The Lion King II: Simba's Pride

The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (1998) is a Disney animated sequel you can watch online on iFILM. Simba now rules Pride Rock, and his cub daughter Kiara is every bit as headstrong as he once was.

Kiara slips away from her babysitters Timon and Pumbaa and wanders into the Outlands, where she befriends a lonely cub named Kovu. What she doesn't know is that Kovu was raised to be Scar's heir. His mother, the embittered Zira, has spent years plotting revenge and wants her son on Simba's throne. The closer the two cubs grow, the harder it becomes to keep the prides from war. The voice cast includes Matthew Broderick, Neve Campbell, Nathan Lane and James Earl Jones.

Directed by Darrell Rooney, the film carries the original's musical spirit into a new chapter built around two feuding clans, an echo of Romeo and Juliet on the savanna. An easy pick for a family movie night. Stream The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (1998) online on iFILM.
