The Lion King II: Simba's Pride/Trivia

* Cam Clarke replaces Joseph Williams as Simba's singing voice.
* In France, in the closing credits, it used Tina Turner singing "He Lives in You" and a cover of "Upendi" over it, instead of instrumental music and "Love Will Find a Way".
* Its surge in popularity in recent years is likely due to the fact that the director, Darrel Rooney, stated on Twitter that Kovu was an orphan.
** This significantly alters the film from every other film Disney made based on Romeo and Juliet in the fact the character that resembles Romeo is an orphan.
* On the 2-Disc Special Edition DVD, the film is in widescreen, unlike its previous home video releases. Showing more picture on the sides.
* When Timon shouts "Let me at 'em!" and tries to make a run at Kovu, he has Pumbaa hold him back, but he lets go afterward, and Timon tells him that he "missed the basic point." This is a would-be reference to Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo.
* The film is similar to The Fox and the Hound. Both protagonists meet friends when they are supposed to be enemies (Copper for Tod, Kovu for Kiara) both protagonists are encouraged to fall in love, and later on they do (Tod and Vixey, Kiara and Kovu) and both antagonists have someone who is a pawn in their plan, but later sacrifice themselves (Chief and Nuka) however Nuka died and Chief survived.
* Sarabi, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed appear in the sequel. Sarabi made a few cameos in the film but had a few speaking lines, because her new voice actress Vanessa RedGrave replaced Madge Sinclair, after her death in 1995. In the original script, this character has an important role. Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed appear as Zira's new henchmen although the producers were forced to put them in one of the broadcast's.
* Matthew Broderick returned to play Simba since 4 years after the 1st Film in 1994. Especially 4 or 5 Months after his role as Dr. Niko "Nick" Tatopoulos in the Live Action 1998 sci-fi Film Godzilla.
* Later, Jason Marsden and the late Suzanne Pleshette would do voices together in Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away, with Marsden as the voice of Haku, apprentice to Pleshette's wicked Yubaba (and Pleshette also voiced good-natured twin sister Zeniba).
* Previously, Liz Callaway (the singing voice of Adult Kiara) and Lacey Chabert (the speaking voice of Young Vitani) had done the singing voices of the title character in Don Bluth and Fox's Anastasia (with Callaway singing as the Adult Anastasia/Anya in place of Meg Ryan, and Chabert doing Child Anastasia in place of Kirsten Dunst).
** Not to mention, Jim Cummings (voicing Scar entirely in this sequel, after voicing Ed and finishing the singing for Jeremy Irons in the original) would do the singing voice of that other movie's villain, Rasputin (in place of Christopher Lloyd).
* Kiara and Kovu's love story as the members of feuding prides is somewhat similar to that of Romeo and Juliet in the William Shakespeare play of the same name. However unlike the story where Romeo and Juliet died, Kiara and Kovu are still alive and lived happily ever after together.
* The Lion Guard episode "Return to the Pride Lands" takes place after the movie and also mirrors the ending of the movie.
