, this film introduces new members of the Lion King gang, Kiara, Kovu, Zira, Nuka, and Vitani. As I recall, and you should if you saw it and have any brains at all, that at the end of the first movie, Simba and Nala had a baby boy who would be the future Lion King. That's a fat, juicy lie. For starters, the second movie reveals that it is a baby girl and would be the future Lion Queen. (Hey, they should have a spin-off movie about that: The Lion Queen. I like it), but as for now she's just a princess. Due to Timon & Pumbaa's bad baby-sitting, Kiara (that's her name) wonders off and meets Kovu. But Kovu is Zira's son, and Zira is an Outlander, a group of lions who were banished from the Pride Lands. But Kiara and Kovu develop this yucky, mushy relationship that can't be torn apart. In other words, in case you're too dang stupid to understand, they love each other and in the end they bring the two tribes together. But I just have the original VHS from 1998, whereas this is the 2-Disc Special Edition DVD, released by Walt Disney Home Entertainment on August 14, 2004, with special bonus features and more Timon & Pumbaa Virtual Safaris. Now that you know the whole story, get the heck off my computer before I pump ya guts fulla lead. I'll get you 10 seconds to get your lousy, lowdown, no-good keister off my property. 1-2-10-(massive amount of gunshots; man laughs maniacally).

Summary of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride [VHS]

Another made-for-video sequel to a Disney masterpiece. As with the Beauty and the Beast and Pocahontas sequels, most of the recognizable vocal talents return, creating a worthwhile successor to the highest-grossing animated film ever. We pick up the story as the lion king, Simba (voiced by Matthew Broderick), and Nala (Moira Kelly) have a new baby cub, a girl named Kiara (Neve Campbell). Like her father before, she seeks adventure and ends up outside the Pridelands, where lions loyal to the evil Scar (who died in the original) have lived with revenge in their hearts. The leader, Zira (a spunky turn from Suzanne Pleshette), schemes to use her son Kovu (Jason Marsden) to destroy Simba. As luck with have it, Kiara has bumped into Kovu and fallen in love.

This all sounds familiar since all of Disney's straight-to-video sequels have played it very safe, nearly repeating the originals' story, tone, and pace. Perhaps there were too many cooks for this production. Besides the two screenplay credits, there are eight other writers credited for additional written material. The look of the film has none of the surprise of the original but is far superior to other animated videos. In fact, the film played in European theaters.

For kids, the sequel will be a favorite. The comic antics of Timon (Nathan Lane) and Pumba (Ernie Sabella) are enjoyable, as is Andy Dick as Nuka, the mixed-up older son of Zira. And there's plenty of action. The best element is the music. Relying on more African-influenced music, the five songs featured are far superior to those in Disney's other sequels. Zira's song of revenge, "My Lullaby," was cowritten by Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon. The standout opening number, "He Lives in You," was created for the Lion King Broadway smash and now finds a whole new audience. --Doug Thomas
