Nope. I don't think Kopa ever really existed. I just think that it was
Kiara in the original animation. They just didn't decide on the gender
and name her Kiara until the Lion King 2.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is Kopa!!

yes okay, i get ytour point, but all im saying is that, they
made SNA because people like us were realiseing thatKiara
looked niothing like the cub at the end. so they made SNA so
it made sence.

I can't help but feel that fans are forcing the Kopa piece
into the TLK jigsaw. I'd have to say, OFFICIALLY, what
Disney's take on this is; KOPA NEVER EXISTED IN THE MOVIE
UNIVERSE. Sure you can theorize, make up fanfictions, but if
you are asking if officially Disney really intended the cub
at the end of the movie to be someone other than the cub in
Simba's Pride, the answer is NO. Simba's Pride has plot
holes because it is a SEQUEL. You can have as much fun as
you want with Kopa theories, I love Kopa dearly myself, but
there is no OFFICIAL underlying answer for what became of
him, or if he even existed. The TLK6NA books were not
produced by the same people who made the movie.

On that I agree. I really think that it would have been
better if Lion King 1 1/2 had been set in between Lion King
1 and 2.

I still think that Disney expects the fans to believe that
The cub at the end of Lion King 1 is Kiara.

yes, it was because there eyes look totally different and he
looked abit scared wheres as kiara did not look abit scared,
and she loked youinger. it was definatley Kopa.

Maybe thats why they made lk6na cos the cub didnt look like
Kiara, so there is a big gap imbetween 6na and lk2
