Hewing to the exotic epic look of the original blockbuster, the new direct-to-video sequel "The Lion King II: Simba's Pride" is enchanting small-screen entertainment that feels big.

Like most sequels, this isn't really a movie at all - it's a merchandising strategy. And no one needs to pay money for that.

It's disappointing that this girls-are-strong theme doesn't play out as smartly as it should, but that's the one weakness in this sleek, joyful, entertaining film.

Not unlike its predecessor, "Lion King II" has enough across-the-board appeal to entertain viewers of all ages.

While it could never match up to the powerful original, The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride is a surprisingly good direct-to-video sequel.
November 12, 2019 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review… -
LION KING II is good by Disney sequel standards and unique in that the story actually follows directly from the first movie.

Mar 09, 2015If the first is Hamlet with lions then this one is Romeo & Juliet with lions. And if the first is a great kids' movie then this one is a passable kids' movie.Gimly M Super Reviewer

Dec 26, 2012Not as memorable as the first one. The follow-up story involving Kovu having a arguable relationship with Kiara was not convincing enough for another adventure between two rival lion races, Zira's idea of using Kovu as a trap on King Simba was not effective compared to Scar's manipulation in the first film, Timon and Pumbaa's humor was low, and the the film's anti-racism message proves that it could've been instead a small episode rather than a full length rehashed adventure.Max G Super Reviewer

Sep 07, 2012While the first Lion King was what re-established Disney as a great studio, and it became a classic of the company, this sequel was pointless, unnecessary and overall stupid. This was clearly made to make a buck on the stature of the original film, and it was clear that there was no thought into how to would make an effective, fun and memorable sequel to The Lion King. There was absolutely nothing worth mentioning about this film, except it's a poorly written film with a boring, mediocre story. At least the animation is nice as usual; unfortunately the film has no substance for its plot. The first Lion King was a great film, but this sequel simply fails because of a poor story and an unconvincing cast. I know it's all animated, but the voice actors seem bored here, and the film just fails in terms of continuing the story of the first. Stick with the first film and avoid this film because there is nothing to please fans of the first film. If only there would have been more effort into making this film. The end result is a mediocre film that fails to be fun and entertaining. Just because it's a Disney film, doesn't necessarily mean it's good. The Lion King 2 Simba's Pride is a missed opportunity to make a good sequel to a great film. This film is mediocre and doesn't stand out, which is a shame because because The Lion King was such a great film for people of all ages.Alex r Super Reviewer
