Hi everyone!

I was really upset when I missed the preview from SP last week, but I thank all of you who summerized it. I am sure we will all be seeing the preview again with more detail as the new movies(i.e. The Little Mermaid and Flubber) become available. From all the rumors I have heard so far, the wait will be well worth it.


on a side note, Ann a.k.a FBI agent, I looked up your profile on aol and it says you are only 16/17 years old...Since when did the FBI start recruting teenagers to bust all the fans of the Disney corporation?

Anna, I understand that you are just doing your job but if you search the web a little bit, you will find hundreds of pages where Disney images are used without permission. The owners of those images are aware of the existence of those pages but they don't mind because the maintainers of those pages DO NOT INTEND TO MAKE MONEY BY USING THOSE IMAGES!!!!! And they ALWAYS make clear that those images belong to Disney. And I agree with the others : you shouldn't post messages like this one here.Why did you post this here in the first place? If you want a word with the maintainer of the page with the S.P. pictures, go to his page and email him. And for one last time: You don't have to email Disney because they already know about it and believe me, they must feel really honoured that such wonderful sites are created for their movies.

And FBI agent? Sheesh, yeah right. Hey party basher, get a plausible idea ;)
And anyways, id Disney wanted to sue, they`s sue already. They wouldn`t put a goverment organisation to seek out the web [now there`s a waste of money. How hard is it to go to infoseek and type Lion +King?]. From my point of view Disney only profits from us, since we are free comercial.
AND you`d think Disney would rather E-mail "illegal" [gimme a break] site owners and not post they idle threats on newsgroups.

Here`s a hint- get a more belivable idea [like you`r Elvis or something :] and then return. Maybe I`ll fall for it then ;)

Ya know, I think I'll add my own 2 cents to Anna's "concerns."

1) Why just attack us TLK fans? There are Aladdin, Hunchback, Little Mermaid, etc. fans out there, too; why target just us? Now that I think about, why stop at Disney? Has the FBI made any such threats to, say, the Balto fans to talk to Universal?

2) Such material has been on the net long enough for just about *anyone* at Disney to notice (as I recall, we've even had some insiders post *here*), and they haven't said anything to us about hauling all of our rears to court.

3) If Mike Eisner does know, I doubt that he wants to take on the whole Disney fandom for proclaiming their love of own of the company's works. If he told us to take it all off, I for one would boycott Disney, and I'm probably not the only one. All in all, it's not good business to make the fanatics mad *g*

By the Anna, I truly doubt that you're really with the FBI. I'd practically bet money on the fact that you're just a basher. The "You didn't invite me so I'll crash" types. And if you are with the FBI, then, do tell, how are Mulder and Scully?

I needed that. To everyone else, bye.

Also, If you really are FBI(RIGHT!), why don't you post your e-mail address so we can discuss copyright legalities. Otherwise, backoff. I'm sure the fans here have no need of your threats.

Very interesting post, Anna...

Is it a general practice of an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigations to go about threatening others on public newsgroups? Just curious.

I also found it intriguing how you didn't mention an e-mail address for concerned individuals to write to you regarding more acceptable practices for publications of images, or post references to sites informing web publishers of the legalities surrounding copywright infringement. Just food for thought...

LK fans,

Hans Zimmer is NOT doing SP. However for all those of you telling of the web pages of Simbas pride stuff I thank you for making my job easier. Fanfics are Ok but when we have scanned pictures NOT authorized by Disney, you are infringing on the copyright and therefore, lawsuits against you. I would suggest removing the pictures immediately or I will contact Disney.

I just got back from that SP page. The very first picture of the two cubs (I don't have names down yet. ;) ) kind of reminds me of some of the background for the annimated storybook. That paticular pic I could say is just something modified...check out Mtanga, for example, at: http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Studio/3789/index.html. Until I get a scanner and can use my hand-drawn pics, well, she's a modified Rafiki.

Just a couple of things:


-"Binti" means "miss" in Swahili. Sure, Zazu and his girlfriend miss.

-The cheetah off-siders remind me of the cheetahs (or maybe they were leapards) described in _The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe_ who helt Aslan's crown and scepter--true, they had little purpose other than that, but there is a slight resemblence.

-If Scar has a pride, wouldn't they be slightly offended when Scar left for the Pridelands? Why would he go on his own without them?

-Any word about Zimmer for SP? I love that guy!

-Rafiki in it? He's my friend.

-Why do we drive on parkways and drive on parkways? Whoops, got carried away. ;)

There, my 2 cents worth.

OK, good news, y'all...

As I write this, I just saw the first preview aired on ABC during the Barbara Walter's special. There was a PREVIEW for "The Lion King: Simba's Pride"... no animation from the movie yet, just voice-overs of previous used material from the first film to advertise it... but it was EXCITING!!! OK, let the rumors REALLY begin to fly now... but it did say "October 1998". And if Disney's own television station advertises it on the same night as the Oscars, then we know something must be up, right? :)

I visited the Extraordinary Disney Animation Page again and I noticed that a new character has been added to the S.P. character list: VITANI, a female cub.It is not known which pride she belongs to and by whom she will be voiced.And the villainess, as many of you already said, will be named Zira.Also, I just read your messages concerning the LK Broadway Musical and I must say that the scene where Nala scratches Scar on his face sounds great.Just imagine what would happen if this was in the movie too:After Scar sends the hyenas out of his cave he starts thinking that it's time to choose a quin. Then Nala enters and after realising Scar's purpose, she scratces him and rans out.She tells the other lionesses that she has to go and after singing "Shadowland" she goes away.Then we go straight to the "Under the stars" scene where Timon, Pumba and Simba are lying on the grass.After that we can assume that Scar mated with Zira { I don't know if she were a member of the pride or not}.

This is what I've found out so far, through other websites and places:
None of the characters you know, and love, leave. This story is a contunuation, and is more about Simba's daughter, and Simba's coming to terms with her growing up.
Zazu is hardly in it, but Timon and Pumbaa are back in fine form. (Originally they were supposed to be going "Around the World". ie the TV Series.
Sarabi must be on vacation, since she isn't in it, and the Hyenas are off somewhere else too. There are 5 new main characters introduced, Simba's daughter, Kovu, the villianess, and her 2 offsiders. And of course, Scar's pride.
Oh, and with that cub being Scar's, I don't think it is. Why would Scar, even with his evil, twisted mind, send the mother of his child out to hunt? even in a time like that?
Oh, well. I do have a very small number of small pictures of the new cubs in the Lion King 2, but my computer is doing odd things right now and won't let me open them or send them anywhere. When they work, I'll let you know. 'Bye!

Just an observation (from one who is way on the Disney outside. No connections no nothing.): Note that in the TLK musical Scar attempts to mate with NALA. I heard here...I think, that there was originally a scene with Scar and SARABI. The thing is that in the musical, the ordering is reversed: Instead of a scene where Sarabi comes to Scar AFTER Nala has left, it's before...and it was due to his actions then, one can assume, that she left the "Shadowlands.:" Now...I've only got the soundtrack at the pont, so I don't know if Scar was *ahem* succusful with Nala. It doesn't sound like he was, based on Scar's statement "You know how I loathe violence..." so I'm assuming she bit him or something...guess I'll have to wait a few weeks 'til I find out for sure (Yay! I'm goin' to see it!) But anyway...what I'm getting at is: perhaps Nala was impregnated BEFORE going to find Simba...so maybe the cub at the end was really Scar's...ugh...cub anyway? OK, I doubt it, and franlky, I don't really care. It was just a strange thought I had this morning...

It showed short clips of numerous movies, most have already been shown like The Love Bug, Oliver Twist, Cinderella, and Pocahontas. One of the clips was of The Lion King. Maybe they will show The Lion King and who knows, maybe they will show the sequel like they did with Pocahontas. Keep your eyes and ears peeled.

DUCKY and ALICIA -- I seriously doubt that ABC will be running TLK this year, as they already ran it in November (or December) of 1996.

TLK friends,

We are gathered here by our computers for when TLK2 comes out, well I have news. Simba's Pride advertisement's may be seen on upcoming Disney movies that are coming to video such as Pocahontas 2. So, for those of you hoping to see a trailer for it like James Falk, wait a while. ABC will probably not show The Lion King movie this year if not maybe in the summer but I doubt they will. So, if anyone wants to argue about my knowledge then consider this: I know a teacher who works at Disneyland, he also has friends who work at the main headquaters, my animation teacher knows about Disney animation, and I have every single Disney movie that's come out on video. So whoever thinks that I know nothing about sequels should email me. If you dare.

Alicia AKA "Timon" :)

GUESS WHAT?? I just signed on the LK list at zazu.lionking.org. I'm now a member of Zazu's mailing list. COOL!!! My nick name is Banzai because my friends looked scared at me because I looked like a hyean when I'm mad. Also, someone e-mailed me a movie poster of TLK2: SIMBA'S PRIDE. Here's the whole story: Simba has a daughter named Kiara. An outlander cub named Kovu has a mission for revenge of Scar's death. Zira is Scar's widow, who has her eyes on the Pride Land throne. But when the 2 cubs fall in love, I don't know what's gonna happen next. All Kiara can do must convince her father that even a outlander cub must be friends with other pride. Could someone e-mail me pics of Zira??? Maybe she looks like a feminine counter-part of Scar. Send me some pics.

I just visited the site with the pictures of LK2.
They look like the color model sheets I saw when I went on a tour, they are not from the show but air-brushed promotional stuff probably. They could be artwork for the cover? When is the last time Disney used still from the movie? The first picture isn't from the movie, since the background is wrong, and the outlines are black, and now they are using coloured outlines. (check out Enchanted Christmas.) And why can't they be cubs? They used different voices for adults and cubs in the movie? Anyway, you only have to wait 7 months to wait for it to come out. :)

Well after discovering this message board, and reading almost all the message, you guys got me really intrigued. I find it hard to believe, though, that Simba would be worrying over Scar's son being the next king. If you go to the Disney web site, and read the Lion King story book, they had a son at the end of the first movie. So he would be the next king. I haven't been able to learn anymore info besides that, since the Disney searches turned up nil on a sequel. Not very important, but it's something. =) Hakuna Matata!

RENE: The "Mr. Pig" line was one of the movie's in-joke references to other movies. I believe that it was a reference to In The Heat of the Night (I think that's the right movie; someone correct me if I'm wrong), in which one of the characters, when disrespectfully addressed simply by his last name, Tibbs, uttered the line "They call me MR. Tibbs." Hope this clears things up.

BTW, I'll also miss Jeremy Irons quite a bit.

I didn't know people would see it like that.

Don't you think I know how hard it is to get some information from celebrities?? I didn't ask Neema to walk to mr. Cummings and fire all her questions! I was only suprised that she didn't ask him a lot of questions. She sounded like she has no problems dealing with mr. Cummings. Almost like she knows him for years.

By the way, it was her saying that if anyone had any questions she would be happy to ask Jim!
I only asked her one question, what's the big deal to you anyway? I thought this rumour mill was for people who like to know everything about the sequel? Or maybe everybody likes the tension, could be of course. If you know too much by now allready, it isn't exciting anymore...

Whatever, I didn't mean to push Neema. I'm just curious, that's all. I hardly can't wait to see the movie. Lately there was not so much news on the rumour mill, except the discussion if the cub at the end of The Lion King would be male or female... I hoped Neema could give us some new information.

Neema, I'm sorry if I pushed you!
Don't do anything you regret later.

In fact, I think there'll be new songs to it. But one thing is bothering me: WHY DOES PUMBAA GET ANGRY WHENEVER HE'S CALLED, PIG??? Maybe he doesn't like it because he wants to be called MR. PIG.

Hi, i have to agree w/ arctus. Neema, we all are very excited about you knowing Jim and were all very anxious about the info.

