I recently found out from this episode of the Rosie ‘O Donnel show that Kathleen Turner was supposed to voice and sing as Zira in The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride.

And now I cannot unhear Zira singing My Lullaby in Jessica Rabbit’s voice:

#The lion king 2 Simba’s pride #The lion king 2 #the lion king ii: simba's pride #The lion king zira #voice actors #VA #The episode aired in 1996 when Simba’s Pride was in still production which is why Kovu is referred to as “Scar’s son.”#Oh and in the VHS workprint of TLK 2 featuring deleted scenes Zira has a completely different singing voice in the movie.#I lowkey wonder if Turner became a musical understudy for Suzan once the latter got the role only for Suzan to sing and voice act #But this was so crazy to realize at 2am #We don’t talk enough about the insanity of the voice-acting BTS of Simba’s Pride #Eric Matthew’s ̶b̶o̶y̶f̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶ bestie from Boy Meets World gets a lion redo.#Nuka’s VA becomes a convicted felon and joins the cast of a Disney Jr. series #Vitani’s VA has a Schrodinger’s effect of both/either/neither Meredith Lynn or Jennifer Lien #(Also her possible latter VA…. becomes a felon too)#The witches from Hocus Pocus try getting in on Zira’s voice #The above mentioned Jessica Rabbit VA #Everything surrounding this movie’s history is 10X more investing than the movie itself.#Also Zazu’s wife was supposed to be voiced by Jane Leeves from Fraiser #It’s a small world isn’t it?#Jessica rabbit
