Initially, Kiara had an older brother named Chaka (who was supposed to be a child at the end of the first film). It was removed due to history complications. Just as the first film is said to be based on hamlet, the sequel has elements of another Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet. The roar of the tiger is used instead of the roar of the lion. In real life, lion roars are not as strong, and their mouths resemble the shape of a pipe.

Most of the original actors reprised their roles from the original, with notable exceptions Rowan Atkinson, who was replaced by Edward Hibbert as the voice of Zazu. Jeremy irons was also replaced by Jim Cummings as the voice of Scar in this film, as he originally did for the last few lyrics of "Be ready". Simba's daughter was originally named Aisha, but it was changed when Disney realized that it was already the name of the Yellow Ranger Power Rangers (1993). Zirker means "hate" in Swahili; Kovu is Swahili for "scar"; Nuka is Swahili for "unpleasant smell".

The opening song "He lives in you" was also used in the Broadway version of the Lion King. (About 65 minutes). Pumbaa, fighting over who should have been watching Kiara, calls Timon " fat, fat, fat." This is exactly what Matthew Broderick (Simba) called Nathan lane (Timon) in their fight in the Broadway play the Producers. Simba's mother, Sarabi, does not appear in the entire film. This was probably done intentionally and out of respect for Madge Sinclair, who passed away a year after the lion King (1994) was released. In a broken scene, the young Kovu was shown playing with a bug, and his mother Zira scolded him for letting it go instead of killing it when he finished playing with it. The filmmakers showed that Pride Rock is symbolically portrayed almost always in the shadows, unlike the original film.

In an earlier version, Simba was actually going to be killed by Outlanders. It was probably not included in the film, where Simba survived all this way to avoid a similar tragedy from what happened to Mufasa in the first film. There are many similarities with the Lion King. Simba warns Kiara to stay away from the beyond, just as Mufasa warned the young Simba. When Kiara stumbles upon the beyond, she forgets her father's warning and wanders the forbidden territory, as the young Simba and Nala did when they explored the Elephant Cemetery. The song "My lullaby" is also similar to "Be ready". Jennifer aniston, Alicia Silverstone, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Jessica Parker were considered for the role of Ciara.

"Vitani" was originally "Shetani". You can hear the characters call her by that name. It means "devil" in Kiswahili, however, and Disney may have thought it was inappropriate, thereby changing it to something less offensive. "Vitani" has no meaning in the Swahili language, from which the names of most of the characters are taken. Joss Whedon wrote the song "My lullaby" and received an Annie nomination. Suzanne Pleshette and Jason Marsden portraying the mother and the son of Zira and Kovu. Three years after this film, both actors began voicing characters with similar relationships in Hayao Miyazaki's Oscar-winning animated film, gone with the ghosts (2001). In this film, Neve Campbell ("Adult Ciara") and Lacey Chabert ("Young Vitani") worked together on "the five Of us" (1994). Jane Leaves was originally going to voice Binti, Zazu's buddy, before Binti was removed from the film.

Bette Midler and Helen Mirren were considered for the role of Zira. They were also considered for the role of Sarabi in the first lion King film, but Midler was busy filming Hocus pocus and Gypsy (1993) at the time. Cam Clark, who voiced Simba in his appearances on television and in video games, provided Simba's singing voice for this film. Kovu eventually became the king of Pride, which means that Zira did succeed in her plan to fulfill scar's dying wish, but not to avenge His death by killing Simba.

Vitani and Kovu seem close, for example, when she turns to Simba's pride, she is seen next to Kovu. Despite her role as an auxiliary antagonist, Vitani was the only outsider who showed genuine love for Kov. Although the name of the villain, Zira, doesn't sound scary unless you know it means "hate"; in the Icelandic version, it sounds more sinister. The same pronunciation of her name actually means "acid" in Icelandic (although this is spelled as "Sýra".) Zira's role as a follower of Skar contradicts the events of the first film, where all the lionesses present at the time were followers of Mufasa and Simba and fought alongside Simba against Skar. Later in the Lion Guard, it was revealed that she and Scar were very close and that He shared with her his knowledge of the Roar of the Elders. Vitani has a slightly changeable design throughout the film. Vitani as a cub was shown without the dark the devil and the tapered cheeks (like a Cove). As a teenager, her cheeks were rounded (like Kiara's and Nala's) and sometimes were painted with dark ears, and sometimes without.

Vitani is one of the few, if not only cubs, who are actually obedient to their parents and don't seem to have stubborn strength, unlike Nuki (who ignores his mother's orders to look after Kovu), Kovu (who quickly leaves the outland in a place he can't), Kiara (who does the same), and Simba (who deliberately disobeys his father to check out the elephant Graveyard). Vitani seems completely devoted to her mother's story, right up to the last moments of the film. The second bear cub that obediently acts towards its parents is KION. As in the Lion guard: return of the roar, KION did not want to enter the beyond, hinting that Simba had informed him of the dangers there. Lacey Chabert (Young Vitani) collaborated with Alfre Woodard (Sarabi in the Live Action reboot of the franchise) in the Nickeloden series " the wild Thornberry family "(1998) and his film" the wild Thornberry family " (2002). This is the only disney animated sequel to "Straight to video" and "Straight to DVD" that airs on Freeform (formerly the ABC family) along with its first animated film.

When Outlander lionesses are with Zira, their claws are always out. When they cross over to Simba's side, their claws are sheathed. Initially, when Nuka died, his last words were not "Sorry, mom, I tried", but " Sorry, mom, I tried. I think I finally got your attention, don't you?"This extended scene was not included in the final version. Perhaps symbolically, after the alien lionesses join Simba's pride, their sinister appearance is replaced by a softer, friendlier, more similar to the original pride lionesses. Initially, when Zira died at the end, she said "No, never" when Kiara offered her help, and deliberately let go of the stones, killing herself. This extended scene was not included in the final version. There is an extended scene of Zira's death, which is almost the same as in the original, except that Ciara offers her help. Zira looks back at the river, then back at Kiara, saying, " No ..."Ciara gasps, and Zira smiles maliciously and ends with the words" Never!"she throws herself off a cliff and drowns in the river. Disney deleted the scene, saying it was "too painful for a Disney movie"

When Zira blames Kovu for Nuka's death, her reasoning is ironic for someone who valued Shram highly. She told kov that He had betrayed his pride, and that was what Skar had done when he allowed the hyenas to take over. She also told him that he "killed his own brother," which, again, is exactly what Scar did. In addition, Kovu cannot be held responsible for this, because when Nuka fell, he had nothing to do with It. This scene is similar to when Scar accused Simba of killing his father. But while scar was just trying to talk Simba out of it, Zira really believed what She said was true.
