i guess so
they practically forgot about nala after the first movie when she’s one of the most popular characters in the franchise and definitely the most popular female character.
Sarabi is only popular among fans. Like, people who have seen the movie many many times. I constantly see her referred to as Simbas mom when she has a name that is mentioned in the movie several times.
And its mainly hardcore fans that know who Sarafina is because she has one line in the original and is only named in the credits.
Then you go deep in the rabbit hole of truly hardcore fans that can not only name every character in the entire franchise, their voice actors in multiple languages, other things those voice actors are famous for, and make super obscure jokes about that trivia no one else would understand.
Disney should probably give fans that obsessed lifetime disneyworld passes or something.
oh and another thing i noticed. in a battle in one of the episodes you see a fair bit of blood during a fight. most theatrical disney animated features dont have bloody battles. this is a disney jr show. imagine seeing a bloody wreck on mickey and the roadster racers. you wouldn’t.
Why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves back up again.
