Fun fact for you is that originally Zira was going to k/ll herself rather than accept Kira’s help by letting go of the cliff voluntarily. They cut this because it was too dark - but you can still see Zira smiling as she falls into the water. Her original death was lined and storyboarded but was never finished. Its up on UA-cam
I used to have that version. Kiara reached out to her and Zira said “No. N e v e r” and then let go. It was honestly terrifying, as I had never seen a character kill themself before.
@@j01sonofsleazy That reminds me of Rafiki's meditation scene, where he talks to Mufasa's spirit, as he paints Kovu and Kiara's pictures on his tree. Amidst this, he says, "-- and Zira fills his heart with hate." (3/7/2024)
6. Korvu was originally planned to be confirmed as Scar's son but his blood relation to Kiara would have made them an incest couple due to them being 1st cousins and would not be family friendly. 7. Zira was meant to kill herself.
All of Simba's children has names that start with K... And his son-in-law's name starts with K too! Maybe his grandchild's name would start with K as well?
@@FluffyCoconutcreator not creators, tezuka osamu created kimba and was deceased when the lion king was made. His wife said he would of been fine if he inspired Disney to make a movie based on his creation. Kimba was inspired by Bambi
Kion was already alive at the time of Kiara getting older. I think they timed it so he left to the tree of life at the time of Kiara getting older and meeting Kovu again
Technically third born, Kopa is first but Disney scrapped him which is why fans assume Zira killed him before Kiara was born hence why Simba is soooo protective of Kiara at first and Kion as well.
The real reason they didn't kill Simba off is because they couldn't profit off him anymore lol. TLK (original movie) is one of Disney's most popular movies, if they killed off the OG, then they'd lose money because they could no longer make the merch. No one buys TLK2 merch, even today in 2024, we still buy merch with Simba on it.
Sure, the environment of the film is in East Africa ( in Tanzania Serengeti national park) expected to have such name ( aisha) because of the mixture of religions ( Christian & Islam) aisha is Islam name. Film has many "swahili" words too the language of the people of East Africa.
They didn't want the name Aisha, bc it was the name of a yellow power ranger? But like why tho? Would it have been so bad? Also, I never watched power rangers, so maybe that's why this is lost on me?
Surprised they left out that Kopa from the book was supposed to be in the movie but was scrapped leading to fans believing Zira kills him hence Simba's overprotectiveness with Kiara
Kiara and Kovu would have never gotten to be together if simba was killed and if simba was killed the movie would be messed up and not the way it is supposed to be
Adding onto this Have tou ever wondered why before Zira fell to her death, she looked scared and desprate, but as she fell she had this absolutely deranged smile? Well thats because in the original concept, Zira wasnt going to fall, she was actually going to respond to Kiara's offer to help with, "No... never..." and straight up kill herself by flinging herself off the cliff. It was obviously removed because lets be honest, a villian straight up killing herself would fuck kids up more than Mufasa dying
Maybe it would have been better if Simba was killed after all when Kira was a Cub. He said that one day I won't be here and I need you to carry on in my place. I mean, if Simba did die, kovu would have been the new king. After all, zira was planning for him to be the new king of Pride rock Anyway, even though he's not related to scar, but he did choose him to be the new king.
“Being to similar to Mufasa”
Nah more so they didn’t wanna traumatize the kids a second time lol
that scence made every kid who watched it cry uncontrolabbly
i remember running to my mom crying saying he died
And I still don't watch that scene to this day because it makes me cry even if I know what's going to happen.

Indeed, Shetani means "my devil" in Arabic, I'm glad they changed it 😅
It can also mean devilish
It also sounds like s***ani
Edit: HOLY S*** so many likes
If anything it would’ve made more sense as a name for Zira considering how evil and hateful she is. Vitani was able to be redeemed.

But she does kill herself... Doesn't she?
"No, Never" and then pushes Kiara away and dies
@@kpe02 She pushed Kiara away, let go of the cliff and fell into heavy rushing water. Yes, she killed herself.

Lion king 2 is Disney's best sequal. It would've been terrible if they killed simba off
Ye, I wouldn't be able to get over it if they did that😢
i prefer Lion King 1/2 over this. I guess i just like having a bit more backstory on Timon and Pumbaa
"Too similar to Mufasa's death" But... But my cinematic parallels!
Its like poetry... they rhyme

Vitani isn’t much different than Shetani. It translates to “demon of war”

@@lukraniom8731 what in the world are you talking about?
Why would they care that kiara had the same name as a power ranger? They didn’t care that simba was close to kimba, another animated Lion
Because one coincidence is enough
I think they just don't like power rangers 😂
mmm suspicious
Because they asked the creators of kimba if they can use similar name.

