Yeah, I've seen this before. I don't have much to say, but...
I can't imagine Jennifer Aniston voicing Kiara. I love her as an actor, but her voice just isn't Kiara. It's too "grown-up" or something. Not that Neve Campbell (whom I also love as an actor) sounds childlike, no, but she's just more...girly, yes I think that's the word I was looking for. Kiara is total girly-girl and Aniston's voice just isn't enough so. As for Parker, I can't recall her voice now and I'm too lazy to check. ^^
Amd I think it's entirely possible that Zira was originally intented to be Scar's mate, but just not the queen. I'd guess usually the two should be the same thing but I wouldn't be surprised if Scar didn't respect this. He did say "I'm the king, I can do whatever I want." So Zira as Scar's mate wouldn't have even contradicted the canon film really.
But I too think that the mate-ness was thrown away at the same time when Kovu was no longer Scar's son. Because even though at that point too they did have Zira say that she'd be Scar's queen if Scar was still the king, it could be just her wishful thinking and personal belief simply for Scar chose her cub as his heir. I'm convined it's just that and nothing more because the script has Rafiki say "But that is where Simba banished Scar's followers including the most loyal...Zira". I think if Zira was still supposed to have been Scar's mate, that line would've said so, instead of refering to her simply as "the most loyal follower".
