Just as important as a good beginning, so is a good end to a movie. There's nothing worse than sitting through a long movie, only to be disappointed by a lackluster ending. Lucky for us, none of the TLK movies had a bad ending (or at least in my opinion they didn't) but when it comes down to it, which TLK movie had the best ending?
The Lion King's ending tied up all the loose ends that occurred during the movie. Simba faced his past and defeated the real killer of his father. Simba and Nala fell in love and became the rightful King and Queen of Pride Rock.
The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride ended with the two feuding sides finally putting aside what they thought were differences but realized in the end that they were the same. Kovu and Kiara, two different types of lions coming from two different worlds fell in love and were excepted by the others as a couple. Even though Zira had done what she did, Kiara still tried to help her in the end but to no avail. This was also the close in the trilogy. (but let's hope it's not truely the end^^)
In The Lion King 1 1/2, we were reminded of how the first movie ended again, with minor additions but the real ending was probably Timon finding his place in life and in doing so, saving his family and fellow meerkats from a life of worry. He found them a new home to live where they wouldn't have to work or be hyena chow so it worked out well for everyone in the end of this movie.
I'm going to have to go with The Lion King on this one though. I loved TLK2SP's ending very much but I think the original was the best. Simba getting his revenge on Scar and taking his rightful place as king was very moving and facing his past and finding his cub-hood friend again after so long and falling in love with her seals the deal for my vote on this one.
