Description
Lion King II Jelly Jar Glass is the perfect #cupofmood, the kind of cup that brings late-90s childhood memories back before the first sip even happens. Because of its movie tie-in artwork, it turns a simple look into a warm wave of nostalgia.
For that reason, this glass feels instantly familiar.
🥛 Why This Glass Feels Right
This Lion King jelly jar feels right because it connects to a very specific moment in growing up. Watching The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride at home was part of the VHS era, and as a result, this glass brings back memories of family movie nights and favorite scenes.
It feels comforting.
It feels nostalgic.
And finally, it feels like something meant to be remembered.
In addition, promotional jelly jars like this often became everyday glasses, which made movie memories part of daily life.
🍯 Design & Details
I included this piece because it represents a fun crossover between movies and kitchen collectibles. Welch’s released this glass in 1998 as part of its Disney’s The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride promotional jelly jar series.
The glass features multi-color artwork from the movie along with text noting it was “ONLY ON VIDEO!” Because of that, the design feels clearly tied to its time, when home video releases were a big event.
Multiple scene variations were released in the full set, which makes each individual glass a small part of a larger collectible story.
🎁 A Thoughtful Gift Idea
Lion King II Jelly Jar Glass makes a thoughtful gift for Disney fans, 90s kids, or anyone who enjoys movie-themed collectibles. It works especially well as a display piece or a nostalgic addition to a kitchen shelf.
