On the Kovu section, the Trivia should state Zira as simply Kovu's mother, and not adoptive, because a friend of mine went on Facebook and contacted the director. Rooney stated that he only described Kovu as an orphan because Micheal Eisner wouldn't shut up about Kovu and Kiara being related in the original script. As well as that Kovu WAS Zira's adoptive son in one version of the script, but it was changed, so Rooney could've been referring to that version. But eitherway, nowhere in the film does it imply he was adopted. As well as that, in the Proud of Simba's Pride documentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0pGuSYQa5I) (4:12) Rooney describes Kovu as Zira's son, and Scar's protege. I'm just saying the reasons for my edit because I don't want to start an edit war.
