One day, while Timon and Pumbaa are distracted because they're arguing over their lunchtime, Kiara sneaks into the Outlands where she meets a young cub named Kovu. Months later, Simba becomes very overprotective of young Kiara, assigning Timon and Pumbaa ( Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella) to be her babysitters.

The film opens a few months after the events of the first film where Rafiki gathers the animals of the Pride Lands together for the presentation of King Simba and Queen Nala's new daughter Kiara, with Mufasa's spirit proudly watching over the ceremony.

The film centers around Simba and Nala's daughter, Kiara, who falls in love with Kovu, a male lion raised in a pride of Scar's followers and Simba's enemies, the Outsiders. The Blu-ray edition went into the Disney Vault on April 30, 2013. It was also re-released again on Blu-ray alongside The Lion King and The Lion King 1½.

It was later re-released as a special edition DVD (which altered the original title's "II" into "2") on August 31, 2004. The film is the sequel to the 1994 Disney animated feature film, The Lion King.