Firstly, to Neema, thank you for sharing with us all of the information that you have in regards to your conversations with Jim Cummings. Obviously, we're all very interested in any details you have to offer.

However, I would like to speak my mind on an issue. However unintentional, I feel that some of the prodding that Neema is getting is a bit... well, rude. I understand that she's offered to pass along information, but I really feel that some TLK fans here are getting awfully pushy-sounding... or is it just me that's sensing the negative vibes?

For those who are unfamiliar with being in productions with celebrities or even semi-celebrities, it can be sometimes near impossible getting them to talk about their work. While I don't know Jim Cummings, nor do I know whether or not he enjoys discussing his upcoming involvement in his craft, he may be bound by contract through Disney not to discuss certain things about the movie... such as whether or not Simba will or will not die, or if there's an incestuous relationship involving between pride members. But beyond that, Neema has to keep a professional working relationship as an actor/production staff/theater rep while in this production, and if she incessantly quizzes other talent for info, she may find herself in a very uncomfortable situation.

OK, nuff scolding. Sorry. Neema has a rare opportunity to gather some good stuff about "Simba's Pride". We should let her use her best judgement in broaching the subject with Mr. Cummings if she so chooses, and NOT chide her for not doing so previously nor in the future. Remember, she's the one who lives with the consequences of her decisions, not us. If she would rather stay on friendly terms rather than come off as a badgering groupie, then I say more power to her! Besides, the movie WILL come out. Eventually, we're all gonna see it, know the plot, and rejoice!

OK, well, that's it for me. This post isn't meant to offend or insult, which is why I've left it nameless. I just hope this provokes some forethought before a potentially bad situation blows up on our screens. If anyone cares to resond/reprimand/flame/take a cheap shot at me on this, please do so to my personal address, as this issue really needn't be discussed further on the Rumor Mill. Thanks! :)

If Kovu and Kiara look like characters from fan fiction, I would have to guess that it is strictly coincidental. The characters look exactly how I imagined they would. If a character is going to be Simba's daughter, it isn't really too hard to guess what she'll look like, especially if the appearance has been hinted at (meaning the end of the original Lion King film). The same goes for Kovu. I'm not really sure what Kovu and Scar's relationship is, but it is known that originally Kovu was to be Scar's son. There aren't really a heck of a lot of different ways you can make a character that evokes the feeling of Scar. There's the nose, eyes, hair, and coloring. So if a fan came up with something similar, it was probably a coincidence. Think about it. If you came up with a son for Goofy, it would probably end up looking like Max from "Goof Troop" or "A Goofy Movie."

If Kovu isn't Scar's son, a possible explanation of their similar traits is this: Disney already designed the character, liked the design, and just changed the story. Audiences could think of Scar when they saw Kovu, and accept the fact that Kovu and Kiara are a couple because Kovu isn't Scar's son. Maybe Kovu is Scar's "chosen son" because they look similar to each other. Ever seen "The Prince and the Pauper", people?

If Kovu and Kiara are a couple, I seriously doubt Kovu and Scar are related.

To Aardwulf: I meant exactly what I said, that Kiara LOOKED like nothing I had ever SEEN in fan-art. I dodn't say anything about characters PORTRAYED in Fan-fiction, which is an altogether different matter. I was referring exclusively to the way she looked. No offence taken, so don't worry.
Bye,
Chris.
PS: The material I have says nothing about cub/adult versions of the characters and gives only one voice for each new character:
Neve Campbell as Kiara
Suzanne Pleshette as Zira
It says nothing as to who voices Kovu. Of course this is NOT an exhaustive cast list so it's quite possible there are young/adult versions and, or course, there will be other characters.

Hi, ok this question is for every0ne but is Zira supposed to be the evil lioness? anouther thing. Someone posted earlier about the voice difference between Neve Cambpell and Lacey Charbet. whoever it was was right, lacey has the voice of a little girl, but on the thing for Neve it said she was doing Kiara. Now, we know that the pics at tim's page are of Kiara and Kovu as little cubs. i think that Lacey will do kid Kiara and Neve will do Adult Kiara. But i guess we wont know untill it comes out, and also, to whoever posted last, i dont think its going to theatres. If they put the return of jafar to theatres, it would have bombed, and they know that now. they may fear that Simbas Pride might bomb as well. there arent alot of people like us out there who apreciate the lion king and might not go see it and then disney will not make alot of money cause then no1 will buy it on tape if they heared it bombed in theatre. this is my opinion and i hope it doesnt go to theatre cause 1, it may bomb, and 2, we will have to wait longer to get it on tape!

Two things:

To Chris, who said that the pics of cub Kiara "is unlike any fan-art I...have ever seen": I think she looks quite a bit like Sarabi, and in at least a couple of fanfics, during their cubhood Taka and Sarabi seemed interested in each other romantically. Please don't take this as a personal affront--it's just my observation. :)

To anyone who's reading: Have you heard of this book called "Mouse Under Glass"? For the life of me I can't remember the names of the author or publisher (I'll try to post this info as soon as possible), but it has some VERY interesting info on TLK. Basically, the book is all about bloopers, in-jokes, and discarded stuff in Disney animated films. First, it says that in addition to "Warthog Rhapsody", EJ and TR wrote another song which never made it to the final cut, called "The Lion in the Moon", a lullabye for Sarabi to sing to Simba after his encounter with the hyenas. (However, there's no mention of "To Be King".) The book also mentions a discarded plot involving some childhood friends of Simba and Nala's--among them "Nala's kid brother Mheetu and her wisecracking friend Bhati, a bat-eared fox." Didja notice the spelling of the name there? In TAoTLK, the name is spelled "Mee-Too"--only in fanfic (to my knowledge) has anyone ever spelled it t'other way, and it was never mentioned in any other "official" Disney sources whether the third cub was related to the other two. Interesting, no?

Oh, yeah, one more thing. I called someone at my local Disney Store about SP, and they said it was going to go to the theatres first. H'mmmmm...

Just one more thing....I got my very own "TLK on Broadway" soundtrack for my birthday! Huzza! :D

This is to Chris Boyce. You're right, Photoshop does wonders for forgery, but I meant to say that it would be a waste of time for fans to do so. they would only be hurting other fans. My most sincere apologies if you thought I was attacking your position. You had valid reasons to be sceptical, I'm not against you.

Would you be able to post what the source was that you found the photos in?


Feb 15 - 15:22

Chris Boyce

Location: Isle of Wight, UK
E-mail: talami@globalnet.co.uk

Hello All,
Right, I was the one to question the authenticity of the pictures. I will not reiterate my reasons here, you can all go to alt.fan.lion-king to read the discussion for yourselves. Yes, my scepticism was primarily prompted by some of the rumours that have been posted here, I do not see any more difficulty in faking pictures (ever heard of Photoshop?) than text.
I have seen one source of these pictures (though not the source of the ones on Tim's page) and I am now convinced that they are genuine. This however leads me to other problems, particularly the quality of SP, if these pics are anything to go by, which I sincerely hope they are not.
Part of my disbelief was prompted by that fact that Kovu (Scar's son, so the information I have imples, at least he's the son of Scar's 'widow' Zira) bears a striking resemblance to a set of 'Scar as a cub' drawings done by a fan. Kiara, however is unlike any fan-art that I, nor anyone I know, has ever seen.
So, there you are, if you want anyone to blame for the sceptism then I'm your man.
Oh yes, it appears the Scar's Pride rumours have a sound basis in fact, except that they are the 'Outlands', and yes, Kovu has been 'trained' to avenge Scar's death but becomes romantically entangled with Kiara, Simba's daughter (who may or may not be the cub presented at the end of TLK). This does indeed sound a little like 'Romeo and Juliet' so now we know where that idea came from, but don't expect the starcrossed voyagers, ooops, lovers to commit suicide (or even one of them), this IS DISNEY after all and the primary age range is 2-7!
Bye,
Chris.

I want to clear something up. I've read some things on the newsgroups that have moved me to speak my mind. The argument about the Simba's Pride page is that since the plot rumors are confliciting and probably not true, the images that the owner recently added are fakes.

Some people believe that the Kiara/Kovu pics are highly-glorified fan artwork paintings. I'd like all of the people on this side of the argument to go through the fan art archives on the web and point out all of the drawings that appear totally authentic. I have to say even my own art, which is black and white sketch, isn't nearly Disney. Every artist has a certain style, and most people besides Disney animators can't really do Disney.

Besides, I'd like to know if there are any good TLK fans that were wierd enough to forge TLK art and pass it off as Simba's Pride art. It would only hurt TLK fans. It wouldn't gain the artist anything.

I can understand where the text might be unbelievable, but anyone can type anything. You can't perfectly reproduce a work of art, no matter how hard you try.

Very encouraging info, Steve! :) This is just a guess based off of the information I've seen so far. I'm betting that Disney puts the preview for Simba's Pride on the re-release of "The Little Mermaid". Timing-wise, it seems the most appropriate, especially if it's a release-to-video project.

Just my two cents worth! :)

About all this 'Kovu is not Scar's son'. Well, I did a play and whatever--Jim Cummings 'n his daughter were in it. I asked him about it and this is what he said:
"It's 'bout Simba's daughter, Shani, and Scar's son, Kovu. They fall in love or something... I'm being Ed like in the original movie... I'll tell yah when more comes up."
It was last night when he told me. =)

Hello everyone!
Thank you for telling about those pics Vicky!
They're really cute. But I Kiara isn't exactly alike the cub at the end of TLK. She doesn't have those black tints on her ears. But on the other hand, Simba didn't have black markings on his ears as a baby and he lost them as an adult...

Anyway, thanks again Vicky.

I hate to bring this up again, and please, nobody kill me, but Kiara looks just like the cub from The Lion King. I guess Disney knew that people would notice if Kiara looked too different from the cub at the end of The Lion King.

To see for yourself, print out the pictures of Kovu and Kiara and then look at the the end of The Lion King.

Good Job informing us of the Simba's Pride photos, Vicky!

I must say that Kovu looks very much like Scar, and even though I have been thinking that he isn't Scar's son, I'm not so sure now.

I, too, thought the characters were supposed to be adults, and perhaps they will appear as both children and adults in the film, just as Simba and Nala did in the original Lion King.

I'm glad Simba's Pride will showcase new characters instead of wearing down the old ones like the "Aladdin" sequels or "Beauty and the Beast: the Enchanted Christmas."

On another note, ABC will broadcast Pocahontas on March 1, which will include cut footage and a preview of the Pocahontas sequel. They are already showing clips of the Poca sequel in the commercial (Poca in a gown with some guy with brown hair). I'm not a fan of Pocahontas, but I thought maybe someone out there was, and they'd like to pass this along.

If the Poca sequel is scheduled for August, and they are already previewing it, then a preview of Simba's Pride can't be too far off. I'd guess there could be one in the summer.

Hi readers! I was watching The Lion King last night and heard a Scar voice. It all started when Zazu was singing that coconut song in the rib cage. At the end when Zazu was done singing he said " I never would hve done this when Mufasa was here." When Zazu say's this if you can listen closly you can here Scar mumbling something and then saying "What did you say? " you can barely here him when he say's that. Then he say's it out loud and clear. Is this my imagination or did he really whisper but yell that? If you heard Scar say that. If you heard this whisper please E-Mail me.

