Zira is a negative character of the sequel "King Lion: Simba pride." The lioness from the Sprawle group became the leader in the clan, planning to overthrow the King Praid. However, the power of love and this time prevented insidious plans.History of character creation
The cartoon came out in 1998, becoming a logical continuation of the first part. It was the success of the "king of lion", it was a difficult task before the director Darrell Rooney - to show the world a decent development of the plot.
The main antagonist of the painting - the scar - dies in the final of the story. His place occupies a yaraya sequence - Lioness Zira. According to the director's statement, in the initial scenario, this heroine was planned as a friend of the Simba brother. However, such a version would have made it impossible to develop a romantic line between Kiara and Kovu, because in this case they would have come to each other relatives.
Therefore, in the midst of work on Sicvel, it was decided to reconsider the role of Zira and make it a ideological sequence of the former king. In connection with the changed concept, problems have arisen with the definition of kinship. Young Lionan became a chosen heir during the lifetime of the scar, but at the same time he was not his son. By the way, these questions remained unanswered. And the Cartoon creators decided not to give information about the real father.
It is also known that initially a cunning lioness planned to call Bianca, which means "fair". According to the tradition, the names in the cartoon reflected the essence and nature of the characters. Therefore, the authors of the project decided to follow the already established reception and turned to the Language of Swahili. So the name of Zira emerged - in the literal translation of "hatred".
The appearance of heroes is also largely predetermined by a characteristic character. If you look at the lioness from Praida - Sarabi, Nalo, Kiarau - everyone has smoothed shapes, expressive and kind eyes, warm gamut in the wool color.
Artists painted ziru, emphasizing her cruelty, alertness and danger. Therefore, in the appearance of the heroine there are dark colors, narrowed pupils and an angular figure. Thus, the avenge leader of the Clan of the Otchentsev became a worthy substitute for the main antagonist "King Lion" in 1992.
Helen Mirren and Bett Midler tried to the role of this character. Casting also chose the actress Susann Plecett. In the "Guardian Lev" Mother Kovu was voiced by Nika Fistherman.
