Watch The Lion King 1½ For Free

I love this movie so much

One of my all time favorites.

Expected more

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Well they tried something different, but it will probably fail to impress fans of The Lion King. Placing Timon and Pumbaa into earlier events and adding plot points later, just tarnishes the original and even contradicts it. It just seemed like a lot of, sometimes inventive, excuses to make a few cheap jokes. At least they managed to get back the majority of the original voice cast, but to imagine Pumbaa's fart caused the bowing at the beginning of the original is actually kind of annoying. By the end it is obvious that the makers were favoring parody, but these two work best as co-stars, and comic relief, rather than the heroes of the movie.

I really like the first lion king it was pretty well darn and quit funny and sad the 2nd one was okay it did had a few problems but I like this movie its not my favorite Disney movie but its quit good to watch the story is about Timon and Pumbaa who also appear in the short series called Timon and Pumbaa now are the main characters of this film the story is about Timon telling people about his life and not being happy and wanting to have a new life he tells his mum what he is looking for and sits off on his adventure and where Pumbaa and both make a became best friends and said that friends stick to gather in the end the story is very well done will its not as good as the first 2 but quit well done story is pretty good but its not as good as some other 2000 Disney films from the early 2000s but its not that bad its better then Inspector gadget 2 that awful direct video but all in all its fun for people who love direct films but if you are true lion king fan you might be a bit upset. Its not a masterpiece and does not compared with the first 2 films and is mostly is a bit more entertaining for kids than adults but some adults might like it I give this movie a 7 out of 10.

this Disney animated feature isn't really a Lion King movie.it's basically the story of Timon(the Meerkat)and Pumba(the Warthog)and how they first met.it eventually shows the some of the events from the original Lion King from their point of view.it obviously condenses the events a lot,and their are actually only a few moments from The Lion King here.i thought it was an OK movie,but i found it a bit slow and i thought some scenes went on too long.the song are not as memorable.at least i didn't think so.at least the same voice actors were used as in the original.this movie is fairly short,about 70 minutes,not including end credits.as an aside,this movie was produced after Lion King II: Simba's Pride.all in all this is an entertaining movie,but it doesn't have the same impact of the original Lion King.for me,The Lion King 1.5 is a 6/10

Surprisingly not terrible and well animated for one of Disney's straight to video throw away sequels. Like the previous sequel (The Lion King 2) I was glad that Disney brought back most of the original voice actors which makes a big difference and they kept a good level of traditional animation. The plot wanders around for a while but we are distracted by an unending string of jokes ranging from hilarious to dull. To break up the detached plot and jokes they gave us some silly musical sequences, which much like the jokes, range from entertaining to a quick trip to the fridge. For the most part the MST3K-like moments are bland and full of untapped potential and really don't add a whole lot to the movie other than to act as a vehicle for an hour-long flashback. The new characters are at least likable, and the old characters are out doing their thing so I can't fault them there. Overall this movie in not bad and it makes for a nice frivolous filler between the more serious Lion King titles.
