The Lion King II: Simba's Pride

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (later retitled The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride) is a direct-to-video movie released by the Walt Disney Company on October 27, 1998 as a sequel to The Lion King and was re-released as a special-edition DVD (which altered the original title's "II" into "2") on August 31, 2004. As of September 30, 2005, it is the highest grossing direct-to-video animated feature release of all time, with gross sales exceeding $300 million USD. ^{[citation needed]}

In 1998, Disney believed that Simba's Pride would be so popular that it shipped 15 million copies to stores for the October 27 release date.[1] Disney sold 3.5 million copies in three days. Thirteen million copies were sold while it was still in print in the late 90s.[2]

This movie was "not rated" until the 2-disc Special Edition was released. It was then given a G rating by the MPAA.

While the original film's plot seems to have been based on the Shakespeare play Hamlet, this sequel's plot is similar to another Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet.[3]
