KH2 Sora's lion form.

[NO_HEART_XIII 312]

Everyone knows that when you go to the Pride Lands in KH2, Sora takes on the form of a lion, to maintain the world order & all that jazz. Well, I was thinking: Don't you think he looks a bit small? He looks like a lion cub, he looks about the same size as Simba in the first movie. Sora is 15, so I just found it odd that he looks like a baby lion. This thought just randomly came to me as I was looking at lion Sora & I was bored, so I decided to make a thread. Do you think Sora looks a bit young in his lion form? Idk how old Simba is, but I feel like Sora should be around the same size, maybe a bit smaller, but definitely not a cub.

I think that's the point. They wanted Sora to look like Simba when he was a cub.

Lion Sora rocks!! don't change him! he looks young, but the other option is Teenage Simba which from my memory from 1 and 1/2 looked a bit odd.

[Silent 824]

I never thought of that. Yea he does look small but i wouldn't want them to change it.

They needed a contrast between Sora and Simba.  A half-mane version of Sora just wasn't going to cut. And Sora couldn't be much bigger than Donald and Goofy's forms when Sora is a little shorter than Goofy normally.

My theory is that they wanted you to see the innocence in Sora's heart. When you see a baby child or animal, you automatically think: innocence. Because Sora basically has the innocence of a child in his heart. But it's just a weird theory that just came to me.

You might possibly be right. BTW, i like your theory.

Thanks. And I was just guessing. I just see how innocent Sora is (which is one of his best qualities) and figured that's why he's a lion cub. I was just rambling

That would make sense. Another thing I would say in my opinion is that it's SE logic.

I wouldn't want him changed either. I just feel like he looked small considering his actual age. Edited June 2, 2014 by NO_HEART_XIII

Same here. I felt the same way too.

Well if you consider that a lion can live until aprox. 20 years old, that means that a lion with 20 years would correspond to an adult person with 70 years old. Therefore, Sora is only 15 years old, that means in lion form he would only have about 1 to 2 years aprox. 

 

This means that Nomura actually followed the Zoology parameters on that. Just saying...

I never thought of it like that before. Thanks for saying that. I just thought it was SE logic.

Donald as a bird and Goofy as a turtle > Sora as a lion.

[Aile 273]

I think he looks extremely cute as a lion cub. If they decided to make him look a bit older, he would look less cute :c

[Kittenz 4,281]

That's how he is in Cat years. Meow

Well, this is a nice theory!

[Keyblade Master Xoncron 499]

You also have to remember that Lions have different livespans than we humans, so that may be how a lion looks when it is fifteen years old in lion years?

[Totaltarian67 7]

It's because of 2 things. 1. It's Disney they like cute things. 2. Sora is still pretty young.

[VeNate13 144]

He looks like a teenager cub so it works!

[FutureKeybearer 36]

That depends on how lions age

[Forever 3,550]

I wondered about that too..... I guess they figured making him a cub would fit better with the story. Besides, he was a cute little thing.

[liamaru 294]

hmmmm makes sense
