Movie Reviews of The Lion King 1 1/2
Movie Review: For the True Disney Fan!
Summary: 5 Stars
We got to see a sneak showing of this Disney treat, and laughed until we cried! This clever retelling of the epic Disney story has more jokes and humor than any I've seen in a long time. And there are plenty of laughs for adults as well as children. If you call yourself a Disney fan, then this is a MUST OWN! From beginning to end: inventive and ingenious. (Note: Movie fans may find that just as the Lion King mirrored the story of Hamlet, this version may remind you of an indie film that told the same "Hamlet" story through the eyes of two minor characters -who's paralle storyline zig-zagged across the same chain of events. Only with nowhere near the same humorous results!) Hint: Place the remote where all can see it - or you'll think someone is playing with it!Movie Review: This movie is incredibly well done! I was blown away.

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.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: Lots and Lots of Laughs
Summary: 5 Stars
This next version of The Lion King is quite the grabber of laughs with its quick jokes and child appreciative humor. It boast its original voice charactization with Whoopi Goldberg, Matthew Boderick, and Moira Kelly, along with other voices that was included in the first film.It gives a different view of the 1st film. How Timon and Pumba met, and how they happen upon Simba. Everything seems to tie in with the first movie. If you liked Lion King (child or adult, doesn't matter), you will probably like this one, too.
Personally, I thought it was hilarious and great to watch. When it comes to Disney animation I am a fan. My family and I are glad to have this DVD in our collection, and maybe, you will, too.
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.
