Mickey's voice actor has died numerous times. He's still everywhere.
And Zazu's original actor quit. But he's still in the movie.
So Sarabi is really no exception.
Is this my que for saying "I thought we were talking about Sarabi"?

Anyway, like I mentioned earlier.. If Sarabi was in SP, there’s no way we’d miss it. Of course Disney could replace her voice actress, but we have to remember that in the story of SP, Sarabi isn’t an important character, even her role in TLK was a very minor one.
If Sarabi did appear in SP. why on earth wasn’t she present at Kiaras presentation? Timon and Pumbaa were there, so why would Simba’s mother and Kiaras grandmother be excluded?
I honestly don’t think Sarabi was in SP at all, simply because she was a "disposable" character. Zazu is important for the story, he plays the role of the Kings right-hand man, his advisor and helper. They couldn’t remove him from the character list simply because Rowan Atkinson didn’t show up to lend his voice again.
With Sarabi it’s different, it’s easy to assume she passed away sometime between the end of TLK and beginning of SP. She doesn’t appear in TLK6NA either, for that matter. Sarabi simply isn’t a key character for the story, she wouldn’t add anything to the film by appearing in SP. I love her, but she’s not a major character, and that’s what Disney movies revolve around.
