[edit] Mohatu, Ahadi,

Well, if Kopa is in there [based on the books], but isn't Simba also Mohatu's great grandson? Simba would also be Ahadi's and Uru (The Lion King)'s grandson. --71.168.231.215 20:16, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Languages

I'm going to assume that bit about Bantu and Swahili isn't redundant, Swahili's a Bantu language? Anyway, I noticed that his appearances in Timon and Pumbaa aren't specifically listed here, in terms of who voiced him. It sounded like Cam Clarke, though.

Oh, and wouldn't it make more sense to refer to the short-maned Simba as 'adolescent' rather than 'teenage' since he's probably not yet a year old?

[edit] Kopa

It's a disputed subject amongst fans, but I've edited this article *slightly* to include minor references to Kopa. These include listing him as offspring in the introduction and naming him as he cub presented at the fist film. I'm not going to argue about retconns and fan theories and such, but it's clear that presentations at the end of The Lion and the opening of Simba's pride are different occasions, and if I remember correctly the director's have stated once of twice that the cub be presented in the finale of the first film is in fact Kopa. This might be artistic liberty but who am I to analyze that. Perhaps if there was some small explanation of Kopa's place in the TLK continuity things might be less confusing.

At any rate, Kopa is an important part of the continuity and should, I believe, be mentioned in this article. After all Simba fathered him. I Just Kissed Al Pacino august 14 2007

[edit] ?

"Simba also appears at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts as a meetable character." Really? I have never found anything that confirms this. The only time I have seen him is as a robot up on a float. (Mchelada (talk) 02:45, 5 December 2007 (UTC))

Yeah, I've never seen Simba walking around. He isn't there —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.108.149.138 (talk) 02:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Other uses

I think Simba should be a disambiguation page, and this article should be moved to Simba (The Lion King) or similar. Failing that, there should be at least a mention of other uses of the word in this article - I got to this page looking for the rebels who captured Stanleyville in 1964 during the Congo Crisis.

Er, OK - there is a Simba (disambiguation) page. I've added a link to it in the article. Opera hat (talk) 16:41, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