Hello again folks,
Here's a little background to that release. It is part of a press release put out through PRnewswire (a web based financial and business news agency) and as far as I can tell the tone, language and content are entirely consistent with it being genuine. It is suposedly from Buena Vista Home Entertainment (i.e. Disney Videos to us folks) and I cannot see anything that conflicts with that. The entire release includes info on the Pocahontas sequel and other videos to be released this year. I beleive it is genuine.
As for James Earl Jones/Mufasa, well, I have no idea what the release really means by that comment. It could mean he's got one 'Remember' from the clouds... or, well who knows? It could just mean that someone said 'Oh yeah, all the main voices are returning.' and that got translated by someone into 'JEJ is in it.' You can't read very much into it.
It does strongly suggest that the film is about Simba's (male) cub when he comes of age. As that is so different to any of the runours I suspect that we can safely assume that Disney have played this very close to their chests and all the rumours will be shown to be just that - rumours. You read and make up your mind.
I can supply a copy of the full release on request by e-mail. There is no more SP info available however, that's all there is.
Bye,

Hello All,
Ok, I know this will be a blow to many of you but here's part of a press release beleived to be from Disney:

Based on Disney's "The Lion King," the $767 million worldwide box-office smash
and number one video of all-time, "The Lion King: Simba's Pride" (debuting October 27) continues the "circle of life" in the Pridelands as Simba's heir
to the throne comes-of-age.  The all-new movie features six original songs and the
return of the all-star cast including James Earl Jones as the voice of Mufasa,
Matthew Broderick as Simba, Nathan Lane as Timon and Ernie Sabella as the voice of Pumbaa.

Make of this what you will, but 'heir' sounds male to me.

In regards to TLKoB, I would imagine that should Disney ever decide that the Broadway rendition is a financially worthwhile endeavor, then yes, you will end up seeing a touring version of the show. However, I am unaware that they have done the same thing for their previous show, Beauty & the Beast, to date. Considering how complex the production is, I would guess that it will be a few years before we see a touring show. Perhaps after the sequel is released, then such an event will take place.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not have any factual basis, this is just my two cents worth. :) Ciao.

It seems to me that Disney make us look like fools! Maybe they didn't mean it that bad, but it seems to me that they are teasing us with the previeuw on the Hercules tape (in the Netherlands we'll have to wait till September or October)!! Now I know for sure that Disney checks up this whole Rumor Mill! Or else they wouldn't use such a sneaky detail in a previeuw. They knew that we were hoping to see a previeuw of Simba's Pride.

Now Disney, read this: I certainly hope the sequel will be worth looking at it. Don't make a movie anymore just like you did with Aladdin (Return of Jafar) etc. which are movies just fun enough for little children! Bestow much care on the animated movies. Maybe we'll have to wait longer, but if it's worth it I don't care!

After all, the competition just started with "Anastasia"! Which is also very nice to look at. I'm a great Disney fan, so I think Disney is still best in making long animated pictures. They still have that little extra which makes the movie just perfect. What if the makers of "Anastasia" will find this little 'extra' and use it for their purpose?......
Please, don't disapoint me and all the other Disney fans.

Back to the first question: Ok, lots of people here are disaggreeing over wether the cub in the in the end of TLK1 is a male or a female. The plot is this for TLK2: Simba's daughter (Which is going to be named Aisha, Shani, or Kiara)(Most likely Kiara) falls for a good looking lion named Kovu. Kovu was originally going to be Scar's son, but Disney dropped that(understandibly). There might be a second cub in Simba's Pride(The name of the second movie)that is a boy and might be named Chaka. That might be what you were referring to. I hope I have answered a few of your questions. Bye!

Well it's too bad that there was no preview of Simba's Pride in Hercules.I haven't got the tape yet but I would also have been fooled by Simba and Nala.Last year some people used to believe that there would be a preview in HoND but I thought that it was a bit too early. But this time there SHOULD BE one! Anyway, I am posting because I just noticed that there is a Simba's Pride site on the Internet movie Database.It's not ready yet but anyway, the address is http://us.imdb.com/cache/title-exact/112214 I have also noticed that many TLK fans believe that Nala's father in Scar.The movie itself prooves that this is not true: In the graveyard scene while the hyenas are ready to kill Simba and Nala,Scar is watching everything from above but he doesn't make the slightest effort to help Nala.Altough he is cruel, I don't think he would really let them kill her if she were his daughter! And yet, remember his line :'' I practically gift- wrapped those cubs for you and you couldn't even dispose of them". I don't think he appreciates Nala very much. Last of all I want to say that in the end of TLK Nala's cub was supposed to be male because it was presented to the animals since it was the future king.In many TLK pages I found that it's name was either Chaka or Naba which were said to be official names. But maybe a princess could be presented too so the cub could also have been a girl.Anyway, in the sequel it is sure that Simba will have a daughter.

Hello folks,
Try and keep a sense of perspective and common sense about this trailer thing. I have not seen Hercules on video (we in the UK wont for a while). The line about 'before a cub became a king' was just a reference to films BEFORE TLK, i.e before we were shown how a cub became a king, we were shown these other films, nothing more. Disney are not trying to wind anyone up, and certainly not us. If you beleive for one moment that we are worth winding up in Disney's eye then forget it and go get a life. Previews for SP will appear when Disney are good and ready, accept it and wait patiently.

On another point, yes Kathleen Turner was rumoured sometime ago to be a/the villainess. However there has been practically no other hard information for sometime and it may well be that this relates to an earlier plot, maybe she's been dropped. I have seen no substantiation that she is to have 'two offsiders' as some folks will have you beleive, and personally I strongly suspect this is the product of a fan's over-eager imagination.

Chris.

They said "before a lion cub becomes a king" and then they do the same for Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and i think Pochahontas, I think. Ok, since they redid the whole project, they must have taken the preview out because there was supposed to be one on Hercules. It has to be on one video before it comes out, so now we have:the re-release of Peter Pan,The re-release of The Little Mermaid, and Pocahontis 2. There might be more but those are the only ones I know of now. Were just going to have to be a wee bit more patient. On the tape though, there was a preview for Mulan, and it looks really good.

Simba and Nala have both a son and a daughter, the daughter's name is Danger (and boy does she live up to her name!) And their son's name is Tanabi. Danger unfortunately, takes more after Scar's side of the family, she has his color but it's a little lighter, and basically the plot is this: Simba and Nala's cubs Danger and Tanabi are born, after the ceremony, Scar (yes he returns unfortunately) kidnaps Danger, now he has her thinking that he's her father. The search for Simba's daughter is held immediately after and-

Neema, why are you so sure that the cub is female? As Hong Kong Phooey said it's not officially male or female. I also thought it must be a male but he convinced me. The important thing is: the audience think that it is a male because he/she has the same fur color like Simba. They don't think about some spots and compare the two cubs. They just think it is a male. And if it's suddenly a female in the sequel the audience is astonished because all have seen a "male" in the end of TLK. They maybe think "Hey, where's that cub from the first movie?" Question: what are those spots you're talking about? Do you mean the spots which disappeared when Rafiki held up Simba? However, if there's a preview on the Hercules video we will know more about that topic.

What I mean is, there might be a boy AND a girl. I just can't see why Disney doesn't make Simba's son fall for another girl whom Simba doesn't know, but that wouldn't make it as good then.

But, I think if there was a male, people, think realisticly. Wouldn't that cub inherit the throne? Then his sister would have to find another pride, unless the male was totally sick or something.

But, there is a loophole in the movie. No-one ever SAYS the cub is a male. That's simply what the movie implies. What if both a male AND a female were born, the male was shown to the crowd, and died a little time later? Then the female should get to choose a male to inherit the throne and be her husband.

Also, just a female could have been born, and SHE was shown to the crowd? I think this is the most probable theory, and is probably what Disney planned.
Whew!

Why do everyone have to argue if Simba and Nala's cub is male or female? We won't know until the sequel comes out. Disney can do whatever they want and chance the cub's sex whenever they want.
It may be male, it may be female, and it may be two cubs, one male and one female. We don't know anything for shure!

Thomas, it is not "absolutely certain" that Simba and Nala's cub at the end of The Lion King is a male. As I posted earlier, I wrote Dave Smith, head of Walt Disney Archives, and the cub is not officially a male.

Panther, while The Lion King Musical and film have differences, I believe they are regarded as the same entity. Scar is NOT Nala's father. How many times do we have to run through this?

If speculations like this are made, why not really go crazy and assume that Timon and Pumbaa are lovers, Mufasa had affairs with all the lionesses, Zazu is in the closet, Sarabi and Sarafini are a couple, and Shenzi, Banzai and Ed are involved in a love triangle? Enough with the crazy speculations!

Hi, me again. Here's a dialog I had with a person who works for Disney. This dialog is from december last year (97):

ME: do you know anything about a Lion King sequel?
HE/SHE: yes, but it is going direct-to-video release and it is not till next october it is call simba's pride
ME: do you know anything about the story? Someone told me Simba might die.
HE/SHE: don't know only have release dates.
ME: oohh..not till october, right?
HE/SHE: you got it I know it will be a long wait
ME: yeah...rather long
HE/SHE: yes sorry
HE/SHE: what do you want to know? have release date for the next year (1998).
ME: exactly the day?
HE/SHE: don't have that
ME: but it won't be released later than '98?
HE/SHE: yes
ME: it will be a direct-to-video release?
HE/SHE: yes pocahontas 2 is also going direct to video
ME: there's also a sequel?
HE/SHE: yes will be out in august
ME: oh..I hope the sequels are well done. a bad sequel can hurt a good movie.
HE/SHE: yes very much so

I thought you might find it useful and so I wrote it down here, so all TLK fans can have a share in it. I think it's rather sure that TLK2 will be released in october.

Bye.

I do hope TLK2 does come out in October, but hey, if it does it probably won't come out till 1999 in Australia(damn, damn..)Till I found this site I'd given up hope of a sequel. When they put out Timon and Pumbaa I thought 'so this is what the Lion King's become. How SUCKY!' I mean, it was like a bugs bunny cartoon. One of the things I liked best about TLK was the cast was entirely animals who sorta acted like animals, well in t+p there were people, t+p acted like people...
Anyway, I read that TLK made more money than Pocahontas, Hunchback and Hercules combined and I can see why, the only one i liked was Hercules and i think it wouldn't be much good on the small screen and more than 3 times.
Have you noticed that every year they put out the movie(hunchback or whatever) in Australia its in september. TLK was still showing by Feb but Hunchback etc. but by about november they've gone from the movies and they put out a different movie(a backup) in december. is it like that in USA?
They'res hardly any lion king stuff left in the shops now everyone bought it all! I hope that tlk2 is as good as the lion king not like Timon and Pumbaa!

Hallo, it's me again!

I haven't been here for a while and now I want to say the following: I think it's better that Disney takes the time to animate Simba's Pride. Perhaps it will be more authentic than the previous sequels. I hope it won't end up in a mess like they did with "Return Of Jafar" and I also hope that they take great trouble over it! In my opinion there will be no trailer on the Hercules tape. It's a rather long time till october 27th and maybe they'll change the whole project again. About the cub at the end of TLK: It's absolutly clear that it is a male. Perhaps Disney will change it into a girl 'cause they want it to be a girl in the sequel. I'm anxious to see that cub in the sequel again. It would be very weird if it has a dark fur like Simba. But it would be even more nutty with a light fur!

IM ALITTLE MAD RIGHT NOW!! why is Pocahontis 2 coming out before Simba's Pride?! thats not fair! I think Disney knows that TLK was alot more sucessful than Pocahontis(in my opinion, Pocahontis wasnt that good, or it might have seemed that way because we were expecting more because i think that after every movie, they make a better one but TLK was too good to overlap and alot of people were disapointed w/ Pocahontis) Is this all because of the thing where they had to start all over? i bet thats what it is because TLK2 was schedualed before Poca2 and then had to change tlk2 because of the cousins in love thing so it was moved back to october instead of june. im sorry for getting mad but i am! oh, there are only 4 more days untill hercules comes out on tape and there BETTER be a preview for Simba's Pride!

