The Lion King: The Legend of Simba

The Lion King: The Legend of Simba is a TLK remake by PrinceBalto.

Premise
This is a PG-13 remake of Disney's 1994 classic The Lion King. While the main story is followed, a few differences, and new information revealed by The Lion Guard, such as the lion guard group and the Roar of the Elders, is incorporated. As well, Zira is brought into the story here and is Scar's mate, while Nuka is their son. Prior to the death of Mufasa, Simba and Nuka are seen communicating and sometimes even playing together. However, Scar is resentful of his son for having been born sickly, unlike the healthy Simba. Another difference is that while Simba is still found by Timon and Pumbaa, he is raised by a beautiful leopardess named Zara in the same jungle, growing up on meat instead of bugs. When Simba returns, she stays with him. Also present is Nala's father, here named Yeshua, who leaves to protect his daughter's life when Scar threatens to kill her.
