My Lion King Forum

Okay, a lot of people have been saying that the lioness in TLK2SP that says "My, how you've grown!" is a new character, but I looked carefully at the script, and this mysterious lioness is Sarafina! If you don't believe me, check TLK2 script for yourself!

Great find. I always kind of knew it was Sarafina. That cleared it up for me. Thanks loads ^^

Almost everyone figured it out it was Sarafin in the first place, but I didn't really care

actually that script was why I thought that. that and Sarafina looks like the majority of miscellaneous lionesses in TLK, so they carried it over with the different style of TLK2.

There's one problem though - that's not the official SP script. Brian Tiemann or whoever wrote that probably assumed that that's Sarafina, but we can't be certain. In the official Simba's Pride Script, the speaker of those lines is called "Random Lionesses". http://www.scifiscripts.com/cartoon/TheLionKing2.txt
So sorry to "burst your bubble" as Zazu would say...

Same actress but yeah.

well, technically that's not official either unless Disney publishes it, no one has the official script. so we may never know...just like how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.

Just because she has the same voice actress doesn't mean she's Sarafina... She doesn't look like her... But after all, do Simba and Nala look like themselves?
I don't know... She might be Sarafina. Or not.

Exactly.

I don't think she's Sarafina. I think she's just a random lioness.

Well, Sarafina definitely was in the film.

Wikipedia - Zoe Leader
"Zoe Ann Leader (born 1949) is a voice actress who provided the voice of Sarafina in the 1994 Disney animated film The Lion King and its 1998 direct-to-video sequel The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. She only had one line in each film."

We just don't know which lioness she is. XD
