Hollow | TLK2 Zira Animatic
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.พ. 2020
- YAYYY... I've been saying for ages I wanted to do something with Zira. I actually wrote a script for this originally as a MAP, but I'm not really interested in running multi animator projects right now, so I yoinked it cuz I thought it was still really neat and just did the darn thing myself as a standalone animatic project!
Okay, first up, YEAH, I TOTALLY took a lot of liberties with the plot. I know like, Kopa is non-canon, and like, i think canonically nuka and vitani are from the same litter? but like, as a kid i DEFINITELY assumed vitani was kovu's age, so I'm going with that because I prefer it. There's a LOT here thats maaayyybe not super canon compliant, but hey! tlk2 was kind of weird with the lore. let's just run with it lol. I wanted to make a story all about Zira, I did my best with what I had.

Draikinator this comment says it’s 3 days old for me um LmAO
Rowanfeather probably because this video was unlisted and they posted the comment before they uploaded lol
God I wish I knew people enough to host this as a map... ;-;
I’d love to see u do more amazing Lion King stuff like this
she was so blinded by hate and so misguided she didn't understand that she wasn't only damaging herself but her son. She spent so much time looking at others spending time with their cubs, envying them, but she couldn't see that affection was waiting directly at her side. In him.
You right but I agree with the comment above, ur user is hilarious
Damn bro that hit different
*basically a lion version of maple shade ngl*
Exactly. But she did love her cubs, she did love Nuka, although she didn’t show it. In the end when Nuka died you can really see how much she actually cared.
Why do I always seem to find the most inspiring/thought provoking comments from people with the funniest usernames and/or pfps
I love how she is looking down at Nuka when he is born, but only starts to hate him when Scar does. She would have been totally fine with him if Scar accepted him. She followed Scar so devotedly that even though she was angry at him, she accepted that Nuka was simply a failure because Scar thought so. Her hatred and anger blinded her from what he child really needed. She didn't even realize how much damage she was actually doing to Nuka til AFTER he died. :(
ALSO: She sees that Nuka is upset when she has her new babies and starts to go after him. Her expression isn't angry. I think she genuinely cares, but she got so caught up in what happened with her mate that she didn't think about it afterwards. She's literally consumed by her bitterness!
AND: In the last few minutes of her life, she loses literally everything. Nuka, Vitani, Kovu, and her own pride. Only seconds before she dies does she figure out what she's been doing wrong all these years.
mom is that you? weres dad? are you guys coming back with the milk yet?
@@Calka0 No. I've left your father for another man. Don't speak to me or of this ever again.
@@YourMom-qk9pv Mom why'd you leave dad? Why didn't you take us with you? :[
@@connorinyourrmom Because you were NEVER meant to be here in the first place! Besides, dad isn't even your real father!
And Nuka wanted to please his mother so badly to the point where he got himself killed for her I feel bad for him all he wanted was his mother's love and protection
Dang this really humanizes her character-I love that it shows multiple sides to her, some we never got to see in canon
You mean lionize?
*I hate myself lol*
i love how the more hatred zira feels, the darker the background gets
as it hit the darkest shade, it flipped back to white, realizing how she really was living her life based off of anger and hate
just as she realized, she fell into the river
had this been the original cut (zira's suicide) it wouldve made it chilling even more
still, very good job
God I wish they hadn't cut that like, I understand why they did, it was SO dark, but also SO powerful like it's just a really powerful scene, her choosing to die rather than allow her enemy to help her- choosing death over releasing her hate. It's a powerful sentiment. I really wanted to show her life becoming darker and more claustrophobic as she allowed her hatred and her bitterness to consume her, until it was too dark to see clearly
I don't think she died tho as she grabbed a log that she could easily pull herself up and out of the water. But that's just a theory.
@@bermuthos_sea Doubt it, not hating on your opinion but it wasnt just some river it was a flood. Floods can be extremly strong at times which is why alot of people die from them since like a said its very strong and it can be difficult for someone to get to the surface for air when the water is far to powerful
Im sure she tried to get back up to the surface but the current might have been too strong for her to handle..
Hol up she was originally going to kill herself?
@@lynxz-studios yeep
I like the idea of Scar being Nuka's father. That would explain why he would be jealous of Kovu because Nuka WAS Scar's son but not Kovu
Sageripple 3248 I think Nuka said it indirectly?
