Decided to make a masterpost of English TLK voice actors* who can sing/carry a tune but never sang as their characters in canon:
*Some characters had speaking voices and singing voices in each of the same respective productions. This is about their main speaking voice actors.
(Post is subject to updates if more footage is found)
UPDATE 6/14/25: Footage found for Ma Tembo, Badili, Mjomba, Surak, and Chuluun's voice actors; Footage found for Simba's TLG voice actor. Thank you to HoraceTheBadger for finding footage for Ma Tembo.
UPDATE 10/27/25: On the 27th Anniversary of TLK 2, it was confirmed through production notes of the film that Meredith Scott Lynn did indeed voice Adult Vitani; Three more videos of Meredith Scott Lynn singing have been found.
🏳️🌈 for kiburi :3 (and tamka and nduli if you wanna include them too)
next question! /SILLY
okay but in all seriousness; kiburi isss maybe nonbinary? I can honestly see him being genderqueer too tbh but I love your transmasc hc of him too <3. I also see him as pansexual! as for tamka.. honestly see him as a straight ally sorry tamka fans 😔 idk abt nduli :’) sorry buddy /gen.
kiburi is literally the definition of...
🏳️🌈?
I JUST realized Makuu and Kiburi had completely different reactions to seeing Scar for the first time
First there’s Kiburi who, unsurprisingly, looked downright terrified at first. So much so, he actually showed an emotion other than annoyance lmao
And then there’s Makuu
It’s so brief cuz the creators wanted to show everyone’s reactions but he looks kinda…annoyed? He just glares at him and nothing else, almost like seeing an evil ghost is an inconvenience
Honestly, this is making me think of how Ucheshi would react to Scar. I feel like it’d also be the opposite of her brother. I kinda like to imagine Scar would want to recruit her at first upon hearing how she outsmarts the rest of his army in her hc episode, but when he meets her face-to-face he straight up regrets it lmao.
No bc she’d piss him off the minute he appears in front of her. He dramatically appears like “Welcome, Ucheshi~” AND HER FIRST RESPONSE IS
“….Oh. That’s what you guys are scared of?”
“Is there a problem?”
“Oh no, not at all! I just thought you’d be a little more…intimidating? You know, like the old king, Mufasa! Oh, I’d LOVE to meet his ghost someday! Even saying his name is kind of intimidating.”
And meanwhile, the rest of Scar’s army is like :0 while Kiburi looks like he wants to die 😭
SAM SAM! I MUST HAVE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE CROCODILE CHARACTERS IN TLG AND ANY HEADCANONS YOU MIGHT HAVE ON THEM/nf/np
HAHA HI NIKKI!! I love the crocs!!!
Makuu has my favorite character arc of any tlg character, and I love watching him grow throughout the show!
This was my original human design sketch of him that I never posted!! Makuu going from a brash young leader who would only fight for the crocodiles to someone willing to train other Pridelanders to protect their home?? Goodness I love him so much. Total trans guy energy too.
Hahahaaaaah I adore Kiburi cuz he truly is a slimey bitch. Like he betrayed Makuu, used a mashindano as a distraction for an assassination attempt, then left the float with a bunch of crocs. They left and went to the OUTLANDS too. Like they hung around in the worst place POSSIBLE so I can only imagine that they thought they might have a chance at either rejoining Makuu’s float or taking over their watering holes. If not that then why didn’t they head to the backlands? Why not take over Dhahabu’s watering hole?? They stuck around just to fuck with everyone. Then to serve in Scar’s army with Ushari. And you KNOW they suffered under Scar’s rule.
Makuu is like. Top five tlg characters. I love him. Kiburi is probably top ten. Tamka and Nduli are sweet, and dense as rocks, but I think they're great. Not my favorites by any means, but they’re fun at least!
:)
Diversity win! The evil crocodile that started a mutiny is gay!
Betrayal
Ushari: Tonight, one of you will betray us. Kiburi: Is it me? Ushari: No, it’s not you. Goigoi: Is it me? Ushari: It’s not you either. Janja: Is it me? Ushari: ... Ushari: *mockingly* Is IT mE?
