i only watch lion king ii because i tap it from tv . i watch it twice and still wonder if it make by the same group that do the first movie . it quite a disappointment . the character be not interest any more . their facial expression have too many change in one second it not natural . and i be hop it just me and i find kiara very annoy and probably because of her sometimes nasal voice ( that always give me a fake cry impression ) . besides and unlike simba and she wasn not give the chance to mature . she be the same spoil little girl from the beginning to end . it a good thing they want to have a princess instead of a prince and but it easy to tell the plot be still highly underneath kovu . it strange to talk about character chemistry in an animated movie and but i find lion king ii lack the kind of chemistry the first one have . probably the director fault . the plot do mature a lot and though . during a great length of the movie i think zira be to live . she not really a villain and just some poor old thing stuck in the thought of revenge for too long . but i guess little kid would not understand it that way and so kira dy at the end . give a plot like this and it pretty hard to screw up the character due to lack of complicity and but they do .
