The Lion King 1

This movie stank because it was not about Simba, but more about Timone. For that reason, I was very disappointed. His character is very annoying and he's NOT strong enough or appealing enough to be a lead! I suspect that the guy that did Timone's voice was the executive producer, because he was in every scene. The story was so weak that I cannot write about it or describe it. What was the point of this movie? It displayed scence from the original movie--which I loved--but it did not offer me anything except a little bit of backgroun on Timone. At the very least, Disney could have given us a little background about pumba, or give us a little more on Simba, Kiara or even Zira for that matter!
I cannot believe I spent $19.00 on this DVD. I give it one start for some of the music.

This is the last disney "cheapquels" I will ever buy. The problem with this movie isn't the animation. The animation is "OK," I guess, but more of the low quality animation associated with TV, than with feature films. The problem here is that the story is simply boring. It's meant to be a comic take on The Lion King, as told from the perspective of Timon and Pumba, but really, the plot is thin, the characters are shallow and didn't capture my attention in the least. Sadly, the film--probably to save money--is inter-cut with actual scenes from the original Lion King. The gualing part about this is that it reminded me how well-crafted and interesting the original film was. Also, how good the original animation and story were compared to this crap! Yes, the concept "seems" funny. And the cover art looks well done. If only the folks at Disney had spent more time on the actual film, particularly in character and story development. If you want to be bored for 70 minutes, buy this film now. Otherwise, save your money.


Even my three-year-old wouldn't watch this lame movie   March 1, 2004

After about a half hour of this terrible DVD, my son asked to turn it off and watch the original Lion King instead. I was relieved -- if you like potty humor, that may be the only slightly amusing thing in it. The timelines and plot (such as it is) make no sense, and the little humor there is is at the expense of the original movie. I wouldn't even recommend this as a rental. Michael Eisner is taking Disney down the toilet a bit too literally with this one.
