The Lion King 1½
Timon and Pumbaa start to watch the original Lion King movie, but Timon keeps insisting to fast forward to when they come in, because they weren't seen in the beginning of the story or anywhere until halfway through. Pumbaa suggests telling the audience their story, which begins before Simba's journey begins. Through this, we meet Timon's mother and Uncle Max, discover why he left his meerkat colony, where he learned Hakuna Matata, how he meets Pumbaa, and the perils they encountered while searching for their dream home.

While the young cubs will delight in The Lion King 1-1/2, there is also a treasure trove of pop culture references and dialogue-asides especially for adult film buffs.

In no way does The Lion King 1 1/2 measure up to the standards set by the original movie, but it does add an enjoyable twist to the fable.

"The Lion King 1 1/2" is a very clever "syncquel" that's entertaining in the beginning but weighed down by a premise and format that seem ill-suited for a full-length feature.

The Lion King 1 1/2 is visually beautiful, musically delightful and slap-the-knee-till-it's-raw funny! There are oodles of fun filled hours and super-wide smiles awaiting you.

This may become known as the gold standard for straight-to-video cartoon releases.

This is clearly the best video sequel that the mouse house has produced to date. Hakuna matata!

Whimsical and fun, The Lion King 1 1/2 is an enjoyable romp behind the fake scenes of a real movie.

Most Disney straight-to-video sequels are bunk, but here is an entertaining exception.

It is creative, and that's alone enough to rocket it to the top of the Disney sequel heap.

Clever and mostly charming--most kids will enjoy.

A clever retelling of a classic tale from skewed p.o.v. of supporting characters.

Quite inventive for a Disney straight-to-video release . . .