It's true It mentioned in movie Will you 1st mean Nuka "Scar wasn't even his father... he just took him in" implies that Scar is Nuka's father and that Nuka is jealous because his father chose another cub over his own son
Nuka is Scar’s legitimate child; It is canon
I always thought Scar was Nuka's father. He isn't ?
Poor Little rat nuka
Rat 😂
*r a t*
Cruel but true
Ok
1. I absolutely love the way you draw lions
2. I love how Zira’s like “oh yeah that my hubby” and the other lions are just like “god no why please stop.”
Her: that is the man I married, and I love him for it
i am the 666th like i am know officially satan and none of you can stop my accent to god hood
01:21
Lionesses: Oh god please HELP us.
Sarabi: my dear mufasa my beloved simba why did you have to go :(
Zira: *Laughs in Ah yes thats my hubby*
😭
3:23
Her cubs "Go mommy, go!"
The rest of the pride "...help..."
Lol
Lol
XD
XD
Lol so right
This is what I consider cannon for Zira it makes sense why she loved scar so much
2:04 she killed kopa 😭😭😭😭
Wow this and “touch tone telephone” were really cool glimpses to see how you interpret the story, motivations and heartaches of female villains!
I know I have a type lol, but I just think they're Neat
Draikinator I think female villains are really cool and fascinating in general because there are a lot more male villains out there than females, so when the villain’s a girl it peeks my interest.
Hi
Sandra Walker hoi
Bff
I like how at the near end the background ( or atmosphere) gets darker symbolizing the turning point where Zira was finally losing it. She lost two sons, she was loyal to someone who never loved her in return, her youngest who was supposed to be her pride and joy betrayed her. The animatic gives off the amount of rage and hatred Zira truly has for the world. It is only until the end that she finally lets go of all that anger in a split second, but a split second too late. She is the only character I will ever like from any of the Lion King movies or spin offs.
This animatic is better than the Live Action Lion King
*Because it makes sense*
the lion king remake is like a fever dream, it happens and then youre convinced its not real. and thats right. in my world, tlk remake never happened.
I actually liked the film
I mean... In the live action they at least fixed hyenas, since in real life females are bigger and stronger than males, they're the leaders, not males. In original they just... were there.
And it kinda made more sense that they turned against Scar, since in original they seemsed like old friends and it was just kinda weird that they killed him because he said one bad sentence about them...
The live action one did make sense, it just wasn’t good and I agree with u, this one is better
Gersparsy YES
This song is also used for Mapleshade.
The same song for two amazing female cat villains. I love it.
Mapleshade and Zira would be besties
3:19 I love how everyone is just in shock and in surprise,but then u see Zira’s son and he’s like,”Well, he deserved it ,no?” 😂
0:00
Ah yes, such a realistic lion on the pride rock.
Wish could draw like that, right there, perfect art
0:01 One second in and already and we already got a piece of art right here. I mean look at that lion. Perfect.
You just explained the whole lion king even Mufasa and Scar’s father death
I love this so much!!!! I never really thought much about tlk2 mainly cuz my mother took the liberty to name me after Simba's daughter. But I love how you interpreted Zira!!!
Omg I know you mentioned once you had the same name but she actually named you AFTER the character? That's amazing
@@Draikinator yeah! I'm the only one in my family to have a name after a fictional character
@@imnotrealanym0re oh my god the unbelivable validity. Amazing
That’s so cool and definitely something I’d do.
Ahh u added the part where she kills kopa I always thought that was a cool fanon thing that people made
tbh noone knows anymore
THE WHOLE PRIDES FACE WHEN ZIRA KILLED THAT LION LOL 😂😂😂

@@jada_draws154y’all got me dead 😭
Love this!!! And also you’re right, Kovu and Vitani are the same age (at least I’m sure since they’re both cubs in the beginning of TKL2 and Nuka’s a teen)
Vitani is a bit older but they’re about the same age
It’s so nice seeing her story explored more, especially with scar, in the films the pair never show emotion but hatred and anger and you really expressed them well!
There is not enough TLK content on youtube and i LOVE this.
Am I the only one who kinda head cannons that Zira changed her name (if you look at her wiki it says her name means hate) I think originally she had a name that was much more positive or loving in meaning but after being struck with grief and having her mate (who she adored and was loyal to above everything) killed she changed her name to Zira, completely abandoning her roots to lead a rebellion of lionesses to avenge scar, her mate, the one they saw as a leader, as THE true king.
