Watching the Lion King II, the quailty is much lower and it doesnt “look” like a movie, but rather a long episode of a tv show. Why does the look seem so different?

Theatrical releases are treated as animated films. This means that development focuses a lot on cinematography, which includes composition, framing, staging, etc. Having a higher budget for a theatrical release means the artists have more time to perfect the cinematography among other things. Straight to dvd releases are treated more like television releases where there’s a smaller budget and more time constraints, so artists have less time to perfect cinematography. Film typically uses a wider viewing angle as well, which, along with cinematography techniques, gives more depth to a shot. DVD releases will have flatter shots as it’s easier and faster to not have to deal with things in perspective.
The comments about animation frames are correct too.
