Movie Reviews of The Lion King 1 1/2
Movie Review: A masterpiece.
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was definitely better than that Timon and Pumbaa cartoon show I used to watch. It was really funny and I liked the use of the Peter Gunn theme. I also like how it had not only Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella, but the rest of the original cast as well. Sure, it was a little disturbing to see Timon and Pumbaa kiss, but there's two reasons why it was justified. The first being that they did it by accident. The second that by the disgusted looks on their faces, they obviously didn't enjoy it. Timon proposing to Shenzi was a bit disturbing too, but he needed to distract the hyenas and if it's stupid, but it works, it ain't stupid. Aside from those minor things, I really loved this movie and would recommend it to all Lion King fans.Movie Review: Great for young children
Summary: 5 Stars
My boys (3.5yo and 21mos) love this movie. My 3.5yo has loved it for more than a year. He has also seen the original Lion King and was not interested in it in the least. I think this one is just a lot more fun and more approachable for the younger children. They love Timon and Pumba, and even I enjoy the interaction between these best friends. I also find it more appropriate for younger children since it is less serious and there aren't so many sad scenes. And this was a great movie to watch before our trip to WDW - made them love the Lion King show!
My favorite scene is when they are doing karaoke for hakuna matata and Pumba tries to eat the beetle that is the pointer for the song lyrics.
Movie Review: Overall, it's OK...
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, the movie is ok. It captures the spirit of The Lion King fairly well. It's songs are rather cheesy. But one small scene is very memorable. Timon and Pumba are watching Simba walk off with Nala. Timon looks longingly after Simba and starts singing "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof. It was hilarious! That little scene pulls the movie from a three to a four in my oppinoin. It was really greatMovie Review: Made to earn money, still is entertaining for children.
Summary: 4 Stars
I thought it was ideal for children, may be childish for adults, but the kids that watched it with me were delighted. Basically Disney vanilla, but they do it well. Movie Review: 4 stars as a movie,2 stars as one of the Lion Kings
Summary: 3 Stars
Yeah,Timon and Pummba are funny,and the movie is funny.But I love the lion king and I thought 1 1/2 should have something more than funny,so I think it is Ok,but still a little disapointed.Maybe it's just because TLK is too perfect.
