Animation
Here are some of Disney's Direct to Home Video that I have the pleaseure to be a part of. I am blessed enough to be always chosen as one of the animators that is assigned to the main character's team. My years in Disney has got to be the highest pinnacle of my animation career and the most enjoyable as I was relocated from Manila to Sydney to join the best animators of Australia.
The Lion King
Simba's Pride
Produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Walt Disney Animation Australia and released on October 27, 1998, the film centers on Simba and Nala's daughter Kiara, who falls in love with Kovu, a male rogue lion from a banished pride that was once loyal to Simba's evil uncle, Scar. Separated by Simba's prejudice against the banished pride and a vindictive plot planned by Kovu's mother, Kiara and Kovu struggle to unite their estranged prides and be together.
Most of the original cast returned to their roles from the first film, apart from Rowan Atkinson, who was replaced by Edward Hibbert as the voice of Zazu for this film and its prequel, The Lion King 1½. Madge Sinclair, the voice of Simba's mother Sarabi, died after the first film's release, and her character is subsequently written out of this sequel.
