She believes in Simba, and doesn’t understand why he wouldn’t want to fight for his right to rule. [27] The New York Times' Janet Maslin cited the film's lack of a strong heroine among its weaknesses, dismissing Nala and Simba's interaction throughout "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" as "obligatory" and "gratuitous". Nala proudly waves the flag of her kingdom, and hunts ferociously to keep them from starving. "[24], A straight woman character, Kelly described Nala as a sensible and nurturing yet authoritative character,[13] while Amber Leab of Bitch Flicks described her as strong, independent and intelligent. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub's arrival. There’s not enough food to go around under Scar’s regime, and the hyenas who help Scar stay in power get first dibs on all the fresh kills. [49] At the end of the film, Nala gains Kovu as her son-in-law after he marries Kiara. "[37] New York's David Denbey dismissed Nala's athleticism as nothing more than Disney's attempt to "disguise [the film's] essential boss-daddy ethos. Young Nala's speaking voice is provided by actress Niketa Calame, while singers Laura Williams and Sally Dworsky provide the singing voices of young and adult Nala respectively. "[64] Jeremy Gerard of Variety commended Kelly for voicing the character "beautifully". The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba's exile. The following day, however, Nala is devastated to learn from Scar that both Simba and Mufasa have perished during a wildebeest stampede. Now that the stakes are raised, the flame is reignited. Then one day Simba disappeared, presumed to be dead, and the kingdom sank into a state of wretchedness. [13] After attending a series of callbacks, during which Kelly returned to Disney several times to re-read the character's lines, Kelly was selected as one of two finalists. Simba is lucky to have a friend like her. [16], When asked by Disney if she was interested in reprising her role as Nala in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, Kelly immediately accepted, joking, "Sure, you wanna do a third, fourth, fifth? [16] At one point, the producers wanted the song to be a comical duet performed by supporting characters Timon and Pumbaa,[4][19] despite the fact that John had originally composed the song with Nala and Simba in mind. [4], Because The Lion King was originally conceived as a much more mature and adult-oriented film, Nala was intended to have been banished from the Pride Lands as punishment for rejecting Scar's romantic advances. In the original film, the adult Nala is voiced by American actress Moira Kelly. As cubs, the two were nearly inseparable.

[46] Unlike Ophelia, Nala does not succumb to insanity, nor does she eventually die. [53] Although a fan of the Lion King franchise, Union avoided watching previous Lion King films in preparation for the role because she wanted to "put [her] own stamp" on the character. By the end of season 3, Nala also gains Rani as her daughter-in-law after she marries Kion, who is becoming the king of the Tree of Life and retired as the leader of the Lion Guard. Ella Ceron of Thought Catalog observed that "At [Simba's] return, she's not exactly the friendliest little kitten, either ... but is willing to overlook her own hurt ego in the spirit of their friendship.
