In this topic I’ll tell you who my favourite characters are, and why I love them so much!
From TLK:
Mufasa. How can you not love The Lion King himself? To me, he is the True King. He’s so amazingly majestic, and you know he can protect his pride from any danger. He’s also a loving and playful mate and father, not to mention wise and kind.
Sarabi. This is one amazing lioness. She has immense inner strength and a regal dignity surpassed by none. She’s a perfect Queen for Mufasa, and she’s just as wise and strong as him. They are the ideal King and Queen.
Scar. The greatest villain Disney ever made. I love everything about him, from his voice and design to his evil, scheming mind. He truly is an amazing villain, but I also like him because he’s so amazingly complex, he fascinates me.
Sarafina. Not much is known about her, but I have my theories.
Nala. My top, all-time favourite. I adore Nala. She’s smart and strong, and a better fighter than Simba. She’s brave, and incredibly beautiful. She has the guts to speak her mind and stand up for herself when she feels unfairly treated. In my mind, she’s a very good, strong character in her own right, far more than a simple "love-intrest."
From SP:
This will probably come as a shock to most of you, but my favourite SP character is (Cub) Kiara.
To be honest, I hated her when I first watched the movie, I think I was 13 at the time. My first impression of her was not a good one. However, she quickly grew on me, and now I love her.
Why? Well, I love her positive attitude for one thing. The story of SP is quite dark. Eventhough it’s also Kovu and Kiaras love story, most scenes are filled with darkness, hate, anger.. negative feelings. I think Kiara brings a ray of sunshine into the movie, she gives it a sorely needed touch of optimism. She’s a kind of person that always sees the good in everyone, and tries to bring out the best in people.
Kiara makes me happy, and I need a little happy in my life.
I love her character because she’s so pure and innocent. Kiara is simply fun and love.
More coming soon!
