This two-disc presentation of the popular sequel delivers a better sounding DVD and looks a bit better than the initial release (although the original was pretty sharp). There are no changes in the film except a pop-up viewing mode with facts--fun and otherwise--about the film. The second disc is for the kids, including games, a cute documentary on African animals, and another installment of the Virtual Safari. This "ride" puts you in a jeep with Timon and Pumbaa as they race the jungle and pride lands bumping into various obstacles, all in booming Dolby 5.1 sound. The best extra is the new short "One by One" a modern day tale of Africa and the finest short from the studio since 2000's "John Henry." --Doug Thomas

Pretty Good:
Okay so its not as good as the original but then again what is. Its still a pretty good movie as far as sequels go.
The Lion King 2:
I can't so nothing bad about this dvd movie. You kept your case and disks in perfect condition that is the way I like keeping mines. Yes I am very happy and would order from this place again.
Better than average Disney sequel:

There was a brilliant villain in Scar voiced magnificently by Jeremy Irons, a... more info
Excellent sequel:
One of the few sequels that didn't kill the original disney movie. Here, like in the original Lion King shakespeare elements are used. This time Romeo and Juliet instead of Hamlet.
The music was excellent and memorable. Emotional and not the crappy canned music in so many other sequels.
A movie that I would still watch again and again.
