This character was the character who made Simba's Pride the great sequel it was. We all know Disney sequels aren't good. Most of them are total garbage (Bambi 2...) but they can be possible with a great character. Kovu was that character. He was strong, valiant, and mysterious. Strength is more than skin deep, as his heart is definitely strong enough to pull a complete 180. He is valiant for standing up to the king of the Pride Lands, as well as his mother. And a mystery, while is doesn't make a character, it is certainly enough to pull the audience into his mysterious aura. Kovu was a great character and should be seen as such. Not just another cute cub and not just a hot adult lion. No, he is more than that. He is a hero and my pick for the number one hero on my top 10 Disney heroes list.
