Did You Know In THE LION KING 2: SIMBA’S PRIDE…
There is a character that is noticeably not present throughout the entire movie. Simba’s mother, Sarabi, who survives the events of the first movie and was key to Simba’s uprising as King, does not appear and is not mentioned throughout the story at all. This was likely done out of respect for actress Madge Sinclair, who was the voice of Sarabi in the first movie. Sinclair unfortunately passed away one year after the release of the first Lion King movie.
