A sequel called ''The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride'' was released on home video in 1998, based on Shakespeare's ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]''. Simba and Nala's daughter Kiara learns about the Outlanders, a group of lions led by Zira who are still loyal to Simba's evil late uncle Scar. Things get more complicated when Kiara and one of the Outlanders, Kovu, fall in love with each other.
