Lion King II is great y'all

Idk why but I feel compelled to say that the Lion King II is not as bad as many "Lion King Purist" make it out to be. Sure I understand that some roles have been recast and it ruins the "nostaliga" but for me that doesn't ruin the experience. I see it common to dismiss straight to DVD disney sequels as low quality cash grabs, and I get it, many of them clearly show it. But there's something different about this one, the quality in animation, the voice acting, the soundtrack, it's above other straight to DVD Disney movie sequels.

Lion king II was as much a part of my childhood as The Lion King. When LK1 came out I didn't see it. I was literally born that year. It wasn't until 1998 that I saw it, the same year LK2 came out. I had both of them and throughout my childhood I would watch both of them in a row. The soundtrack is burned into my mind.

And man that soundtrack. Lion King II's soundtrack is BANGERS yo! I'd say it's on par with the original Lion King's soundtrack but that's just my wild take.

He lives in you and We are one touch my soul

Upendi is such a fun falling in love song, visuals are great, lyrics are cool

One of us is AMAZING like...y'all how can anyone hate this?

And Love will find a way gives me chills tbh. I'm a sucker for duets and this one its...idk I just love it so much

Just look at that animation. This is is not your 2nd rate cash-grab make-a-quick-buck movie animation. You can see and hear the love put in it.

Now I do not know the history or any hardships that the cast and animators went when making this movie, I'm just comparing the animation quality of this one to other Disney DVD sequels.

Guys, I don't know how to end this. I just felt like saying that Lion King II is great. No it's not better that The Lion King but that is no reason to dismiss it. If you haven't seen it give it a watch, enjoy the soundtrack.

this whole scene deserves to be played out in full

I thought the exact same thing to I was like...this man killed his dad to get his tech and is using music to enslave people and blackmail a village??? There is overwatch lore? Where?!

Not to be that dick, but some people in the fandom really are in denial about what Lucio has done. I keep seeing people claim we ‘don’t know that he’s evil, it’s all just rumours’ and I’m like… what? Let Lucio be evil, don’t turn him into a weepy ‘I had no choice’ villain please.

He has enslaved people.

He has blackmailed a village.

He has ripped people’s hearts out.

He did neglect his people and let them starve, let their districts flood.

He did kill his father.

He did try to kill his mother.

And those are just a few that are mentioned or shown, that I remember right now. If I go through the whole story again I’m sure I’ll find more.

Clearly I’m not saying you can’t like Lucio - hell I do - but don’t pretend like he’s some misunderstood wounded man who only looks evil because of lies.

The best argument you could make is saying he’s not malicious but rather indifferent, and that is still evil.
