The Lion King II: Simba's Pride

The Lion King II: Simba's Pride is a 1998 animated musical film produced by Walt Disney Studios and released by Walt Disney Home Video and the sequel to The Lion King.

The story takes place in a kingdom of lions in Africa and was influenced by William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. According to co-director Darrell Rooney, the final draft gradually became a variation of Romeo and Juliet.

Why It's Great:

 * 1) Beautiful animation, just like the first film, and The Lion King 1½.
 * 2) Great songs, literally all of them are memorable.
 * 3) Zira is almost as great a villain as Scar was.
 * 4) Some scenes with Timon and Pumbaa are funny.
 * 5) Nuka's death was emotional.
 * 6) A great setup from the last film.
 * 7) Delivers a very strong message about peace and feuds.
 * 8) Kiara and Kovu's relationship is greatly executed and even important, with it being based off of Romeo and Juliet but they settle the feud between their tribes instead of killing themselves.
