6 songs in the Soundtracks, plus a reprise.
Decent sequel. Engaging story.
I'm very fuzzy about whose cub Kovu is. He seems to be the son of Scar's wife, but not Scar's son. And by the end of the film he seems mated to Kiara, Simba's daughter and Scar's great niece.
Interesting that this precedes Lion King 1.5.
I didn't recognize SP or AD, or NC for that matter. But did recognize MB, RG and NL. NL & ES as Timor and the warthog were not quite so obnoxious here. But maybe that's relative to the story, which may not have been so consistently intense as the original.
Interesting (vocally) that James Earl Jones has Matthew Broderick as a son.
Rated 6.5 (51,078)