It's a good parrallel to scar changing his name, too
@@Draikinator oh yea! that's right I read somewhere that according to a book (I think) his name was originally something else. Taka was it? I just now realized! that is a cool parallel
@@inkypawprintstudio3270 yeah! It's not canon but like, is the lion guard canon lol? It's sort of canon if you decide it is I think. But even then, his name probably wasn't originally scar since... He probably wasn't born with a scar lmao
@@Draikinator Yea I get that XD anyway love the animatic and your art style it's amazing ^^ keep up the awesome work, Your lion king works really speak to me I love the lion king movies so much!
@@inkypawprintstudio3270 thank you!!! I'm glad you like it lol I was surprised so many people were excited about a video based on the villain from a twenty year old direct to video Disney sequel lol
1:44 lookit dat cute lil potato face 🥰
Holy heck I’ve never seen this kinda theory before and along with the animatic. I think this has to be the best I’ve ever seen!!!!
I love Zira.
Really cool, the personnal touch. We don't know if Zira really hate Mufasa or even if she knows what Scar did to him.
But, that's nice anyway !
I feel bad for Zira. Her father treated her so badly and killed her mom.
I absolutly love this! TLK2 has been my all time favourite movie since I was very little and ive always loved zira! Its really nice to see somthing from her perspective this is amazing and you did a wonderful job!!
Zira reminds me of a character name purple haze of Shen Shixi's book«Garnett dream».Their experiences are somewhat similar.
Haven’t seen Lion King in AGES yet I still remember basically everything in Lion King 2. Bruh, flashbacks anyone?
Well done video! 😄👍🏻
Zira: *Is Scar's wife*
Simba as the new King: This should end well!!
Zira is underrated
as a HUGE Zira fan i have to say this
Scar and zira are my favorite ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I always felt bad for Nuka! Poor babiee he was so neglected, and he just wanted to make his mother proud! Not to mention when he died trying to impress her!
This is so good I love the expressions they make in your is gotten a lot better!
MY FRIEND LOVES ZIRA :OOOOOO AND I LOVE ZIRA OML ZIRA TIME IM DEADDDD
Ohhh I love this!!! I’ve been wanting to make a PMV to this song for a while, so cool to see this!!!
I love what you did with the shading! I mean the way it was white at the begining and then slowly got darker, then the flash to white again at the end.
2:50 - 3:18 this gives me Mapleshade vibes 😂😂😂
Daniel Baciu Nice to see a fellow fan of Warriors Cats 😸
I love how the animatic just gradually gets darker~ Nice work, once again!
This is such a beautiful animatic! I love your style and the song is perfect for this character!
As soon as I saw the black mane, I screamed: “SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR”
this is gorgeous; absolutely love the detail where it starts getting darker towards the end, then all of a sudden it becomes bright again. really adds a nice touch to it.
I just wanna say..
I love this, for a reason called I love how the ending credits foreshadow Ziras death! It’s all just so amazing in other ways besides that, 10/10 for you bud uwu
HOLY this was really amazing! I love love love your take on the interlude between TLK1 and TLK2! Smashing job with this animatic🤟🤟
have more depth to Zira than I thought possible!
I honestly love the song Hollow and this animatoc is just great aaaaa-
You should do Nuka next! I love him and want to get in more depth with his point of view to this and how he felt growing up! :)
My thoughts exactly!!💚💚💚💚💚💚
this is amazing... i love that it’s darkening the deeper zira gets into her hatred and in her last moments it snaps back to light as it becomes clear to her how blind she was to hate and perhaps regret for what she did. i feel so bad for nuka :(
Ack this is so good I love it!! You should have made it a map I could just imagine it but I understand nobody is always up for hosting a map call. It’s still really good! I love the song you introduced me to its now in my playlists!
Someone else actually is hosting a map for it!
I used to host a bunch of maps but it has been good to take a break. And I'm really excited to see this one finished!
@@Draikinator well I’m excited for that!!
omg was awesome! your AMV is super well done I wait to see it finished ^^
wow!!! this is so cool! i love seeing different interpretations of zira!!
0:48 this face is so cute
Yes :3
FINALY ! UHHHUUU !
