Nala the lion king 1994Who is Nala?

Nala is a key character in Disney’s The Lion King franchise, serving as Simba’s childhood friend and later his queen.

Nala is known for her courage, wisdom, and loyalty, playing a pivotal role in Simba’s journey to reclaim his rightful place as king of the Pride Lands. She challenges Simba to face his destiny and return to confront his uncle Scar, embodying themes of strength and perseverance.

In the original 1994 animated film, young Nala was voiced by Niketa Calame-Harris, while adult Nala was portrayed by actress Moira Kelly, who brought a mix of gentle warmth and commanding determination to the character. Singing performances were provided by Laura Williams for young Nala and Sally Dworsky for adult Nala.

In the 2019 live-action adaptation, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter voiced adult Nala, adding depth with her powerful performance and also contributing to the film’s soundtrack, including a new original song, “Spirit.” Young Nala in this version was voiced by Shahadi Wright Joseph.
