SP Concept Art Petition

[TheLionPrince]

Hey, guys!

I just recently found a petition that is created to urge Disney to release more concept art from The Lion King II: Simba's Pride in order to find out more about what happened during the film's production.

Here's the website: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/lionkingconcepts/

I don't know about you, but the production of Simba's Pride is one of the most interesting of any of the Disney sequels. Our good friend, Noah, found interesting information about its production history:

[quote="Noah"]The sequel was thought of before the original was released in theaters, [and] it was reported in early 1995 that the sequel was supposed to released in "the next twelve months", but it got delayed and then it was reported in May 1996 that it would be released "early next year" (meaning early 1997), but the Chicago Tribune reported it was still in the production phase in March 1997. Finally it was reported it would get released in November 1998, which is when it really was released. [/quote]

What Disney sequel gets delayed that many times? Plus, over the years there were mentions of characters such as Chaka (Simba's son) and Binti (Zazu's girlfriend) that were deleted from the final movie. Would be interesting to see their concept art especially Binti, which is rumored to have 20. Not to mention, the infamous idea to have Kovu and Kiara be cousins, that according to Variety became "a topic of heated discussion among top Disney executives" according to this website.

If you are a hardcore LK fan, you would sign this petition! It wouldn't hurt to know!
