Lion King 1 1/2

Pros: Pretty good animation for a dtv, very humorous, and enjoyable music.

Cons: The DVD extras, some of the jokes were childish, and that "remote" thing was annoying.

The Bottom Line: The Lion King 1 1/2 is a humorous rendition of the story we all know and love. Timon and Pumbaa offer an amusing perspective to original events.

Review: As far as Disney dtvs go, I was actually pleasantly surprised by The Lion King 1 1/2. While we all know that this movie doesn't hold a candle to its original, it's still an amusing variation of the story from the point of view of the hilarious sidekicks ...

Pros: Imaginative story line and uplifting.

Cons: The "commentaries" really got on the kids' nerves!

Review: This isn't one of Disney's masterpieces, but it really was a cute movie. Everyone who is a child at heart should enjoy it. It was very creative how they wrote the story from another perspective and tied it in to the first one without digressing from ...

Pros: Better than other Disney sequels, fun for kids, great video, good sound

Cons: Almost no rewatchability, extra features thin and useless

The Bottom Line: Your kids will probably agree, this is a merely a good rental. It will make you yearn for the original, which you should already own!

Review: Introduction The Lion King was a monumental film, one of Disney’s only “original” feature stories and a fine addition to anyone’s collection. Sadly, in this market of half-baked sequels, Disney is a constant offender. It ...

Pros: cute idea; some funny moments; interesting perspectives

Cons: all the extras; awkward moments in storyline

The Bottom Line: We all know nothing will never match up with first Lion King. However, this DVD may be worth a shot for its cute twist on the original story.

Review: Okay, this is one of the more interesting releases on DVD I have seen in a while. We all know that any sequel to the Lion King won't measure up to the first. But what about this kind, an interquel I believe it is called. While I wasn't exactly looking ...

Pros: Disney's improvement in making sequels

Cons: Cartoonish style in the beginning.

The Bottom Line: Knowing the quality of Disney's sequels I expected a disaster but they pleasantly suprised me although the job could be better done.

Review: Not the worst Disney movie ever, but there are absolutely too many bad things that got into my eye when watching it.First thing that really bothers me is the story which is too boring and it moves very fast. Timon and Pumbaa as the main characters really ...

Pros: Full of action, funny, cute

Cons: Might be hard for little kids to follow

Review: This movie was an okay show. The original Lion King bases the whole movie, but Timon and Pumba tell their story of what happened. They flip from clips of the original story to their version all the way through the film. I could follow it pretty ...

Pros: animation, sound, hakuna matata's back, worth viewing once

Cons: some_points_in_the_movie_are_boring, need_to_see_first_movie_to_enjoy_some_of_the_jokes, bad_extras, lame_plot, some_annoying_breaks_during_action_scenes

The Bottom Line: Lion King 1 1/2 is strictly rental-only.

Review: The Lion King series is new to me. I have only seen the original (which was very well done) until this one came out and I decided to give it a shot. There were some advertisements for it and it looked fairly good. I was pretty let down when I saw it. ...

Pros: Honestly, I can't think of any. There were some coupons in the box.

Cons: Boring, terrible music, no good humor, plot too complex for little kids.

The Bottom Line: I strongly recommend you skip this movie. This is not even enjoyable for real fans, and lukewarm fans will probably turn of the movie in the first few minutes.

Review: I had high hopes for this movie after enjoying "The Lion King 2." These hopes were dashed within the first 5 seconds. Plot: The plot centers on Timon and Pumbaa and how they feel the Lion King story should have been told. This is done through an ...

Pros: It was kind-of neat to hear Timon and Pumba's story

Cons: This was very, very confusing.

The Bottom Line: I really would not recommend this movie. Also, it wasn't very enjoyable to watch except for the few jokes in it.

Review: My family and I are movie fanatics, Disney, Pixar, Warner Bros., etc., so my mom picked this one up for us a couple days after it came out. Boy, what a disappointment. I’d rather watch Austin Powers – Spy who Shagged Me, over this; and I can’t really ...
