Why no Rowan Atkinson
Anyone know why he didn't come back for the sequel?
shareHe didn't think the character was important enough to play again-at least that's what I heard
I call movies that are considered 'bad' hated movies.
Zazu was a great character sure he didn't really add to the story after Mufasa had died suppose it was just one of those subtle things I didn't notice as a kid.
shareMore like he'd seen what had happened with other Disney sequels and didn't want any part of it.
shareThis was the second Disney sequel in history. How would he have known unless he had a time machine?
"Look! There's Gregory Peck's bicycle!"
The Rescuers 2 was done by the same division, and still pretty much flopped, Simba's Pride wasn't even done by the same division. it doesn't take an idiot to suspect it's going to be a flop, especially when it's not even going to be in the cinemas. Also, it wasn't the first DtV sequel, both the Aladdin sequels had come out years before.
shareAlso, Pocahontas 2: Journey to a New World (released October 4, 1998) beat The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride (released October 27, 1998) to the punch, by over two months.
