Return To Pride Rock: Songs Inspired By Disney's The Lion King II - Simba's Pride [Soundtrack]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
To answer your question: no, there's no "Hakuna Matata" here. (Did you really expect one to accompany this straight-to-video sequel?) But that's alright. Ladysmith Black Mambozo (on two tracks), Angelique Kidjo (who contributes the album's best original song, "We Are One"), and a duet between Kenny Lattimore and Heather Headley account for the starpower here, and all are strong. But the real essence of this collection is the African-flavored pop of tracks like "I Want to See the Moon," on which both your children and yourself might be introduced to some great new sounds. (There's a great, if slower than you'll be accustomed to, version of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," too.) As both a soundtrack and an introduction to an entire sound, Simba's Favorites is a success. --Randy Silver

4 out of 5 stars One of my favourite soundtrack, but why there was no score of the movie?.......2006-03-31

When I watched the movie, I found that the music in it was very enchanted, every song in this movie was so fit for every plot, especially the songs "We Are One" "One of Us" and "Love Will Find A Way". There're also some beautiful songs which weren't from the movie, they felt like African music. I love "Song for the Children" and "She Believes in You". The scores of the movie were wonderful too, especilly which came up when Kovu and Kiara escaped from the river full of crocodiles. But I was very, very, very pity that there was no score in this soundtrack! Why? The soundtrack of "Bambi-2" was like this, only a little scores in it! Can Disney do better in the soundtracks?

5 out of 5 stars Lion King 2 Rocks! I now found the cd!!!!.......2004-03-13

I've never been much of a fan of the Lion King until I saw it on Broadway. Ever since then I watch the movies all the time. It is my Favourite movie and I really love it. I've been looking for this cd since October 2004. So imagine when I found it here. I was in tears!!! I have:
original #1
LK 1 1/2
#1 special edition
Orig. 1997 Broadway
I'll have to buy this one
Lion King is the best EVER! My fave songs on this cd are We are One and He lives in you. I have about 5-? fave songs in all from LK!!

5 out of 5 stars So moving and so cool!.......2004-01-29

I LOVE the songs from Simba's Pride! Even though I don't own the CD, I love the songs. My favourite one has got to be We Are One. I love it. it is really moving. I made up my own version of it! when I was writing a fanfiction, with new characters, the mother, Sarsha, was explaining to her son, named after the great king Mohatu that he doesn't have to change the way he is to be king, he can be himself. this is how it goes.

As You go through life
You'll see
There is so much
That we don't understand
And the only thinng we know
Is things don't always go
The way we planned

But you'll see everday
That we'll never turn away
When it seems all your dreams come undone
We wil stand by your side filled with hope and filled with pride
We are one

Can I still just be me
Even though I'm the king
Do I have to change?
Do I have to change my ways
What would my friends say
Would I still be the same?

You can still just be you
WE are one just us two
You don't have to change a thing
The best of kings stay how they are
But deep inside your heart
You will find when you see
We are one

We are one you and I
We are like the earth an dsky
One family under the sun
All the wisdom you lead
All the corage that you need
You will find when you see
We are one

like it? I didn't at first. but now i do. I love the lion king movies so much it still makes me cry when i watch it... and the thing that makes me like them so much are the songs, but fave will always be We are One, nobody can ever meak a better song then that. never.

5 out of 5 stars A CD For Children And Adults Of All Ages!.......2000-03-01

A while back my friend told me about this CD. I wasn't too intrested because I don't like listening to most childrens tapes unless I'm going to enjoy listening to them on long rides in the car. She popped her tape in and and I absolutely LOVED the songs! They are intended for children but I've found adults love to listen to them too! The songs don't have a fast beat to them nor a slow beat pretty much in-between. Definitely a road trip winner! BUY IT! You won't regret it! :)

4 out of 5 stars I am a HUGE Simba's Pride fan and this soundtrack ROCKS!.......1999-07-26

Really cool songs, although "My Lullaby" and "One of Us" could've used more work. I LOVE "Love Will Find A Way" and "We Are One"! Liz Callaway has such a great voice! I agree with the person who said they wished "Warthog Rhapsody" was on this CD. (They called it "Warthog Philosophy" but it's really called "Warthog Rhapsody".) Great CD, you'll love it! Go and buy it right now!