Prolly cause it sounds like “shit on he” 😂
It also kind of sounds like a mushroom.
@@akaCol1987 It does sound like shiitake.
If Simba had died in Simba’s Pride then The Lion Guard wouldn’t exist because Kion is the second-born child of Simba and Nala

I knew all this. Obsessed with The Lion King. 😊
SAME 😊
BRUH ME TOO!!
not only was Kiara's named changed from Aisha, she was also supposed to be named Shani in an earlier script.
Lol I had a audio book of simba's pride, where vitani was constantly called shetani 😂 now I know why!
I know it might be kinda dark of me to say this but I kinda wanna see what would have happened if Simba did die from the attack.
Kirara being named Aisha wouldn't have been such a good idea in my opinion as well ☪🫣
Why?
@@Bloombaby99 its the name of prophet mohammed's wife
Why was the scene were kovu was catching a bug deleted?🤔
To violate
Time constraints.
I think it was more along the lines that it makes no sense to have it there and what they decided to go with fit the story and progressed it
It sounds pretty dumb and unnecessary😭
@@animegamerjace9851 well it kinda shows a bit more how Zira raised her kids and about her mindset. That scene is still on youtube, I think.
New facts
I knew about the actor the played Sarabi died one after the lion King but the others I didn't know about?
You should talk about five crazy facts of zira blaming Kovu for Nuka’s death

i’d say that of all the Lion King characters, him, along with Timon and Pumbaa, are the most popular when it comes to merchandise
Simba dying in the second film would have been the worst thing to even consider, as he is the lead role in the first film
my name is Kiara😀
2 the best one by far
“Too similar to Mufasa’s death.” So the outlanders are just wildebeest wearing lion clothes?
"You can hear random characters call her this"
Shetani is never said in the film by anyone 💀
My name is Aisha
That’s a pretty name
May I ask what does that mean or what origin. Cool name tho.
Sure, the environment of the film is in East Africa ( in Tanzania Serengeti national park) expected to have such name ( aisha) because of the mixture of religions ( Christian & Islam) aisha is Islam name. Film has many "swahili" words too the language of the people of East Africa.

In disney mufasa is my hero.he is very powerful,strong,brave,bold,clever
You are a girl.marry a man like mufasa.he will be true with you.he will not cheat you.
Number 4 father like son
Also Zira has a deleted death she says Never and let go smiling
Her yelling at Kovu because he didn't kill a bug after playing with it is a bit over board. Glad they said no
If they kept the scene that simba died it would be like a father like some thing going on
There is a awesome Song in this movie
Originally, Zira was going to be Scar’s wife
kovu < bug
Funny that back then they change that stuff about Vitani’s name, but nowadays they don’t care
Disney actually backed down to Saban.
Adding onto this

"Shetani" means "she devil" in Swahili and "Vitani" means "demon of war" in Swahili so either one really suits her.
Where can i watch these movies
did you know Vitani's actual real name is actually Vitaliny
I'M DYING, WE WATCHED LK1 ON BIG SCREEN, AND ON MUFASA DYING, THE KID IN FRONT OF US DIDN'T EVER SEE THE MOVIE 😭😭😭😭 SHE DIDN'T KNOW HE DIED😭
Mufasa and Sarai are the same as King Jaffe and Aeolean Joffer. Same actors with both wives killed off due to Madge's death
Vitani is Nala’s and Scars baby
Okay I love you mama and Luciano
In the book Canon, Vitani was Nala's best friend as kids. 😉
I guess this makes total sense
Pretty sure I had a book where the bug scene was in it. Or at least part of that scene
Simba dying would destroy the movie and the lion guard

In the lion King Simba was pride. There was a mystery that Mufasa brother got agent by.
What if they spelled Shetani like Shitani it would have a bad word in it lol

Indeed, Shetani means devilish in hindi
don’t forget about zira’s suicide scene
Vitani means “ War demon”
Vitani is a swahili word
#Simba
if he died they probably would’ve showed kion
Se avessero ucciso simba avrei fatto ricorso immediato😂🥴
Transition period. When mufasa is king 1:23 vs scar being king 1:29, u can tell how scar has such a twisted soul .

Vitani also translates to Demon or Demon of War 😂 so Disney kinda failed there
