[quote="Kopa23"][quote="thanigraphics"]Yeah, it's really sad she didn't appear in SP. I heard from my boy that the voice actress that did Sarabi's voice in TLK, died. That might be the reason for not putting her into the second movie.[/quote]
Not really true. Why would they replace Zazu's voice and not Sarabi's?

I don’t know, but Zazu did have a larger (and more important) part to play in SP. They simply couldnn’t cut him out of the cast, regardless of wether Rowan Atkinson could provide the voice or not.
I suppose Sarabi was more.. get-rid-of-able??

(my English failed me there)
They could have easily gotten a new voice for Sarabi, but chose not to.
We just have to assume that she died sometime between TLK and SP. I think it would be great if the animators had:
1: Made Sarabi appear in scenes without speaking. (so they didn’t have to get a new voice actor for this character)
2: Work in a referance to her death somewhere, to make it final and clear why she doesn’t appear. F.ex, Nala could say something to Kiara when she goes on her first hunt "your grandmother would have been so proud of you" or Rafiki could have said "Ah Mufasa (and Sarabi) every day Kiara grows more beautiful..."
What do you think?
