Kovu decides to leave after trying to confess his real intentions, but Rafiki stops and invites the young lions to experience ' Upendi'РІР‚вЂњ which means love. Simba, who is hesistant to trust the young Outlander around his daughter, seeks guidance from the 'Great Kings' and Nala advises him to give Kovu a chance, because he is not his father. That night, Kovu tells Kiara that he is not Scar's real son, but 'was a part of him'. Together, they have fun playing, something Kovu notes he has never experienced before. During the lesson, they run into Timon and Pumbaa struggling with some birds, so the two lions help them chase the birds off. In the morning, he walks outside the den and yawns and stretches and goes to drink on a watering hole where Kovu contemplates attacking him, but Kiara interrupts and they go off together so Kovu can help her learn to hunt. That same night, Simba has a nightmare about his father's death, only in the dream, Scar morphs into Kovu and throws the panicked and frightened Simba off the cliff. Drawn by the smoke, Simba finds them together and reluctantly thanks Kovu for rescue his daughter and allows him to come to Pride Rock, though he is ordered to sleep outside the den. Nuka and VitaniР’В set fire to the plains where Kiara is hunting, causing her to faint and giving Kovu the chance to rescue her. Furious to find out her father has lied, Kiara goes further from home to hunt away from the Pridelands, though is still unsuccessful in her efforts. However, Simba is worried and fearful of his daughter unprotected and sends Timon and Pumbaa to watch her again, after promising not to. Now a young adult, Kiara heads out from home to do her first solo hunt.

At that moment, Zira returns and scolds both of her sons, but then decides that she can use Kovu's new friendship with Kiara to get her revenge against Simba. In the Outlands, Zira's eldest son, Nuka, complains to his younger sister Vitani about Kovu's status as 'the Chosen One'. Unwilling to harm the cub, Simba orders them to leave and later scolds Kiara for endangering herself and wants her to be careful when she is the future queen. Zira reminds Simba that he banished the outlanders, and notes that if he wants to punish them, Kovu is Scar's hand-chosen successor.

After escaping a river filled with crocodiles, the two become friendly, but Simba and Kovu's mother, Zira, quickly end their playtime. One day while they are arguing over their lunchtime, Kiara sneaks into the 'Outlands' where she meets a young cub named Kovu. Later in the morning, Simba becomes very over-protective of young Kiara, assigning Timon and Pumbaa to be her babysitters. Mufasa's spirit watches over the ceremony. The film opens where the first film ended where Rafiki gathers the animals of the Pride Lands together for the presentation of King Simba, andР’В Queen Nala'sР’В new daughter Kiara. Also, Madge Sinclair, who was the voice of Sarabi, died before this film was made, so her character was written out. Most of the original cast reprised their roles from the first film, with the exceptions of Rowan Atlkinson, who was replaced by Edward Hibbert. Discussion began about the possibility of a sequel to The Lion King before the first film even hit theaters. Desperate to be together, they must overcome the two obstacles that are keeping them apart: Kovu's mother, Zira, and Simba's prejudices against the Outsiders. The film centers around Kiara, who falls in love with Kovu, a male lion who was raised in a pride of Scar's followers and Simba's enemies, the Outsiders. It was also re-released again on Blu-ray alongside The Lion King and The Lion King 1 1/2 on April 30, 2013. It was later re-released as a special edition DVD (which altered the original title's 'II' into '2') on August 31, 2004. The film is the sequel to The Lion King (Film). The Lion King 2 Simba's Pride is a 1998 American direct to video animated film released by Walt Disney Home Video on October 27, 1998.
