The Lion King 1 1/2 just okay

This movie should have been included with the First Lion King movie special edition 2nd release. It should have been put with the supplementary dvd that are usually provided with movie backgrounds and makings of. The story was too long and definitely did not stand on it's own. The format of Timon and Pumba watching the story at the movies and interrupting the film took away from the story.
My children had a hard time sitting through it, and they are Lion King fans.
I do not recommend this title.

Lion King 1 1/2 a Hit With Young Children

Lion King 1 1/2 is Timon and Pumba at their best. In fact, it is their behind the scenes story of Lion King. This movie takes us up to the meeting with Simba but from Timon and Pumba's point of view. The songs are catchy little tunes that my toddler loves to listen to over and over. Paired with all the characters of the original cast, a look into Timon's meerkat family life, an existential baboon, and an ending that would rival any swim musical from the 1940's, you have the makings of a great Disney cartoon. This one is a must!!

Creative and Lighthearted

I liked the postmodern twist of this movie. Rather than a sequel after a movie, this Lion King film happens simultaneously with the original. Sometimes really silly, this movie makes kids laugh, rather than sad. Nothing is too deep for kids to ask questions, but rather the pace moves quickly with one laugh after the other. The same brilliance of the Serengeti lights up the screen as well as their own paradise. The theme relates to friendship and Timon learns an important lesson. The music is upbeat and catchy and the characters have lighter, yet developed personalities. A fun movie for adults to watch and kids love it over and over again. A good one to buy!

The Lion King 1 1/2

For entertainment. Every ting seem as described and the delivering was pretty quick. THE LION KING 1 1/2 shows the events that occurred during The Lion King through the eyes of Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog. While these two were pretty much relegated to minor comic sidekick roles in the original movie, here they're the stars of the show.

Lion king 1 1/2

I'm a huge Disney fan!I thought the first was very original & this is just pure clean comedy,you don't have to worry about the kids watching it & there is no slant to it.It takes you back to tell the story of the 2 most beloved characters in the first movie "pumba & timon" and you will laugh all the way to the end.I give it 2 thumbs up even though it didn't get allot of press time it does with me.
