Like a decent amount of Disney's direct-to-video sequels, Lion King II proceeds with structure and situations that are like the first film, but with a twist. While the powerful "Circle of Life" opening from the original is impossible to duplicate, Simba's Pride begins promisingly with a similar sequence that uses the song "He Lives in You", written for the follow-up soundtrack Rhythym of the Pride Lands and incorporated into the much-praised Broadway play. But, to its credit, Simba's Pride happens to feel like a very good traditionalĪnimated sequel, easily surpassing the great majority of Disney's direct-to-video fare. Lacking the power and prestige of its predecessor and the clever irreverence and humor of Lion King 1½, The Lion King II feels like a traditional animated sequel. If you can view the three Lion King films as a loose trilogy, then you might consider The Lion King II: Simba's Pride the weak link.