Okay, here are a few things about Lion King stuff. I got this book called The Pal Patrol(it's brand new) and at one point Zazu comes up to Simba and says "Simba, one of the *cubs* has got its head caught in the tree again(because Timon and Pumbaa were teaching them bug hunting techniques)" So, there might be two or more cubs in the sequal. Also, they came out with the Lion King beanie babies, there is 4 in the set, Simba, Nala, Timon, and Pumbaa. They're six dollers, so go by them today!! Also, Scar can't be Nala's father, because in the "Madness of King Scar" Scar falls in love with Nala and asks her to be his queen (she refused) so inles Disney is *very* sick, Scar can't be Nala's father. The person who wrote about Simba's Pride coming out in October, is probably right because Disney e-mailed me back and they gave me the list of movies intil August (including a Pocohontas sequal, and the Little Toaster goes to Mars) so maybe Simba's Pride will come out on October 27th as said. Well that's my little imput.Thanks for reading. Simba rules over all!!!

Hi- haven't been able to post for a while, so three points :-
1] The Disney Company have issued a press release confirming Simba's Pride will be released on October 27th, so that's official. Check out the actual release on Tim's page. O.k., it's a long time to wait, but at least we now know.

2] Siti - the six books you are looking for are published by a European firm called Grolier - I'll try to find the actual address and post it here. They also did a series of six Pocahontas and Hunchback of Notre Dame prequel/sequel books, but TLK were of the highest standard.

3]In response to Bill's suggestion - this is interesting; Romeo and Juliet is essentially an archetypal story, and what we know - or think we know - of Simba's Pride seems to fit the mold quite well. Disney were intending to animate Romeo & Juliet in the early ninties, but eventually went with the Pocahontas variant instead. If anyone is interested, I've heard Disney's up and coming animated feature Timber is basically King Lear with bears (The Bear King?), so Shakespeare is clearly very IN at the moment.

Cheers, Pip.

There's even a lion in it that looks just like Scar except he has a brown mane instead of a black one. Guess what part he plays? Yep, the bad guy.

Torby, I have no idea what you are talking about.
I don't think there's anything wrong with Simba having a daughter. At first I thought Simba and Nala's cub was a male, too, but there is no evidence that it was a male at all. The cub does not actually look like baby Simba. And if you'd watch The Lion King again, you would notice that there were indeed some dark colored lionesses. Look at the storm scene where Scar is accusing Adult Simba of being a murderer. Dark Lionesses!
Also, none of the lionesses have typical female cartoon eyelashes, so why would Simba's cub be any different?

On another note, Walt Disney World is about to open two Lion King inspired attractions soon. The first is a Disney's Animal Kingdom. It opens when the park does in April, and uses components from the Lion King Celebration parade that used to be at Disneyland.

The other attraction is a new version of The Enchanted Tiki Room. Audio Animatronic versions ofZazu (from Lion King) and Iago (from Aladdin)host a new version of the old singing bird show.

that the fact that simbe is having a doughter SUCKS! look at the cub at the end of the movie!
It has colors like simba (remenber nala was lighter then him) and the baby is dark like simba! and another thing is that we saw that the father is the one to teach the cub "the facts of life". with mufasa and with simba so how will simba's grandson learn anything if his father is some lion that did'nt learn it??? it's not like scar knew about them because ahadi probebly only tought mufasa! (so that's why scar ended up so scrued up!!!)
so, in 4 words:
what's with the daughter?

Some people are confused about if Neve Campbell Or Lacey Charbet are going to do the voice of Simba's daughter in TLK2. Think about it for a sec, they're going to want a teenage girls voice if Simba's daughter is going to be old anough to like fall in love and get married(at least i think so) Now, for all of you who have watched Party of Five, Lacey has the voice of a five year old(its very anoying as well) so i would think that Neve would be his daughter(kiara) and Lacey might have the voice of a cub in the pack(maybe even Simba's younger daughter if they choosed to have one)

I figure Simba's cub will be female, because she's supposed to fall for Kovu, or whatever his name is now. Plus, in the magazine "Disney Adventures" it stated clearly that Simba's DAUGHTER *ahem* SHANI was going to fall in love with Scar's son KOVU *ahem* and Simba has to come in reality with Scar's son becoming the next king. I read it, and the magazine is written by a Disney personel (sorry if I spelled that wrong, I'm a terrible speller). So, ha!

I got a reponse from Dave Smith at Disney Archives and his answer to the question of the gender of Simba and Nala's cub at the end of The Lion King is that he knows of nothing that would indicate the gender of the cub.

So I guess the cub at the end of the movie isn't officially a male or a female.

I looked up the word "Chaka" in an encyclopedia and could find out the following:

Chaka (1787-1828) was the king of the Zulu people (from 1818-1828). He was born as the son of Senzengakona, the chieftain of a small african tribe. Because his mother was an outcast, the humbled Chaka passed his childhood and youth in exile. As a young man, he became a warrior on duty of the Mthethwa-chieftain called Dingiswayo. When Chaka's father died, Dingiswayo made him the king of the Zulus. After that, Chaka conquered lots of other tribes and integrated them in his Zulu-State. Within on year, he quadrupeld the number of his subjects. But in 1828 he was killed by his half brother Dingane, who became his successor.

When reading all the stated opinions about whether or not Simba's and Nala's cub is a boy or a girl I begin to think that even if it was rather clear that their child is a boy, Disney would not care much. Just look at what they've done with Timon and Pumbaa the cartoon series - the episodes are not quite that authentic compared with TLK (Except perhaps the episode with the 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' song. One other thing: it is not unusual for Lionesses to have more than one cub - so it could be possible that Rafiki simply held up one of the cubs which happened to be male (This is another possible explanation of the Trading Cards saying the cub is actually a boy as well as of the Fluffy thing mentioned on the TLK-Laserdisc)

P.S. Brian, why don't you make a link to the Rumor Mill directly on your Main Page - it would be much easier than first clicking on 'News' and then on 'Rumor Mill'. Apart from that - great work, Brian!!

PSSS TALES OF TANABI "When a lion must become king" WRITIN BY Joshua C. TemPlin AND OTHERS "GREAT STORY GUYS" THANX ITS A MUST READ TLK FANS. AND THE STORY NAMED REDEMPTION IS GOOD TOO.
IF U WANT TO TALK TO A TLK FAN ON AOL TALK TO SIMI3A WHEN U TALK TO ME CALL ME SIMBA EVERY BODY KEEPS CALLING ME SIMI. THAX FOR READING TLK FANS BYE.

Maintainer's note: For the last time, "The Tales of Tanabi" is not in any way a canon source, and Tanabi is not a real name that Disney has ever considered. TToT is a fan-fiction story written in summer 1995, and the author (Josh Templin) hasn't looked at the project since then. (He finds it really funny that people think TToT is being thought of as a Disney-approved storyline.)

Please don't make the mistake of reading fan-fiction stories and considering them as though they were development scripts in use by Disney. Oh, and please take your CAPS LOCK off. -BT

The post Chris has just given has a very good point.

Even at Fox's current "Party of Five" website, it not only lists Neve Cambell as "the leading role" as Kiara, but also says that Lacey Chabert (Claudia from Party of Five) has a role.

For those who don't believe me, please look it up for yourselves at WWW.Fox.com and search for "Party of Five."

So, I believe anything is possible as far as the number of characters.

I strongly believe that the cub at the end of the Lion King is a male. Hello, Rafiki was presenting the future KING Simba to all the animals. If Rafiki presents the future queen also, why didn't he show all the animals Nala, too?

While this is just my opinion, I think it has merit.

Like I said before, Disney could have also changed the cub to a female because they wanted to.

This discussion will end soon, because I have written Disney Archivist Dave Smith asking him what specific gender (if there was one) Simba and Nala's cub was in the final shot. I'll post his information when I get it (which should be in about a week or two, since I am mailing him).

Hello Folks. There is no evidence that the cub being presented at the end of TLK was a single cub. It is almost certain that it was intended to be male. That does not stop female cub/s of Simba and Nala from being in Simba's Pride. There have been so many different names and actor/actresses who've said THEY did the voices that we cannot be sure how many cubs are involved. It may be that there is both an Shani AND an Aisha (and possibly some of the others for that matter) for all we know. The fact is that we KNOW very little for sure. I feel fairly sure that SP will include young cubs, it may or may not include adolescents and adults who could have any interest in mating. The inclusion of the word 'chosen' in 'Scar's chosen son' suggests that maybe it was not Scar's biological son (if such a concept can be applied to animation) but one he adopted. We simply don't know. We won't know for sure until a lot closer to September 1998. At least that is a very likely month - I was the one who found that shoes reference, it is NOT a rumour I made up it is as good as a news item on the TV. It may not be accurate and the date may yet be changed, but who can tell?
Keep and open mind and open eyes, and post anything reliable here!

Bye,
Chris.

FYI, for anyone reading info off the TLK trading cards from Skybox... bear in mind that those cards are in no way "canon". The plot points they describe on the back are as often as not taken from pre-production scripts; some events and dialogue on the cards never even made it to the final cuts. Their referring to the cub as a "son" is about as reliable as using the cub's development name of "Fluffy". :)

This is about the debate over whether or not Simba and Nala's cub was a boy or a girl. I regarded my Lion King trading cards, and in card number 65 of the first series, it states: "...then walks towards Nala, who cradles their newborn son..."
Also, in card number 82 of the first series, it states: "Time passes...once again, Rafiki blesses a newborn cub. It is Simba and Nala's son..."
So, Simba and Nala had a son according to the first Lion King, but apparently Disney decided to change it for Simba's Pride.

This is for all the people out there wondering if the cub at the end of the lionking is boy/girl. Ok do you honestly think they even knew what it was supposed to be? they probubly didnt and didnt care anyway. It could be boy/girl and whatever it is, it will work out for Simbas Pride. In my opinion, i think its a girl cause of Shani, no doubt, but because well, i dont know if this still is the story line, but may be, it said Simba had to come to terms with Kovu being the next king. Even if shani was the oldest and there was a younger child boy, the boy would be king, so foe kovu to be king from being married to shani, there would have to be no son! this may not be the case anymore, but i still think its a girl. If your still confused about it, think of it this way. If a white american has a child with a african american, the child could be light or dark, it really depends on genes and complicating stuff thats beyond most of us.I really dont care if it is boy/girl, but to those who are still confused i stated this.

In other news, if anyone here goes to a disney store or gets the disney catologe, im pleased to anounce that in a month or 2(or 3) there gonna have more lionking stuff due to the musical! i found this out at my store where i work when we look at future things coming in that there gonna have some new stuff! it goes all the way to april so that is why it may take a couple months before anyone gets anything.

This is in regards to the debate about the lion cub at the end of The Lion King.

Is it a male or female cub?

It was probably meant to be a male cub, to continue the father/son circle of life.

But Disney being Disney, they can change things if they want to change them.

How many of you remember Goofy's red-headed son from short cartoons from the 1950s and early 60s? Well, he's not the same character as Goofy's son "Max" from the TV series "Goof Troop" or the theatrical "A Goofy Movie."

But, both are considered his son (and only son).

My guess is that "Simba's Pride" was done in a similar fashion. Disney decided to make the cub a female for the sequel. No character in the film said the cub was a male, so there is the loophole.

On that same note, we don't know all the facts about the sequel. Maybe Simba's son is all grown up, and the female cub is a younger sister (though I tend to doubt this).

On a different subject, we know that in the original plot of the sequel, Scar's son and Simba's daughter were to be a couple. This was reported in Variety. The same article said that Eisner did not approve the story, for the undisputable fact that Scar and Mufasa were brothers, and the story would involve an incestuous relationship. The Sequel creators scrambled to fix this and keep the story intact.

So, even though I think it would have been a neat story to make the cousins fall in love, there's no way Disney would make that story (unless it was released through Disney's Touchstone or Hollywood Pictures).

I want to clear the question about the cub in the ending of TLK.

Reasons for that it is a male:

- He/She has Simba's color (all known males are dark colored) That's a fact!

- All known females are light colored (That's a fact)

- He/She has the ear markings (young Simba had them, too, but young Nala hadn't them) And that's a fact, too!



