Somewhat, there is. There is a profit fanfiction prequel story in the book series The Lion King: The Six New Adventures,specifically in its first part "A Tale of Two Brothers", which tells of Mufasa and Scar's youth. But that is really only profit fanfiction and has been denied by the film's makers on the commentary track of the Laserdisc release in 1995 and the DVD release in 2003. Also, some events in The Lion King 1½ is considered a prequel as it details Timon's origins and how Timon and Pumbaa met each other which takes place before the original film.

Was any of ''The Lion King'' movie released after part 2?

Yes, The Lion King 1½: Hakuna Matata. Its international release is titled The Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata, but hence most officially it's not a 3. It's more of a Timon & Pumbaa movie and any way you want to look at it, it's most definitely a parody and not meant as a serious prequel. That's currently the only Lion King movie released after The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. And there has been no official announcements of any new Lion King movie being even in production, much less released.


Why did they call the movie''The Lion King'' lion king?

The 2004 straight-to-DVD movie, The Lion King 1½ was released internationally under the title The Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata. There was no specific reason as to 'why' the title was changed, it was simply released under a different title despite having nothing to do with advancing the story from the first two films.

The Lion King, Lion King 2 Simba's Pride, Lion King 1 1/2

Will there be a Lion King 5?

No. There isn't a third movie in the Lion King story, so there naturally can't be a fourth movie in the series.The release that was titled The Lion King 3 was simply the international title of the direct-to-video feature, The Lion King 1½ from 2004, so while it is technically a third movie it does not in any way advance the story from The Lion King one & two.
