Lion King 2 and the Civil Rights Movement
I know you're probably thinking , what the hell? this kid doesn't know what he's going on about, but think about it for a moment. Isn't what Simba did ,you know, exiling them to the Outlands like that, whasn't that a sort of racial segregation. After all couldn't you say that the Outlanders and Pridelanders are separate races of lions?
We can also compare characters in the film to people in the civil rights movement. Let's see Zira's kinda a female Malcolm X and well Kovu would be our Martin Luther King character. Just like in the real movement, racial integration wins over against the opposing,yet similar, 'power movements'. Also, Kiara and Kovu's marriage at the end would be representative of both racial unity and it would be a multiracial marriage.
On a closing note, Zazu and all the other animals who banished Kovu would be representative of both conservative controlled congress, and the general right-wing views of the population of that period.