Reasons for that it is a female:

- The color of the coat doesn't matter, so it could also be a female (speculation!)

- Sarabi has passed on the ear markings, so it could also be a female (speculation!)




Theory: The color of the cub's coat is always the color of the father's coat.

Mufasa is dark colored, Sarabi is light colored, so Simba is dark colored.

Simba is dark colored, Nala is light colored, so their cub is dark colored.

If this theory is true, Sarabi, Sarafina, Nala and all the other lionesses must have had light colored fathers. I can't imagine that.

If this theory is true, we can't say if it is a male or a female.



Theory: The color of the cub's coat is by chance. That's the most improbable theory.

If this theory is true, we can't say if it is a male or a female. Moreover,
there would be a few dark colored lionesses, but there's not one dark colored lioness.



Theory: Males have a dark coat, females a light coat. That's the most probable theory.

All known males are dark colored and all known females are light colored.

If this theory is true, it's a male.



It's true that males and females may have the ear markings. So it could also be a female. But it sounds more likely it IS a male. Think about it!

I asked a little bit around the web and several people told me, that the Lion King sequel will be released in this fall (probably in october). Moreover, I could find out, that the animators at the MGM Studios in Florida are so busy with "Mulan" (the first movie made entirely at the Florida animation division, the animators don't even sleep anymore) that "Simba's Pride" gets animated at Disney's outside animation divisions.

I think I'll have to wait so much longer than you in the US, because we're doomed to wait half a year longer till the new Disney video's (and films) are released in the Netherlands (Europe).

Ducky, your fear of there being no preview on "Hercules" for "Simba's Pride" is justifiable, but I thought that I should bring something up on it: If I remember correctly--and I think I do--there was a preview on something or other for the third "Aladdin" movie that only consisted of the title; and that was like a year before it even came out! So Disney may just keep a preview on "Hercules" just to let everyone know it exists and to get people all hyped up about it (people that aren't big time TLK fans that is), but it may just be the title and no hints as to the story, characters, etc. i.e. showing no real animation. This is really only a thought, but I felt it was worth while.

Also--completely off the subject as it is--if anyone is looking for little (I suppose you could apply the word "cute") stories dealing with TLK, Disney has some sort of book full of comics that's called "Disney's Action Club." There have only been two installments, so it's not like it would be impossible to get a hold of. They should be at most major (and some minor) book stores.

Thanks for listenning to me ramble. Bye now!

Chester, that is an entertaining Jerry Springer-type story you have posted starring our Lion King friends, but that ain't gonna happen.

I can just imagine the dialogue: "Kovu, mom has something to tell you. Scar got me pregnant with you, then Simba killed him. Scar is your dad and Simba killed your dad."

"Well mom," says Kovu, "I have something to tell you. I'm in love with my cousin."

"You are sick!!! Inbreeding!?! Kovu, I won't let you !!!" screams the villainess.

"What? Like you're so pure," Kovu shouts back, " you didn't even get married, you tramp!!"

And last I checked, the Lion King Sequel was being made by Disney's TV Animation Department, in studios in Australia and in Canada. I believe the Florida Studio has their hands full with Mulan.

Interesting story, though.

Last summer in august i went to disney world. i got to go on one of those tours of mgm studios through the studio and soo on. the man talked about a lion king sequel cause someone asked why a person was drawing simba in one of the studios. i was curious s ince the lionking is my favorite disney flick, and asked the tour guide after the tour about the sequel, its kinda like what we already have here, but i think it might answer a question too. ok he said that it was about scars REAL son kovu, who was born a fter scars death. see a lioness in the tribe achually fell in love with scar(strange but true!)and they mated. she was still pregnant with kovu when scar was killed. after that,she was mad and left the pridelands and went to anouther pride to raise kovu. when he was a teenager(in lion years) and asked about his father and she tells him the whole story, of course left out the part that scar killed mufasa and put in a bunch of stuff on how great scar was! anyway, kovu got mad at simba cause his mom blammed it all on simba, so he wanted to get revenge. so he goes to pride rock to get simba, meets kiara/shani or whatever and they hit it off and then he meets simba and simba tells kovu the real story on what happened with scar and he gets mad and runs off. sh ani or whatever follows him and he calls simba a lier and shani believes it so they run off together. simba gets pissed so him and nala go and find them somewhere. he didnt tell me the ending. he also said that disney was gonna call it Kovu's Revenge but no one knew who kovu was so the called it simbas pride

I'm not sure if this information is true, but it is from a Lion King News Group (you can look it up by going to Yahoo, entering the phrase Simba's Pride, and then running Deja News).

A company named Pagoda USA is reportedly designing and marketing children's footwear themed to the upcoming Disney film "Mulan" and the upcoming "Simba's Pride" direct-to-video sequel.

According to this information, "Simba's Pride" is slated to debut in September 1998, and the footwear (which sounds like it will be for kids only) is expected to hit stores in August 1998.

Earlier I posted that Neve Campbell will voice Kiara for Simba's Pride, and some people have asked who she is. I have no idea who Kiara is. As I posted earlier, this information is from the Party of Five site on www.fox.com. This is all the information it gives.

Once and for all, Kovu is not Scar's biological son. Variety reported some time ago that Michael Eisner nixed the idea that two related lions could have a romantic relationship.

I question the idea that Kovu was raised by Scar to kill Simba. It is quite clear in the movie that Scar thinks that Simba is dead, so why raise a son to kill someone who is already dead?

More likely, the villainous in the Sequel raised Kovu to kill Simba. And yes, Scar could have been in another pride. Most male lions do not stay with their siblings.

The last thing I remember hearing about "Simba's Pride" was that Scar had raised his son to defeat Simba.
Now, according to the movie (the *original* movie), Scar did not know that Simba was alive all those years. Why would Scar have trained his son to fight someone that, as far as he knew, didn't exist? He seems a bit more intelligent than that.

To our good posting friend, Someguy:
The Broadway Musical of TLK was run as a preview in Minnesota, not MD (Maryland). It was done here for the purposes of having a testing ground for a new Broadway production, as almost ALL Broadway productions do. For more information on this matter, please click on the Broadway TLK inlay link on the mane page title image for this website. In there is a brief synopsis of an interview with Julie Taymor (director of the Broadway rendition), which includes the rationale for using Minneapolis as the testing grounds for TLK (as well as the Broadway version of "Beauty & The Beast"). If you have any additional questions, feel free to e-mail me!

And to all of the rest of you rumor-readers, glad to see you all posting and slinging the hash around!!! Keep it up! :) Hakuna Matata!

Alrighty, ive heard numerous things about the TLK Musical and im confused, if it did start in md or whatever then why isnt it playing there anymore and only in NYC? that confuses me! Also about the simbas pride matter, i still need to know something, why are they bringing scar back if they made us to believe that he was dead in TLK? Disney shouldnt just forget about what happened in the first 1 and start a new in the second! thats why i was very surprized about the beauty and the beadt sequel.HELLO!!!! the beast isnt the beast anymore hes human! i really dont care if its the "lost chapter" little kids dont know that! I love disney w/ all my heart but come on, they are going alittle far with this! Hvaent they learned anything from the return of jafar! now that was awful! im surprized it came out at all!!!!! well if any of you disagree with me i understand and if i offended anyone im sorry but this is what i had to say and i know that there os someone who thinks the same way

thanks

Dear friends,

I found the TLK on Broadway soundtrack. If people are still looking for it see the local Walmart near you (if there is one). As for the person who found the info on the Simba's Pride soundtrack did it say Hans Zimmer was doing any score? Also, Lebo M. has a second album (not based on LK) that I've heard is good. It hasn't been released in the US (His publicist isn't talking to me) but has been released in South Africa. Anyone wanting to talk Lion King Music, about the film, Hans Zimmer or Lebo M. give me an email.

Hey again everyone!
Just want to say thanks to arctus for letting me know about the Broadway CD. I've also got another question. I just bought the letterbox THX version of TLK on Laserdisc last week. About half way through on both sides, I get crackly sounds and lines in the picture. They're on regular intervals. We have two laserdisc players, and both do the same thing. Does anyone know if I can E-mail or write Buena Vista Prod. and get a replacement. (I had a nearly impossible trek to get the copy I have from Suncoast, and they've got another one on order for me too.)
I'd really appreciate it if anyone has any info. on the subject.
P.S.-Paul I sent the videos of TLK on E! today (monday), they should get there soon, barring the post strike is finished!)
Thanks Again,

This is a reply to Sichi in regards to her fear of "human interferences" in The Lion King Sequel.

This is not meant to be mean, but there were human references in the original Lion King.

Zazu sings "It's a Small World" to Scar--a song taken from a Disney ride featuring hundreds of singing human children.

In fact, a number of human references are made: Timon and Pumbaa sing "In the Jungle, the mighty jungle, The Lion Sleeps Tonight," narrowly avoiding the lyric involving a village.

While on the subject, that particular song is not in its complete version on Broadway, just as it isn't in the movie. I would guess both wanted to avoid a village reference, or maybe they would have to pay royalties.

Back to the human references, Timon speaks of dressing in drag and doing the hula to distract the hyenas. How many wild animals can you think of that would dress in drag?

But I know what you are getting at, Sichi. I too hope the Lion King Sequel doesn't go the "Timon and Pumbaa" route and have buses and planes or humans.

For Alicia and anyone else wondering where you can find the TLK Broadway CD: go to your local music store, gather up all the courage you can muster, and ask the pimply-faced sales boy/girl where they've hidden their copy of the CD. For reasons I may never understand (probably cuz I'm a fanatic), the stores haven't really advertised the sale of the CD. Don't give up hope! Check places like Sam Goody, Blockbuster Video, or Borders (where I found mine thanks to a tip from another Rumor Reader). If all else fails, see if one of these stores can order it for you! Ya just never know!!! :) Good luck with that!
Oh, and to Laura Gieg: go ahead and read the rest of the rumors section... after that, there should be no doubt in your mind as to whether or not Disney will be releasing a sequel to TLK. After all, they released a sequel to Beauty & the Beast, and that was after a seven year stretch AND a broadway run! Even if you choose to ignore every rumor you read (which you could do, but what the heck, they're soooo much fun to read!!! :D ), it's pretty hard to ignore an increasingly popular trend upon which Disney has built an amazing business, that business being the releasing of straight-to-video sequels to their animated feature film hits (if you don't know what I'm referring to, please go and rent 'Return of Jafar' or 'Belle's Christmas').
**takes a deep breath after his run-on sentence**
It would be completely uncharacteristic of them NOT to make a sequel to one of the biggest animated feature film hits in the history of film-making!!!
Well, enough ranting! :) Y'all have a nice Thanksgiving weekend (what's left of it), eat your turkey leftovers, and mebbe watch that movie we all love just *one* more time!!! :)

This is a response for Aaron McGavock and anyone else who was wondering about that track on the TLK Broadway CD. It's a truncated version (performed live in the show) from the "Rhythm of the Pridelands" CD. If you're looking for the full length version, pick up that CD. When I saw the Broadway show in Minneapolis, they did pretty much the same thing as you hear on the CD... it was somewhat dissapointing. I felt, though, that the rendition of "One By One" definitely made up for it! Lebo M RULES!!! :) Ahem...

Hiya!!
Just clarifying the thing about Scar's pride.
It seems Scar had his own pride outside of pride rock. No Scar is not still alive, and the bit in Hercules should prove that!! But the villianess is seeking revenge on Simba, for killing Scar. And somehow, Kovu is caught up in all this.
As for the direct-to-video thing, yes it will be going straight to video, but in some countries, the social thing is to go out to the movies, and obviously videos do not sell well in these countries so they are putting it on film for them.
(Well, this is what we were told!!) But who knows, Return of Jafar was supposed to be 4 TV episodes, but got turned into a video!! (and still sold)
On the subject of sequels, the Aladdin sequels were NOT made to go into the movies, they took a quarter of the time to make than a movie, and it sorta shows. LKII is the longest project the studio has worked on so far.
Just a quick comment on the characters, I think it is a good decision to make newer characters, and not hinge too much on the older ones. People already have set ideas of how they should act in the first movie, and then it is a lot harder to expand on them, so they try to bring out newer characters that they can set up, with no set personality. That is why it took so long to bring out a Mickey Mouse short, since Mickey's personality was so set, there was very little they could do with him. It's kinda nice having new characters, rather than having older ones stuffed up, dontcha think?