MY GOOODDD YOU DRAW KOPAAAAA >>>>3333
Your video was recommended to me by TH-cam and I'm so glad it was I love this and your art style and the story behind this too! Love this work it's so amazing
amazing work ahhhh I have no words to describe this!!! it's so emotional and pulls you in with every brushstroke, every note!!!
omg this looks so incredible! zira is my fave character from TLK and im so happy you made this animatic! this song also really suits her
By seeing this incredible animatic I myself am so inspried to do my own Storyboard. Thank you for showing us this:D
Absolutely amazing video! I loved every bit of it. I always enjoy your videos.
The ending of this gives me so many goosebumps stg 👀👌 this is SO well done
3:11 That's honestly me when someone touches my snack stash
Im low-key wondering if there could be an au where Scar saw the outcome of Kovus future and chose him over his own son to just create peace, being dead can make you think that if you could change one thing what would it be? I really think it would be interesting for Scar to just genuinely be nice at least once in the afterlife, or if Scar picked Kovu at birth maybe a past king or even his mothers spirit told him that Kovu would be the best option...
3:12
Me when my brother wakes me up in the morning.
This is... So amazing... I could see the lion gaurd/ lion king storyline kind of it was honestly just amazing..
This is so amazing! Everything was captured wonderfully, especially Zira's rage over time!
OMG THIS IS AMAZING AAAAAAAAAA. One if the best TLK fan made things I've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!
This is amazing, and I feel like there needs to be more fan animations in this fandom, so thank you!
Wow this is incredible well directed!! I was like THIS NEEDS TO BE FULL ANIMATED MAP!! Because, this story makes so much sense! I love the camer angles, and you have some great director talent!! I dream this will be map that I could join one day!! Awesome work!! ;3;
I've never ever so liked Nuka before, but, thanks to you, I keep going to like him!
This is so beautiful
This is beautiful
THAT'S WAS SO GOOOOD !
I love how you ended this with the flowing river where Zira was last seen *DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN*
To those who don't know why: Zira and the Outland lions attacked the Pridelands and ended up with Kiara and Kovu (totally butchered those names) stopped their parents from fighting. I forgot how Zira ended up hanging on to the cliff edge but Kiara rushed to her and offered her help. Zira didn't take it and let go of the cliff edge and fell into the river *D E D*
i cant stop watching this video. its so freaking good it catched me im so impressed you draw them so good!!! i missed this fandom, i wad part of it in 2019(? it has a really deep lore
I feel like I understand so much more about Zira now! This animatic is crazy good!
1:58 she doesn't even seem upset seeing Scar get killed...maybe she knew it was hopeless to try and save him or maybe she felt so broken after Nuka was rejected by him and how he didn't really seem to care for Zira after he became king (letting all the power get to him, he didn't even seem happy when she was pregnant again unlike the first time...)
I liked the idea that in the original story board zira kills herself and says no like if you watch that deleted scene its so creepy how she says it
Love how in some scenes her big eyes make her look so adorble even when training Kovu to kill. It really just shows that she is a beautiful lioness who went a dark path and she was not as old as we all thought
This animatic fully embodies the reason I adore the story implications of lion king 2, and you’ve brought them all to life. Well done!! :)
Oh I love this! The animation was great and I just ADORE TLK
I've always thought of Kovu and Vitani being in the same litter. They're the same size, Vitani never gets upset at Kovu being loved more than Nuka, etc.
3:33 aww Zira being a sentimental mommy
HOW U KNOW ZIRA BUT NOT NUKA 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It's so beautiful!!!! Literly chills!
Oh my gosh! This is so, good!
I absolutely adore this its so creative and wonderful!
I should be homework, but I'm here, watching this amazing video!
This is one of your best videos omg
I have watched this so many times. congratulations
Nate it's so incredible!
Wow holy crap had to watch it a couple of times.. MAN this is amazing!
I love tlk content! It’s one of my favourite fictional universes!
I love this so much!💓💓💕💕
I love your new content even after what happened. Have a nice day Nate ❤
This was so well done in every aspect, I specially love the realistic character developement, like Zira's relationship with Nuka...
I do tip my hat to you
I'm seeing a lot of stuff of people really loving Zira recently and I kinda love it
(Shame what lion guard did to her character)
I just ignore the lion guard thing, I would kinda rather if she tried to manipulate Kion into thinking his dads evil instead of the whole “HyEnA bAd lIoN gOoD” thing, like I get its a childrens show but that was just a shallow as hell plotpoint
This is amazing! I love zira, and I love the drawings/animation
Turned out so Good :3
