The Lion King 1 1/2

This was very funny. Buy it for yourselves. Harold Cooper 02/19/2024

The untold story of everyone's favorite Meerkat "Timon" ( voiced by Nathan Lane) during the events of Simba's birth on how Timon with Pumbaa ( Ernie Sabella) and Simba met, how Timon was a outcast and getting to know Timon's mom ( Julie Kavner who played Marge Simpson) and Uncle Max ( Jerry Stiller).A suprisingly good and hilarious prequel/sequel mix to " Lion King" and " Simba's Pride" that is a rare treat in the world of direct-to-video Disney animated sequels with a creative and original storyline with ideas. There is a MST3K-style opening with Timon and Pumbaa watching the original movie's beginning then tells us the story behind the original Lion King, the original cast is back such as Matthew Broderick, Robert Guiume, Whoopie Goldberg, and Cheech Marin return to reprise their roles with great theatrical quality animation.The 2-Disc DVD is quite good on the flawless picture & Sound quality, the extras are quite good like the deleted scenes, fun games, Grazing in the Grass music video by Raven, Timon and Puma's virtual Safari 1/2, featurette on how the film was made and a Mockumentary on Timon done by Biography's Peter Graves.If you want a hilarious and creative animated film that proves that not all direct-to-video animated stink these days, then i highly recommend this movie even to understand some of the original Lion King's plot holes.

I freaking love this movie!! I’m really a kid in a grown up body lol I would really watch this movie everyday!! Great movie 🍿

I was mad at the fact the purchase went though but glad my son loves this movie

I think we watched this at LEAST 150 TIMES when it came out. It provides much needed stress relief at the time. Luckily, our daughter was in the "again" phase so it was an all-around win. It helps to have seen the original first, as there are subtleties you may miss. Nathan Lane voices Timone, no one could have done it better. Combined with Julie Kavner as his mother and Jerry Stiller as Uncle Max they provide the core of a wonderfully written priceless comedy. Pay attention to the score as well, classic music adds to the hilarity in the background. We still enjoy it once in a while. Fabulous on many levels. Don't miss it.

This is a fun movie. It does not compare to The Lion King only because it is not the same kind of movie. Where The Lion King is a drama, The Lion King 1 1/2 is a comedy. It is a bit crude here and there but it doesn’t descend deep into depravity like so many cartoons today. One of my disappointments was that it poked fun at The Lion King in various spots. It was funny, but some of the poking fun I would not have done. This film is worthwhile and appropriate for the whole family.

My kids, 4.5 and 2.5, LOVE this (the younger one only watches short, appropriate, snippets). They love Lion King, and as a result, love this movie. In fact, my son found a Hidden Mickey in the scene where Pumba and Timon go over the waterfall - impressive! Keep your eyes focused on the cliffs. This is a direct to DVD prequel for a reason, and its largely for kids...but I certainly enjoyed watching parts of it myself. Even as a 37-year old, some of the Pumba-Timon dialogue regarding flatulence was really quite clever, what can I say!! :) Well, it struck my funny bone, at least. And there are a variety of other very enjoyable and clever scenes. In sum: par excellence for the kiddie set, and probably quite enjoyable for anyone who liked Lion King.

This is a very funny movie that is a great companion to The Lion King. The basic premise of the movie is taken from Timon and Pumbaa's point of view and it is hillarious! Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella provide hysterical dialogue and it kept me laughing out loud through the whole movie. The supporting voice actors do a great job as well. If you enjoyed The Lion King, then you will really enjoy this movie. The Lion King had a more serious tone, but The Lion King 1 1/2 doesn't, and that is what makes it a good movie. If you want to sit back and laugh by yourself or with your family, then by all means watch this movie. It makes a great addition to the Disney collection of classic movies. HIGHLY Recommended!
