My Lion King Forum

Several people probably already noticed this but I guess I just wanted to make a topic about so for people who did not. If there's already a topic like this, may this be closed.

Anyways, when Kovu and Kiara were cubs and Kiara introduces herself by saying "I'm Kiara", she leans forward towards Kovu and Kovu kinda backs up away from her. I've noticed that when they're adults after Kovu saves Kiara from the fire, when Kiara yells at him "Who do you think you are?", Kovu backs up the same way he then when they were cubs.

Except, of course, Kiara's really mad this time. Lol, I think the pictures of the resemblance should be attached below so you can see. ^^ I'll say I'm not entirely sure if this was intentional by Disney or not, but I found it quite interesting.

Ah, nice find, Roku! It may or may not be intentional, but there's a lot of hidden symbolism in Simba's Pride that you may not find in your first viewing.

Good find! I love Kovu's face in the first shot!

I never picked up on that. good find.

I`ve never really thought about that, nice!

What`s interesting to me, is why is Kovu looking so scared as a cub? He seems to have a major issue with Kiara getting in his personal space, lol.
