she was so blinded by hate and so misguided she didn't understand that she wasn't only damaging herself but her son. She spent so much time looking at others spending time with their cubs, envying them, but she couldn't see that affection was waiting directly at her side. In him.

I love how she is looking down at Nuka when he is born, but only starts to hate him when Scar does. She would have been totally fine with him if Scar accepted him. She followed Scar so devotedly that even though she was angry at him, she accepted that Nuka was simply a failure because Scar thought so. Her hatred and anger blinded her from what he child really needed. She didn't even realize how much damage she was actually doing to Nuka til AFTER he died. :( ALSO: She sees that Nuka is upset when she has her new babies and starts to go after him. Her expression isn't angry. I think she genuinely cares, but she got so caught up in what happened with her mate that she didn't think about it afterwards. She's literally consumed by her bitterness! AND: In the last few minutes of her life, she loses literally everything. Nuka, Vitani, Kovu, and her own pride. Only seconds before she dies does she figure out what she's been doing wrong all these years.

Dang this really humanizes her character—I love that it shows multiple sides to her, some we never got to see in canon

i love how the more hatred zira feels, the darker the background gets as it hit the darkest shade, it flipped back to white, realizing how she really was living her life based off of anger and hate just as she realized, she fell into the river had this been the original cut (zira's suicide) it wouldve made it chilling even more still, very good job

Ok 1. I absolutely love the way you draw lions 2. I love how Zira’s like “oh yeah that my hubby” and the other lions are just like “god no why please stop.”

Poor Little rat nuka

3:23 Her cubs "Go mommy, go!" The rest of the pride "...help..."

I like the idea of Scar being Nuka's father. That would explain why he would be jealous of Kovu because Nuka WAS Scar's son but not Kovu

01:21 Lionesses: Oh god please HELP us. Sarabi: my dear mufasa my beloved simba why did you have to go :( Zira: Laughs in Ah yes thats my hubby

Wow this and “touch tone telephone” were really cool glimpses to see how you interpret the story, motivations and heartaches of female villains!

This is what I consider cannon for Zira it makes sense why she loved scar so much

This animatic is better than the Live Action Lion King Because it makes sense

I like how at the near end the background ( or atmosphere) gets darker symbolizing the turning point where Zira was finally losing it. She lost two sons, she was loyal to someone who never loved her in return, her youngest who was supposed to be her pride and joy betrayed her. The animatic gives off the amount of rage and hatred Zira truly has for the world. It is only until the end that she finally lets go of all that anger in a split second, but a split second too late. She is the only character I will ever like from any of the Lion King movies or spin offs.

This song is also used for Mapleshade. The same song for two amazing female cat villains. I love it.

I love this so much!!!! I never really thought much about tlk2 mainly cuz my mother took the liberty to name me after Simba's daughter. But I love how you interpreted Zira!!!

0:01 One second in and already and we already got a piece of art right here. I mean look at that lion. Perfect.

3:19 I love how everyone is just in shock and in surprise,but then u see Zira’s son and he’s like,”Well, he deserved it ,no?” 😂

Ahh u added the part where she kills kopa I always thought that was a cool fanon thing that people made

0:00 Ah yes, such a realistic lion on the pride rock.
