- 9/18/98: Return to Pride Rock, a companion CD to the TLK
sequel Simba's Pride, has been released, and is available in many
record stores nationwide. The CD consists of "Songs inspired by the movie
Simba's Pride", and features songs from the movie as well as
original pieces by Lebo M.
There is some confusion as to whether Return to Pride Rock is in
fact the soundtrack CD to Simba's Pride; The soundtrack is slated
for general release on September 29, so we will know for
certain then.
