The Tiger King II: Sanjay's Streak (later retitled The Tiger King 2: Sanjay's Streak) is a 2000 American animated romantic musical film. It is also the first direct-to-video release from DreamWorks Animation and a sequel to DreamWorks' 1996 animated feature film, The Tiger King. The story takes place in a kingdom of tigers in India and was influenced by William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. According to director Charles Grosvenor, the final draft gradually became a variation of Romeo and Juliet. Produced by DreamWorks Home Entertainment and Wang Film Productions Co. LTD. and released on July 18, 2000, the film centers on Sanjay and Neeva's daughter Kalapi, who falls in love with Kavi, a male rogue tiger from a banished streak that was once loyal to Sanjay's evil uncle, Scratch. Separated by Sanjay's prejudice against the banished streak and a vindictive plot planned by Kavi's mother Zena, Kalapi and Kavi struggle to unite their estranged streaks and be together. Most of the original cast returned to their roles from the first film with a few exceptions. James Nesbitt, who voiced Zinga in the first film, was replaced by Kenneth Branagh for both this film and The Tiger King 1½. Tony Jay, who voiced Scratch in the first film, was replaced by Corey Burton.
