    • Trivia
      Zira means "hate" in Swahili; Kovu is Swahili for "scar;" Nuka is Swahili for "bad smell."
    • Goofs
      Okapis appear several times in the film. Whilst these animals are native to Africa, they live in dense rainforest, not on the plains where lions are found (and where they appear in the film). They would never naturally encounter lions.
    • Quotes

      Timon: Pumbaa, let me define BABY-SITTING!

    • Crazy credits
      At one point in the credits it says, "This film would not have been possible without the inspiration from the original motion picture and the work of its talented artists and animators.", and dedication appears. This feature copying from Pocahontas II (1998) during their credits.
    • Alternate versions
      For the 2004 DVD release, Kovu's scream was reanimated into two frames

    Most impressive sequel yet.

    Simba's Pride may be the first of Disney's sequels with a soundtrack worth purchasing. The music was very good and the art was also most impressive. The only voice I wasn't completely satisfied with was Edward Hibbert as Zazu. Even I could have made a better clone for Rowan Atkinson. The script was somewhat rough, and some of the scenes had some unnecessarily dark undertones, but I still believe this to be the best made sequel yet - thanks largely to some very good songs. Keep it up, Disney!
