The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (later retitled The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride) is an American direct-to-video film released by the Walt Disney Company on October 27, 1998, as a sequel to the 1994 film The Lion King. It was later re-released as a special edition DVD (which altered the original title's "II" into "2") on August 31, 2004.
The film centers around Simba's daughter, Kiara, who falls in love with Kovu, a male lion who was raised in a pride of Scar's followers, who are Simba's enemies. Desperate to be together, they must overcome the two obstacles that are keeping them apart: Simba and Kovu's mother, Zira.
This film was not rated until the two-disc Special Edition was released. It was then given a G rating by the MPAA.
While the original film's plot seems to have been inspired on the William Shakespeare play Hamlet, this sequel's plot is similar to another Shakespear play, Romeo and Juliet.
