My thoughts exactly xD

This question was answered rather fast. Or 'opinion' is that's what you want.
Simba's actions were common and intelligent parent decisions. To not worry and want to protect your child makes a BAD parent.
He had a right to worry about who she was getting involved with too, considering where Kovu hails from.
To be overprotective... he probably would've killed Kovu as soon as he had the chance. Or something of the like.

Same here, lol. Same thing with Balto. Both of them were brave, courageous characters when they were in their prime but when it came to being parents they turned into over-protective, worried about every little thing, characters.

Now, I'm not trying to say that they didn't care about their kids at all, but they could have acted a bit like their old selves just for the sake of keeping the characters somewhat to the way they used to be.

He's a father, its what they do XD
