Ten years after The Lion King shot to the top at the box office and first introduced the characters of Simba (Matthew Broderick) and his pals Timon (Nathan Lane) and Pumbaa (Ernie Sabella), Disney presented this retelling of the Academy Award-winning animated musical. Switching the perspective to that of meerkat Timon and warthog Pumbaa, The Lion King 1 1/2 puts a new spin on the events of the original film. This time around, the comic duo are conveniently at the center of much of the story. Along with returning cast members Moira Kelly, Whoopi Goldberg, and Cheech Marin, The Simpsons' Julie Kavner and Seinfeld's Jerry Stiller lend their voices to newcomer characters Timon's Mom and Timon's Uncle Max, respectively. The straight-to-video film also features the never-before-heard song "That's All I Need."~Matthew Tobey
No, it’s not The Lion King. It isn’t as good of a story as The Lion King. For a kiddo movie, it is perfect. My kids enjoy this more than the original, it is way more fun. You follow Timon and Pumba the whole time, it’s great.

Bought this for a gift. Haven't seen it myself. So I can't rate the content. I rated it as excellent because it was an easy gift to pick up for a fan of the first Lion King movie.
