RELATED: Just How Deep Is 'The Lion King's' Debt To 'Hamlet?' The story is rife with conflict as Kovu secretly plots to kill Simba (voiced by Matthew Broderick) under orders from his mother, Zira (voiced by Suzanne Pleshette), and Simba struggles with trusting an “Outlander” enough to welcome him into the pride after years of dealing with grief and fear. Kiara (voiced by Neve Campbell), the daughter of Simba, and Kovu (voiced by Jason Marsden), the chosen heir of Scar, become childhood friends and eventually develop a forbidden romance. While the first film borrows elements from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride borrows from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, continuing the theme of Shakespearean tragedies re-imagined. However, direct-to-video sequels get far more hate than they deserve, especially considering the existence of The Lion King’s sequel, which is one of the best direct-to-video Disney movies. For the most part, they are bogged down by low-budget animation, weak plot lines, and, in some cases, replacement voice actors. The Hindi version features Shah Rukh Khan as the Mufasa whereas Aryan Khan as Simba.It’s widely accepted that direct-to-video Disney sequels usually don’t compare with the original films in terms of quality. The Lion King features Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Alfre Woodard, Billy Eichner, John Kani, John Oliver, James Earl Jones and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter voicing the iconic characters. The Lion King is expected to collect Rs 13 to 15 crores on its first day.