Well, my dad must have asked around about tickets and came up with the surprising statistic that a stripped ticket (one bought through someone other than, say, Disney) costs $5000!!!

Dear Ducky,
None of the characters you know, and love, leave. This story is a contunuation, and is more about Simba's daughter, and Simba's coming to terms with her growing up.
Zazu is hardly in it, but Timon and Pumbaa are back in fine form. (Originally they were supposed to be going "Around the World". ie the TV Series.
Sarabi must be on vacation, since she isn't in it, and the Hyenas are off somewhere else too. There are 5 new main characters introduced, Simba's daughter, Kovu, the villianess, and her 2 offsiders. And of course, Scar's pride.
P.S. For others out there, what I am trying to do, is correct the wrong rumours. I will not give out new information. Have you noticed that I haven't given out Simba's daughter's new name? Now if someone were to guess it, I would confim it. But I did like Shani.

Sorry, I seemed to have ruffled a few feathers by my last comments. I would like to point out that I DID NOT CALL ANYONE A LYER, just mis-guided.
To be at a BIG RISK here, I work for the studio which is working on it!!
Most of the facts that are rumoured here is the old version of the story, there have been many re-writes and lots has changed since then. The project was also put off for a while for a TOTAL RE-WRITE, which included NAME CHANGES, and character changes. Because of contractual agreements, I cannot say too much. As to when this will be released even we are not sure. The animation department still hasn't finished yet. There has been 80 feet of footage added recently to help the story along.
Sarabi is not in the movie, so she does not die. The villianess WAS to be called Bianca, (yuc) but has been changed to a more African sounding name, thankfully. The Hyenas were replaced, and the villianess is now with Scar's pride of lions. The film is being done on wide screen, since it will be realesed in theatres, but in those coutries who do not have videos, and go to the movies reguarly. As to which countries these are, I do not know.
For Lyn, I just wanted to set the record straight, and I am also a great fan of Disney movies, and want to make sure that the information out there is pretty correct. Even working for Disney you get a lot of mis-information and no answers, and I really wish I could tell you more.
Yes, I know rumours are from a variety of sources, some more reliable than others, but what got to me more than anything is other people saying that they knew things for certain, when they didn't, and then fans were getting mis-led by this, such as Simba's death, that's not fair.
As for proof, yes you will have to wait till the movie comes out, I can't get photo's, I kinda like my job, and have no intention of losing it.
My intention was not to offend anyone, and I am really sorry if I did. Things are forever changing, in any Disney project, and things are even changed in final editing, lots of the lines in the Enchated Christmas changed, throwing lip sync out the window!!
All I can hope for is that the changes are for the better, and will produce something that both the fans of LK will enjoy and that the studio has had fun working on.

Well, "someone angry" has contradicted almost every rumour that has been posted here.This person seems to know more than what we do.Lyn is right, it is very possible that s/he works for Disney,or at least he has a friend who works for Disney and this is how he got all this information.Well "angry person'' thank you for the information.If what you say is true then I am glad because I really didn't like the idea of Timon, Pumba and Zazu having girlfriends.Also,according to you Simba is not going to die in the movie ( I am sure that this reassured most of TLK fans) .You didn't say anything about the rumour that Saradi might die in it though.And the fact that Kovu is not Scar's son sounds pretty reasonable to me.Young children might be confused if they find out that Simba's daughter fell in love with her ...uncle!However we can't believe anything unless you reveal your sources.So next time you post something try not to be angry!We don't have access to Disney files ,some of us tried to email Disney but didn't receive any answer.We just posted things we had found in various webpages. Last of all I would like to ask a favour from all TLK fans, especially from the Nalafans.Please go to http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Academy/13718/index.html and vote for Nala as your favorated animated heroine.She has only two votes while Megara has 32! I like Meg very much but I think that Nala deserves more than two votes.

For the issue on the Kovu-Scar descution, Alexander is right, Kovu is Scars chosen son. I think i found this out on the Jason M. page. When scar became king, he didnt have a REAL son to take the thrown when he dies, so he needed to pick a lion to become king after scar, thats where kovu comes in. So it is ok for Shani and Kovu to get together acorrding to disney

Hey all you TLK fans, I just saw the opening celebration of the Broadway release of TLK on E! yesterday. Fortunately enough, my VCR had an old copy of Pocohantas in it, so I quickly ran and got some tape to cover up the little hole and recorded it. If anyone out there would like copies, E-mail me. It was pretty good, would have liked to have seen more cuts from the actual show, though. (For those of us who aren't remotely near to NY and can't pop by and just see it every weekend!)
I'll also be swiping my dad's video capture board over Thanksgiving. So I'll be able to transfer portions of it to CD-R.
Take Care, have a great day! :) Busa Simba!

November 19, 1997

I would like to comment on the subject of the relationship of Scar and Nala.
In the new broadway musical version of The Lion King, there is a song titled "The Madness of King Scar." In this song, Scar attempts to take (the adult) Nala as his queen. Nala refuses. Scar sings about how all the lionesses belong to him.

I do not think that Scar is Nala's father. This is not the Jerry Springer show, after all.

I have seen documentaries on lions, and there is usually only one male lion in the pride, though there can be more, and his main job is to protect the females from other predators. While there is usually one or two males in the pride, they do not father all the lioness' cubs.

When the male lion cubs in a pride mature, they typically leave the pride to mate with a lioness. The lionesses, though, stay in the pride.

So, Nala's father could be off somewhere else, or dead.

On the subject of Simba's Pride, from what I have read, Eisner rejected the idea that Simba's daughter and Scar's son have a relationship.

How will the two become an item, then? I have read an interview with Jason Marsden and he said that Kovu is Scar's chosen son. This could mean anything.

So, perhaps this is one royal family that isn't inbreeding.

A lot of dates have been flying around about the release of Simba's Pride. My take on it, to which I have absolutly no proof on, is that it will likely be released June 24, 1998. The same date TLK origionally hit the theaters. Call it a strong feeling, but I have a hunch it will be June 24. As for '98, it's probable, as there has been some small amounts of info leaking out of Disney about it, however it wouldn't surprise me too much to see a 1999 release. It takes a while to crank out a movie anywhere near the quality of TLK.

As far as anyone knows, it is more then likely to be a direct-to-video release, and not hit theaters. Unless of course, the movie is released in 1999 and Disney has been keeping a huge secret of it. With the huge success of TLK, that also wouldn't surprise me. Hopefully, it will also hit the stores in laserdisc and DVD format as well. Hopefully in the theatrical widescreen format. (I hate 4:3)

So, until we get official word from Disney, or start to see trailers poping up in the theaters (a very pleasent surprise, if it happens) all we can really do is wait and see. Hakuna Matata everyone, let's not get overly excited about rumors just yet. :)

E-mail:

That is it!!
I've had enough of this baloney!!!
To start off with, I am totally cheesed off with all the rumours about Simba's Pride!! The movie HAS NOT BEEN FINISHED YET!!! There are still lost of chages going through, even now, so nothing is final. Simba DOES NOT die in it. Unless they decide to have a TOTAL re-write.
The only person..um animal who has a girlfriend is KOVU, and her name is NOT SHANI!!
KOVU is NOT SCAR'S SON.
Hopefully these have laid some of the ugly rumours to rest. I am not telling you anymore, but I can honestly say, that this is one of the BEST direct-to-video's that will be released to date.
The story is strong, you have all NEW characters to get to know and love.
Now, stop bashing return of Jafar, yes, it was bad, but it lead the way for Disney to decide that there was a market out there for sequels, and with the help of strong writers, and character designers it will slowly get better, and I know Simba's Pride is A LOT better. I think it has a better story than Enchanted Christmas.
I will be keeping an eye out on this page, I just hate it when people lead fans astray.

Maintainer's note: So just out of curiosity, who are you, and what makes your post any more valid than any other post on this board? Posting rumors, especially substantiated ones, is good... but if you don't give any substantiation, what's the justification for taking such an angry tone?
Posting nothing but an angry denial of another rumor doesn't lay anything to rest. -BT

H'lo Rumor Readers!

Just an update for everyone who's dying to know that hasn't rented/bought/stolen a copy of Beauty & The Beast's Belle's Christmas yet. There is no, I repeat, no preview of "Simba's Pride" at the beginning of the tape. I just bought it this evening and threw it in to watch the trailers. I haven't watched the movie yet, but if Disney is true to form, they won't leave a preview like that to follow the feature presentation. We'll probably see trailers for this sometime in the beginning of next year... most likely when they release "Hercules" to video is my guess. I'm no expert, but call it a hunch! No pun intended, Quasimodo... gee, I'd better run!

Also read vague info saying "Simba's Pride" was slated for Summer 1998 on the web site www.geocities.com/hollywood/hills/1486.

This is from Disney Adventures October issue, Jason Marsden (Step by Step) gave them the scoopon LK2, the direct to video sequel. Jason voices the villainous Kovu, Scar's son, who was raisec to defeat Simba. "Kovu is a good looking lion, and Simba's daughter [voiced by Neve Campell of "Party of Five"] falls for him" says Jason. So there you have it from a magazine just for kids.

All (or most) of the other 'official' information has been recognized as unnoficial or just plain lies, as well. Please, people, don't make up info. If you've got good info, (like all that 'tlk merchendise is back, therefore tlk2 must be near' stuff and rumors along those lines) post it, but don't just make up a release date and story and post it.

Hey everyone! Do you know how after a movie isn't as famous anymore all the merchandise comes down off the shelves in the stores? Well, I don't know if this is a sign or something, but I went to the mall today, and all of a sudden, there was TLK everything! Books, plush toys, soundtracks. Let's just hope that this means that the movie's coming out soon!

I have watched so much TV the past 2 weeks watching for previews I have a headache now. I am not gonna listen to any rumors cause every week it changes!!!! I will patiently wait untill the movie comes out (maybe) Hi Kira!!!

This is mostly to 'Timona' and 'Paco Taco':
I know all that; Timona, that was one of the episodes I was referring to. Paco, I saw that one, too... But you know the tv series isn't factual in pertaining to our beloved movie!! Like, whenever they feature Simba, he has been referred to as being king. ("..oh boy! 'Get your picture taken with Simba!'" -Pumbaa) Not to mention episodes like "Rome Alone" and others; the series are just for fun (Hakuna Matata, duh! ;) because they don't size up within the movie. Not that it takes away from it! =) I had heard that the series was to take place within the "Hakuna Matata" sequence, but there are only 4 episodes with Simba, and none when he was still a cub! Anyways, HAKUNA MATATA!!!

Just as a update on the release date of Simba's Pride. Earlier it was said that Simba's Pride is to be released between January and July 1998. Well, I have acquired a listing of Disney movies being released to video up to the end of March 1998 and Simba's Pride still isn't listed. Maybe it will be released in June or July.

Ok, first of all I think it`s better not to have TLK2 come out as a main movie because on the main movies they only have about a year to do them start to finnish. On a regular movie there is no set date that way maybe it won`t turn out as bad as other sequels (even though they were regular movies too). Second, I`m confused. Taka and Simba`s daughter are falling in love and so are Chaka and Scar`s daughter? They both can`t be right,but they both seem to come from good sources. So which one is it?

