Better half of the lion king?

[Draakc from State Farm]

The first half and second half feel like completely different movies so that begs the question which one's better ?

Yeah...they really do, come to think of it. Right after Simba matures the tone changes dramatically. Enough that they managed to make a whole film in the middle. I haven't seen TLK 1½, so I wonder if it smooths over the abrupt tonal shift.

The original movie is a classic but I enjoyed Simba's Pride. Kovu is probably the only feral style animal character I actually find kinda sexy, haha. The new characters it introduced are all pretty interesting. I liked Nuka a lot (even though his VA is a literal Dick.)

First half had all the better songs. Last half revolved around him overcoming grief and assuming responsibility over the pride.
