Is Kiara the cub at the end of the first film?


If yes her presentation at the end of the first film is totally different to the beginning of TLK2. But then again does that means she was presented before the pridelands twice? Once at the end of the first film and the beginning of the second film? Is there some continuity error? Also Kiara's appearance doesn't resemble the cub at the end of the first film. What do guys think?

I'd say yes, and the presentation at the beginning of SP was just the idiots responsible for it wanting to make their own mark.

The cub at the end of TLK is "Fluffy". There were no plans to continue the franchise, so they drew a Simba clone and left it at that. When SP was made, the creators stated that the cub at the end of TLK is indeed Kiara.

Although, some people continue to argue that the 1st presentation was Kopa, who appeared in the "Lion King: 6 new adventures" comics. However, the TLK2 team weren't aware of them.

Presumably, they wanted to start Simba's pride the same way as TLK, so they "re-did" the presentation. They should have made it more similar though to avoid confusion. She wasn't presented twice though, just creative licence.

With "The Lion Guard", it could be argued that maybe the 1st presentation was Kion's... Unlikely, but possible.