Is it just me or has any one else noticed the lack of "Lion King" merchandise in the "Disney Cataloge?" I did a little research on that and came up with an interesting result. You should know by now that there is a sequel of sorts to "Be Beast." While looking back on past "Disney Cataloge" issues, I noticed a similar type of drought in "Beauty" merchandise up until the announcement of its sequel. This leads me to believe that Disney is withholding merchandise for "The Lion King" for either the Broadway musical, its release on "The Magical World of Disney," or something else. *wink, wink* These are just my own ideas, but I think that they're valid ones.

I've rcorded the T.V. show, and my TLK friend has the comic edition. So I know it's true!

Well, I was so exciited the other day when I got AOL so I could visit the TLK www Archive. I went straight to the Rumor Mill to catch up on three months off the Net, only to be dissapointed by the ugly rumors of Simba's death in TLK 2. Who found this rumor? I'm sure it was some TLK heretic trying to get us all worked up. I know that when Lion King came out, I was 13, and it took me several viewings of the movie to get over Mufasa's death. Imagine what would happen to me if Simba dies! I would end up wearing all black every day, looking like a Mansonite, (as if I don't already) and would end up seeing a pyschotherapist for $2OO
an hour the rest of my life. I can't even begin to fathom what would happen when all of the nation's younger than 10 crowd sees this. I dont' think Simba will be killed off, for several reasons. 1) Disney's only killed a few characters with more than one line in the animated features; Bambi's mother and Mufasa to name 2.
2) I've never seen a main character killed, especially in a sequel on home video.
3) Imagine the screen test audience!
4)There's gotta be at least one die-hard TLK fan in control of a nuclear device that would set it off if this happens (Disney's gotta know that!)
Pleade Email me if you're as big of a TLK fan as I, or if you have new info on Simba's Pride.

Am I the only one who thinks it odd that Timon was bestowed a GIRLFRIEND?! What I'm saying is, that is truly out of personality for him. Refer to the series, "The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa." In 'Sasketchwa Catch,' after they have successfully arranged a dinner date for the lady squirrel. While they're all starry-eyed and Pumbaa is gushing about how he's "..so proud to be a part of this.." match-making and all, Timon stands there 'slack- jawed' enraged! He goes off about "love- smove! It's the old ball & chain- he'll be doomed!" Ok, scratch that last part! :) Least of all may I refer you to the scene "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" "...disaster's in the air!... In short, our pal is doomed!" Not quite the romantic, eh? -But that doesn't mean he isn't extremely CUTE! :> I'll level with you guys: I believe it to be due to a trauma in his life. I know it all, but I can't tell because it's not "official." I will say that the way I figure it, it's even more heart-wrenching than Mufasa's death! ("..if you believe that!...) But for those of you loyal 'T&P' fans, you can probably relate it to a certain episode, which is a little similiar to mine. I don't know how THAT happened!
Toodles! :)

Thanks for the confirmation, Ducky. I certainly couldn't imagine that they would hold release of the Broadway Cast Recording in MN where the show opened if the CD was available.
As far as the whole TLK2 thing is concerned, I just hope that they don't make a mess of it like we saw in "Return of Jafar", "Prince of Thieves" or whatever that title was, and (forgive me if you actually call this quality programming) "The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa".
Personally, I'd prefer if Disney took the time to do a feature film sequel that goes to the theaters, rather than to videocassette. Just my opinion, of course!

In response to Wonder's question about "When did Scar have time to have a son?": the length of King Scar's reign is the subject of some debate, but it seems pretty clear that Simba's exile lasted at least eighteen months, and quite possibly twice that. Not wishing to get too technical, but it doesn't take male lions very long to beget progeny; ten minutes should just about do it. And as head of the Pride, he would having mating rights with any of a number of lionesses. I can't see that the existence of Kovu is any sort of problem: for all we know, he may not even have been born until after Simba's accession. As for who is going to put the Pride Lands to rights if Simba is killed - there we must just wait & see.

This is about the book that Timona found. I bought it a while ago (last year I think) and it is my impression that the "girlfriends" pictured in the "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" section were just there for effect. What makes me think this? Well, in the "Circle of Life" section with Simba and Nala's cub, they also showed a bunch of other cubs that haven't been mentioned at all in the info. on "Simba's Pride." These cubs were put in mearly for the fun of having them there. I'm not saying that Timon and Pumbaa won't have girlfriends, I'm just saying that this probably isn't the right place to look. (I checked the book's copyright and it was 1994.) Sorry if I've discoraged anyone.

Yesterday, I went into a bookstore and I found this copy of 'TLK Look and Find'.
I saw in the CYFTLT scene, Simba and Nala were posed together by the waterfall, and on the other page, Timon and Pumbaa were *both* sitting with girlfriends!
I saw Pumbaa's girl pretty clear, but on Timon's girl,
you couldn't see half of her face because the bar of the things to find was there. (But, Timon's girl has got to be pretty to get *his* attention, right? :-))
But I didn't look in the back of the book to check their names were "Tiki" or "Pami", but I'm buying it!

A new sequel to the world's greatest movie is exciting. The only reason I was hoping against it was because I know that Simba would have to die in order for his son- well, daughter now, is it? Well, I digress; Simba would have to die in order to complete the 'Circle of Life.' Do you guy know HOW LONG it took me to be able to watch "The Lion King" without crying when Mufasa dies? NEVER! Lion, how am I going to handle it when it happens to Simba? I watched him grow up from a young, ambitious cub who had grown up thinking that HE was responsible for his father's tragic death. Yet, he was strong enough to overcome his mental anguish to take his reign as king. (Go, Simba!!)
well, Hakuna Matata!

"Kovu is a good-looking lion, and Simba's daughter [voiced by Neve Campbell of "Party of Five"] falls for him."

News just in: Shani and Kovu DO run off together and Simba and Nala try to find them (but i don't think they go Egypt). There they run into the villains, whose territory they are tresspassing on. That's how Simba gets killed, in a life or death battle.,

First of all, I have a friend who works with this Scott character in finance and she said that he is absolutely right. After much controversy, and months of meetings, disney tv brass decided that it would be ok for simba to indeed die in act III of the sequel. To lead up to this, producers decided that African landscape was tired, so Shani (Simba's daugher) runs off w/ scar's son Kovu to distant lands - one of which maybe being Eygpt, where simba (trying to track down shani and kovu), apparently finds his certain death.

"The Lion King" is the world's best movie despite what anyone says! As for this sequel, all the 'information' conflicts with itself so we are just going to have to be patient and hope to all of the spirit of the PrideLands that Disney doesn't slip up and make this a rush job or just another project to make $money$. (Aladdin's sequels were good, but they could've made them as good as the movie- did anyone else catch some mistakes?)
Good things are worth waiting for, so just "Hakuna

This is to whoever saw any of the preivews: did you see a little of what the plot was like? Does Simba die, or does Simba's daughter fall in love with Scar's son?xxx says that the movie will come out in late 1997 or early 1998. I guess Disney can't make up it's mind about when to release it.
I also heard that Hans Zimmer has been in this huge fight with Disney and will not be doing the music, Elton John........?
To the person who saw the preview in Disney studios: Did it say any EXACT date or just January through July? Please post this on the rumor mill. Please don't e- mail me.

This is just an answer (well, more of a thought) to the last (person`s) letter. What do you think Simba and Nala are- not related(?!?). They are most probably half-brother and half-sister (Mufasa the father)or cousains (if Scar is Nala`s father), so I wouldn`t be nagging so much.

I've heard from a friend who knows someone who works for Disney that The Lion King: Simba's Pride will be theatrical released in November of 1999, following the re-release of The Lion King in mid-October. Simba's SON, Tanabi will fall in love with Scar's DAUGHTER, Sheka. The other plot in which Scar's son falls for Simba's daughter, Disney thought, was far fetched, since the cub was unmistakably a MALE at the end. Tanabi finds Sheka and falls in love with her. He takes her back to Pride Rock and all the lionesses think she was some kind of rogue. Simba finds out that she is the daughter of Scar and kicks her out of Pride Rock and forbids his son never to see her again. Nothing can stand between thier love for one another, so Tanabi must convince his dad that this is what he wants do do with his life. Both Timon and Pumbaa will have girlfriends, Tiki(meerkat) and Pami(warthog). Sarabi will die though..=( Possibly from a cheetah raid, so I
have heard, they have numerous reasons for her to die, and this seems like the one they're gonna use. Kathleen Turner will do one of the voices of the cheetahs, Leonardo DiCaprio will do the voice of Tanabi, and Jennifer Aniston will do the voice of Sheka.

The Lion King II Issue,

I can not tell you as to who I am, but I might have some information that you will most likely find interesting. You may believe it, or not. I am telling you this as to that which I heard, It may, or may not be true. Although, After browsing this page, and reading the most recent postings, and what they had to say, I would think that this information I have acquired might be more then average 'small talk'.

I will only address the Simba issue. You are most likely right. Simba has a good chance (not 100%) of passing on. This is the part where you have to think... (since I will not tell you in the form I heard it) if Simba dies, there is a very good change that "his name would not be sketched in any tombstone." Now, this may or may not be proven at the end of the Sequel. What do I mean you may think? Well, I will leave that up to you.

Note to the Master of this page... I would like to thank you personally for your time and effort in making this page as good as it is. They need people like you. People who will do almost anything for what they believe in. People who, once inspired by something, will express it, stay with it, and have an open thought about it for the rest of there lives. People like you. I don't visit many unofficial web pages, since they are all mostly false leading, but I did enter yours, and I was astonished as to all that you have done.

Maintainer's note: Well, thank you. :) TLK did a lot for my life, and I have a need to give something back... and since Disney's own TLK site has vanished, it's notable that its spirit lives on in so many other websites maintained by fans. :) -BT

In regard to Timona and Scotts letters. It's impossible for it to come out unless it's a suprise announcement because Irented the new Pooh movie and the only new preview there was is saying Beauty and the Beast2 is coming out at Christmas and that in the coming 3 months Marry Poppins and Cinderella,and the Jungle book.Plus not to mention we would have heard about it at our local Disney Store, and I have connections at 2 and they've heard nothing so I say it's false because you know the Disney store they have you reserve it so they get more money and you get cool stuff about your favorate movie. Plus now I'm confused we have 2 possible plots. I'm going to take a gamble and go with the origional plotbecause why would they have the basic idea of the father dying in 2 movies not to mention the complaint letters to Disney complaining to Disney of killing off there lead in a sequal even though I don't think Disney's tried that before;

Anyway that's my idea about it

Well, I know everyone¹s depressed about this guy Scotts¹ posting, well I¹m probably going to depress you more. He¹s probably telling the truth! After I read it, I did some reasearch around the internet, and I found that, on Ryan McGinnis site that he had some Misc stuff on TLK2:Simba¹s Pride. I read the interview with Ernie Sabella and it was clean, even for the exception of Pumbaa being supposedly alienated in the sequel as in Scott¹s posting. Then I read the next interview with ³Party Of Five¹s² Lacey Chabert. She said she had done TLK2, too. Now, in the last issue of the ³Pridelands Online², they said that Jennifer Aniston(³Friends²)and Sarah Jessica Parker(³Mars Attacks²)that one of them would be doing the voice of Shani/Aisha. So Scott is probably right again. Either Lacey Chabert is doing the voice of Binti, Zazu¹s girlfriend, which was supposedly dropped in another posting, or is doing the voice of Timon¹s anonymous girlfriend. Also in the ³Pridelands Online² section, they did this thing with ³Varaity² Magazine. They had told the original plot, except for one mistake, they said Scar/Taka and Simba were brothers. In wich I think they¹re lying about it (let¹s hope not). With the plot, Scott said that the herbavores were going to kill Simba in the first scene, and that Shani/Aisha will have to deal with what happened to Simba.
This is probably true. :(
There was another thing at the McGinni¹s site. The was a description of some drawings from an anonymous person. It said and I quote, Œ³I¹ve seen the horror that is in the Lion King sequel. Oh boy. :-=²¹ Then it said, Œ³The sketches contained mostly dancing wildebeasts. Actually, not wildebeasts. I know what they¹re called in xxx but I couldn¹t find the English translation. So, they¹re dancing wildebeasts as far as I¹m concerned. They look mad, out of their mind and positively like they just fell out of the ŒIJCWTBK¹ sequence. I guess they¹ll make one like it.²¹ NOT!! As far as III¹m concerned, they¹re mad!! Totally mad!! As for Binti, they couldn¹t decide what she looks like, so it¹s very predictable they dropped her, or, they just give everyone a girlfriend these days.
As for Kovu/Nunka, Aisha/Shani might possibly run away afterward (if Simba dies) and will probably meet him somewhere along there.
Probably the same thing with Binti (if they include her) or whatever anoynomous girlfriend Timon might get.
Anyway, at the end, I think they¹ll end up singing ³We Are One², and make a big happy ending out of it, let¹s just not hope it¹s like Œ³The Retern of Jafar²¹.
Well, if it¹s like the guy Scott says, if they¹re shipping them now, they will probably release it on Aug 28th of this month.
HAKUNA MATATA!!!

