I couldn't say it was the best, I think they could have made it better, I don't really like the songs except for "He lives in you" I like the characters, but I think Kiara was a little too rude, other wise they weren't too bad! Simba didn't seem himself though, I didn't see the old Simba... :( Kovu and Vitani are my two favorite characters in this film. The animation could have used a little more color and not so much dimness. I didn't like the "plans for murder" dealeo too much, but it was interesting, I wouldn't say it would be bad for kids or anything like that, the only "scary" part about it is when the Lions fight, but think about it, its what lions do to gain territory sometimes. Besides, human beings have done FAR worse than lions have, that's the truth. At least lions figure out they're one, humans still quarrel about black and white, nazi and jew, fat or skinny. . I'm just pointing that out. . . I want to go outside without being worried I'll be kidnapped. I want to be free again, like lions are.
