Peter Stack San Francisco Chronicle 11/12/2019
Hewing to the exotic epic look of the original blockbuster, the new direct-to-video sequel "The Lion King II: Simba's Pride" is enchanting small-screen entertainment that feels big. Go to Full Review
Caryn James New York Times 11/12/2019
It's disappointing that this girls-are-strong theme doesn't play out as smartly as it should, but that's the one weakness in this sleek, joyful, entertaining film. Go to Full Review

LION KING II is good by Disney sequel standards and unique in that the story actually follows directly from the first movie. Go to Full Review

3/4
Lots of grub jokes, catchy musical interludes and a satisfying villainess with the voice of Suzanne Pleshette. Go to Full Review

John K @WQCMI 4d Just another cash-grabby Direct-to-Video sequel. Nobody wanted a Lion King 2 and we got one anyway because the original made money. Also, I can't tell who most of the new characters are and get mixed up. What a waste of time.

See more Marcus F @RT21667214 Jan 3 I love the story and it is incredibly underrated as a sequel See more Dean B. @MovieGeek08 Dec 4 Kovu and Kiara's love story! Its so sweet! See more Samuel G @RT40782160 Nov 23 Thankfully, I finally saw the original The Lion King and its sequel, Simba's Pride on Freeform over the summer before my senior year in West Orange High School started.
