The Lion King 1 1/2

2004 • 76 minutes

About this movie

In this comedy-adventure, Timon and Pumbaa reveal where they came from, where they met and how they helped Simba save the Serengeti. Their story includes glimpses into some big events from The Lion King that look a little different from Timon and Pumbaa's perspective - such as when King Mufasa introduced baby Simba to the animal kingdom. Let's just say there was something behind that dramatic moment when all the animals bowed to their new ruler! Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, Ernie Sabella and the original voice cast return for this hysterical musical tale - and meet colorful new characters like Timon's Ma (Julie Kavaer) and Uncle Max (Jerry Stiller)! With all your favorite characters, the music you love and more, get ready for some king-sized fun with Timon and Pumbaa!

Ratings and reviews

Saw this on holiday and was quite surprised... It is actually quite good. (Watch the lion king original first though, or its confusing) I only have an issue with the title. This movie used to be called 'the lion king 3' why did they change it to 'lion king 1 1/2?' Mysterious....

Love it! Use of familiarity, parody, retrospective character development and additional themes missed out of LK1 were great. The dialogue is very entertaining and the voice acting was once again great. The movie format was inventive, and although not an original method as it has been used before, definitely a creative one. Timon & Pumbaa's story was entertaining and touching. Music was mainly recycled or rearranged but still a huge catch- but new songs were quite good too. Great watch, 5*. Would recommend.
