You have the original masterpiece, then you have the lesser sequel, then this perfect ending to the trilogy, with honestly the lion king's best characters. This movie is almost like a parody of the original film, but in a fun loving way. This movie is amazing.

This is one bad Spinoff. Don't watch it if you really love the Lion King.

The story of the Lion King through the eyes of Timon and Pumba. They always make me laugh!

Kinda dumb and kinda silly, yet 'The Lion King 1½' somehow manages to create a good film despite the disjointed nature of it. Timon and Pumbaa are the leads here, with Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella assuring things stay amusing. If those two didn't reprise their roles then it would've been a boring mess. Most of the main characters from 'The Lion King' return at some point too, with Matthew Broderick (Simba) and Robert Guillaume (Rafiki) notably reappearing. The plot is exceptionally fairly funny, as we get an alternate look of how the 1994 film went down. It shouldn't be enjoyable but it actually is, helped by Lane & Sabella alongside the strong animation. Not one to be taken seriously, just one to have a laid-back time with.

**Synopsis:** We all know the story of Simba's triumph over his evil uncle Scar, who killed Simba's father Mufasa...but, there's even more to that tale than you knew! Focusing on the backstory of Timon and Pumbaa, this sequel/prequel features the original cast and music by Elton John and Tim Rice.
