Summary: This movie is incredibly well done! I was blown away.
Review: This is how Disney should make direct-to-video sequels. The Lion King 1 1/2 is well-animated, insanely funny, and adorably heart-warming. I'm 23 years old and absolutely loved this movie. Not only is it great for kids, but adults will love it too. There are actually jokes intended for adults because I doubt a child could understand some of the material. I laughed the entire time. And for once, a direct-to-video movie was actually animated well. During the movie, clips from the first movie are added in and it is hard to tell sometimes because the animation flows so well. I was amazed. Even the DVD's extras were funny and well-done. If you liked the Lion King and like animation, go buy this movie and get ready for an enjoyable and hilarious experience.

Summary: A Great Movie
Review: This movie is not exactly a sequel to the Lion King 1, It was more of a behind the scenes movie of the lion king 1 mostly from Timon and Pumba's view. This movie was a funny, entertaining, and family oriented movie. This movie is a must have for any family.

Summary: Astounding! A DtV success!
Review: 4 stars is my max unless something leaves me unconcious. Ruthie Jiminez Vargas, you're still the 5th star!
Let's face it; most direct-to-video releases are pretty ho-hum. Most *Disney* DtV peg the suck-meter. Take Lilo & Stitch's setup for the lousy series, "Stitch!". Didn't that just make you think that someone was testing the room-full-of-monkeys-with-typewriters theory? What a letdown after L&S was soooo very awesome!
Well, here's something that pretty much makes up for it; TLK 1 1/2:Hakuna Mattata! A DtV success! Buy it right now. Go! Now! Don't worry about locking the door or turning off the computer or even seeing that the kids have a minder!
Are you still sitting there?

Summary: Humorous side of the Lion King....
Review: I'll have to admit that after reading some negative reviews of Lion King 1 1/2, I had really low expectations of this movie and wouldn't have watched it if it weren't for my kids. Well, I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this movie! If you're a fan of the Timon and Pumbaa series currently playing on the Disney channel, then you won't mind watching this movie more than once. If not, then I suggest you try watching it and this movie.

Summary: A SENSATIONAL PREQUEL!
Review: A sensational prequel, THE LION KING 1 1/2 does what few prequels (or sequels, for that matter) do, it tells the parallel tale of what Simba's pals the meerkat Timon (starring Nathan Lane) and Pumbaa the warthog (starring Ernie Sabella) were doing at the beginning of the original THE LION KING before they met up with Simba. And there are numerous overlaps with the original movie as though
Timon and Pumbaa were just standing offstage when the original action was being filmed. Absolutely clever and witty! Add to the cast the hilarious talents of Jerry Stiller (THE KING OF QUEENS) as Timon's uncle and Julie Kavner (THE SIMPSONS) as Timon's mother and you have a wonderful story that adds to the LION KING story about as creatively as any companion movie could. It's wonderful. Matthew Broderick (Simba), Whoopi Goldberg (Shenzi), Robert Guillaume (Rafiki) and Moira Kelly (Nala) all return in their original roles from THE LION KING. And unlike so many straight-to-video offerings what you have here is no "let's go for the dough" fluff. The story, the animation and the music (featuring original songs by Elton John and Tim Rice) are theater release quality. THE HORSEMAN

Summary: Going for the quick buck
Review: No wonder Roy Disney left the company accusing Michael Eisner of going for the 'quick buck' with low quality products. What a crappy movie.

Summary: The 'other' story!
Review: If you enjoyed Timon & Pumbaa in the original Lion King and Lion King II, you will thoroughly enjoy The Lion King 1 1/2!! This is the story retold from Timon's point of view. It begins by telling the story of how Timon left his home and ventured out on his own - once you get past this part, the movie really picks up. The story of the original Lion King is intertwined here as Timon's perspective is revealed. You learn how Timon & Pumbaa met, how they cared for Simba, ...I don't want to give too much away here. This is a new twist in sequels! Though not every Disney classic could be retold like this (nor would we want them to try!), this movie tells the story from a different angle, a different perspective - and succeeds! The original voices are back, Rafiki (Robert Guillaume), Timon (Nathan Lane), Pumbaa (Ernie Sabella), etc. It just wouldn't be the same without them. There are some catchy tunes - (though not as good as the original Lion King). This is a 2 disk set, with extra features which consist of Deleted Scenes, a trivia game "Who Wants to be King of the Jungle", a Hidden Mickeys Treasure Hunt (which will have you watching again & again) and more! I recommend this to all Lion King lovers! It fills in the original story well - and will keep you giggling!

Summary: Completes the story
Review: What a wonderful film. I am a 27 year old Disney fan. I have watched one and half three times and I have only had it for two days! (It helps that there is a three year old in the house that doesn't mind watching it too :) ) The film has a completely different tone to Disney's other works. I kept saying out loud, "that is so UNDISNEY" as I laughed my head off. It is great that the original voices are back, otherwise the movie would have lost a lot of authenticity. The movie fills in all those little gaps from the first movie and its a great addition to any Disney collection-have fun and enjoy it-several times if you have the time!

Summary: Laugh out loud funny!
Review: I laughed so much during this movie! I loved it! I am a huge Lion King fan so I already had high expectations from the beginning but I can happily say that I was not disappointed. I loved practically every miniute of the movie. I really enjoyed how the original movie was intertwined with this movie. It was neat to see how some of the situations in the first movie were as of a result of some of the things that occurred in this movie. For example, the reason the pyramid of animals fell during the "I Just Can't Wait to be King" song, Timon's fault. I really feel that this movie could have made some good money if it had been released into theaters. Although Finding Nemo recentely broke The Lion King's record doesn't mean that The Lion King is down for the count. The only negative thing I could say about this movie is that the song's aren't the absolute best but they are catchy enough to pass the grade. Another thing I enjoyed about this movie were the hidden Mickey icons. I had begun to notice them while watching the movie for the first time (it's become a habit to check out the details in the recent movies since Disney tends to incorporate guest shots from previous movies into the newer ones). In the special features the watcher is informed that there is, in fact, 20 hidden Mickey's throughout the movie are challenged to find each and everyone of them. I have yet to be able to do this. Also the "Who Wants to be King of the Jungle" game is fun but in order to win you have to be an avid Lion King fan (like myself) becuase you are asked questions from all three Lion King movies. Each time you play there are different questions so it is always a challenge. I think this is a must have movie! The Lion King Lives on just like the great Circle of Life!

Summary: Funny!
Review: This is probaly 1 of Disney's best movies! It was funny and the most surprising part was the animation! The animation was quality the kind you would have to see in theaters (Sorry about my spelling) and wait about a year 4 it 2 come out! Look on the back if it has the THX symbol on the back your looking at a hi quality animated film. I wonder why the movie was'nt in theaters? The length was only 77 minutes but each minute was worth wile:) There is bad feeling in this movie only good feelings! Your kids will love this movie!