I heard from a friend of mine that works over at Tv animation that the movie is already shipped and the story has changed a lot. Simba dies in the first act, it's just like what happened to Mufasa, so now his cub Shani is going through the same psycological stuff that Simba went through sans therapy. Timon finds a girl, and alienanates Pumbaa. The villains are these evil rhinos with wildebeest sidekicks who want the lions to stop eating up the grass-eaters, so they have disclaimed the whole circle of life thing and are on a rampage. This is ten times worse than that other stampede scene! (They are way over budget on CGI, I should know, I'm in accounting)

I was Simbas lover, not Nala, Simba's elephant of a mother did not like my "style" so she forbade our union
even though we had already "united" a number of times in secret (heh, heh)

[Jason]: Correct
ElissaBr: Is that out yet?
[Jason]: no no...not for another year
KrazyGlue5: What voice did you do in that one?
[Jason]: I do the voice of KOVU...Scar's chosen son.
KrazyGlue5: DIdn't Scar die in the first one?
Bfeather: yes, he did. didn't he?
[Jason]: All original cast returns...excluding Rowan Atkinson (Zazu) and of course the folk who die.
Pd698: [Is your character] nasty like scar?
GGOm1: Aw, man, no Rowan atkinson.
ElissaBr: gasp
[Jason]: Yes, Scar is dead...but before he dies ( I guess in the scenes Simba was learning Hakuna
[Jason]: matata...he chose a cub to rule in his absence
KrazyGlue5: Is he bad?
[Jason]: ...Kovu is raised to hunt and kill Simba...but ends up falling for Simbas daughter...
[Jason]: voiced by Neve Campbell
Pd698: uh-oh

LACEY CHABERT (Penny Robinson) is perhaps best known for her starring role as Claudia on the hit Fox Broadcasting series "Party of Five." She recently was cast as the voice actor who will give life to Simba's daughter Shani in the highly anticipated animated adventure Lion King II:
Simba's Pride. Her voice will also be recognized in the upcoming "Babes in Toyland," and in Disney's "Little Redux Riding Hood," where she joins Mia Farrow and Michael Richards.

Hey, does anyone know if official copies of the TLK script are gonna be sold? Also, what's the scoop on Scar's son getting the hots for Simba's daughter? Ain't that incest?

In Hercules and George of the Jungle, Scar is in Hercules and A TLK scene is in George of the Jungle, my guess is that Disney is getting everyone ready for the sequel to come out, so it might sell more or something like that.
Comments and Suggestions on this are welcome, email me if you have more info.

Just to clear this up - the words of 'We are One' have been written by MarTy Panzer, who has written lyrics to a number of very well known songs for Barry Manilow amongst others.
That is all that anyone knows for sure. What this song is about is any one's guess. There is no indication that Elton John or Hans Zimmer is involved with the music in any way. That does NOT mean they can't be involved, it just means that no one's heard anything either way.

I heard Scar's estranged son, named Kovu? will fall in love with Simba's daughter, Shani. Simba will have to face the fact that his daughter is in love with poor ole Scar's kid and that he will be King next. What I want to know is, Chaka is the cub shown at the end of the film, right? So Chaka would be King, not Shani's love, right? So what happened to Chaka?

Okay, here are my theories as to Disney's plans with the sequel to The Lion King: According to the information in the tlk screen scenes package, Disney's first concepts that started them on the road to producing tlk happened in 1989...correct? Now, that was about four or five years until tlk was released in the theaters. I think that Disney has learned it's lesson from producing "The Return of Jafar"...a poor quality sequel to a hugely successful movie.
Also, usually the way Disney markets it's movies is to produce one large-budget animated movie for theater release each summer, and the n to release one or two live action or lower-budget (or older) animated movies for a 'complementary' theater release. (Aladdin-Angels in the Outfield) (Hercules-George of the Jungle)
This leads me to believe that Disney will release tlk 2 in *1998*, because "Hercules" is the large budget animated theatrical release in the summer of 1997 for Disney. And also, if Disney releases too many movies at one time, people are likely to forget some of them.
Back to my 1989 point...in the summer of 1998, it will have been about four years since tlk was released in the theaters, and I suspect that Disney will take about as much time to create tlk 2 as they did tlk, because tlk was one of the biggest selling films of all time. Also, Disney does not want to have another release like "The Return of Jafar".
Please e-mail me if you have any comments about what I have posted here. :)

To all those who think that in Hercules they said nothing about the Lion King sequel.I think ther're wrong.Because in the middle of the movie if you noticed their is a scene where Hercules is posing for a painting in a lion outfit. When he took it off you can plainly see that it is a dead Scar. So I think it is a sign that a sequel is coming because they could have used any lion,but they used Scar from the movie. Now if we can only find out the right date and the right plot everything would be cool!

Maintainer's note: Andreas Deja animated both Scar and Hercules; I'd guess that he just threw the Scar cameo into Hercules because he figured it would be funny. :) -BT

So maybe if a bunch of us write to them, they will respond. A preview might also be in Sleeping Beauty. And last, does anyone know imformation about the lyrics to the 'We Are One'?

I visited my local disney store yesterday, and
the clerk had a list of all the movies that will
be released by Disney in months to come. The list
went all the way to this December, and included
releases of "Sleeping Beauty," "The Jungle Book,"
a new Whinne the Pooh movie, as well as a sequal/
christmas movie of "Beauty and the Beast." Sadly,
Simba's pride was not on the list, therefore
it is highly unlikely it will be released anytime
this year. :(
Given this news, I am going to spend my time
looking foreward to the Lion King musical, and its
soundtrack. Both of which will come out this year
without a doubt. =)

I have to agree with Jeremy's posting. Although
the "vicious lullaby" that her charecter could be
singing could probably not be meant for Simba's
and Nala's daughter but rather for Sarabi. That
could mean that whoever Kathleen Turner is playing
could be the one that will kill Sarabi. Also, in a
recent edition of the New York Post I have read
that the Lion King musical will be opening in the
month of October at the New Amsterdam Theater in
New York City.

This is a fact: Kathleen Turner, in an interview on Late Night with Conan O' Brien (a television show in the U.S. on NBC, on June 6, 1997 stated that she is doing a voice in "The Lion King 2" and that she "is [singing] a vicious lullaby". Does this mean that there will be one or more evil characters in the sequel to The Lion King (TLK) that will be female? Could that character be a mate to Scar (a.k.a Taka) or his possible son? And it seems likely that the "vicious lullaby" will be sung to Simba and Nala's child.
The suspense builds!

Hi, I am an avid fan of the Lion King and I have seen it countless times. But on examining the movie carefully I noticed that during the film when Simba lies down in confusion a puff of dust and pollen scatters. I believe that it reads "sex." I would like to inquire about it and see if I can find some information if anyone else has also observed this. If so I would like some information on it because I am sure I am not the only one who noticed it.

Maintainer's note: No, you're not the only one who's noticed it-- this has been a topic of discussion for the past three years on alt.fan.lion-king and the TLK Mailing List. Nearly everyone has their own opinion as to whether there is anything there in the dust, but nothing has been proven conclusively as to have been intentionally put into the movie. It's just another of those curiosities... -BT

This is all I know up till now. The latest version can be found at
http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/1486/


Genre:Animated Direct to Video
Studio:MovieToon Division
Walt Disney Pictures
Project Phase:In Re-Development
Release Date:1998
Voices:
Matthew Broderick (voice) .... Simba (adult)
Nathan Lane (voice) .... Timon
Ernie Sabella (voice) .... Pumbaa
Andy Dick, voice of the villainous Nunka, the son of Scar
Sarah Jessica Parker, voice of Aisha, the daughter of Simba
Matthew Broderick, voice of Simba.

Story: Simba's daughter,Aisha meets a mysterious lion named Nunka, what she doesn't know is that he is the son of Scar and is in love with her! When Simba finds out he has to come to terms if Nunka can be the next King of the Pride Lands.
(Which is extreamally difficult for Simba.)
The story was redone by Disney because they originally didn't like the other plot. Scar and Mufasa were brothers, of course, and Variety says the old subject of potentially incestuous cartoon lions has been a topic of heated discussion among top Disney executives.

Original Plot: The original plot to Simba's Pride was about Simba's daughter, Shani, who falls in love with Scar's son, Kovu. Incidentally, Kovu is Swahili for "Scar"). Simba has trouble dealing with his kingship one day going to Scar's bloodline. Some of the old early sketches seen contained mostly dancing wildebeasts. In this scenes, the wildebeasts look mad and out of their mind. They look like they just fell out of the "I Just Can't Wait to be King" sequence.Also, In the old sketches of Simba's Pride, Zazu was probably going to get a girlfriend, uncertain if that is still going to happen. Her name was Binti and the animators were having problems deciding what she should look like. There were about 20 different Bintis on the drawing borads. The current pictures of her range from the standard cute Disney bird all the way to a hip African beauty queen. There was also a scene of Binti where she was riding a rhino. Also, in Simba's Pride, there is a scene where some birds are waiting on a branch for a zebra to walk by and nailed to the tree next to them is a sign that says"bus stop".And then there are Kovu and Shani. Kovu is Skar's son, and they're really an item. Well, the idea in itself is kinda cute but I fear they'll make a big happy ending out of the whole thing. In the past,Disney Sequels haven't equalled up to the original, such as The Return of Jafar.

Yesterday I saw something on TV I was wondering a
lot about. That was a report about the 25th
anniversary of Disneyworld (or Disneyland?) I think. I wasn't paying full attention first, but
then I saw something really cool and I do NOT know
if it really has something to do with the sequel.
They were giving the viewer a quick look of what's
behind Disney Features, the artists. I saw a big
computer screen and about fifty frames a little
animation of a lioness cub who was talking to someone off camera, looking very happy. She looked quite like Nala, but that scene was NOT in TLK! I
never say Nala as cub from that angle before, and
this cub didn't look quite like her, too. As I said, it was just for a few seconds, no colors.
It looked just like when they were showing Lionking animation in the making of Lion King.
Does anyone else know something about this?

One more thing! When Lion King was released in germany here, I saw an article about it in the weekly newspaper. I would like to post a translation of it somewhere here. Can't include it in this message because it'd take too much time now. I love these web pages! =) However, any info regarding on how to make this article public would be nice.

Because... this artice was ... I don't know how to
say it! It was totally different. It was comparing
parts of the movie with history from world war 2 and other nonsense, and I really was shocked at how could someone dislike Lion King that much and write such a nonsense in a Newspaper! Unbelievable!

Again, I would like to give a translation to the pagemaster or post it. Have no access to newsgroups about Disney though =(.
