2nd Lion King 2 Comparison Part 2

In my previous comparison, I compared Zira to Malcolm X and Kovu to Martin Luther King. Zira for this comparison will be compared to Nelson Mandela. There isn't really a Steve Biko character though.

Kiara and Kovu's relationship and the other's disaprovval of it, can't it be compared to Seremse Khatama and Ruth Williams's marriage and the distain put on it by the South African goverment.

2nd Lion King 2 Comparison Part 1

I've thought about it for a bit, and I think that maybe the Lion King writers may also have had inspiration from all the terrible things that happened in South Africa. Think about it, it had apartheid had ended about four, five or six years before the Lion King 2 came out in 1998.


There are quite a few similarities. First of all, couldn't the Outlands be thought of as the black homelands.
