surprisingly not terrible and well animate for one of disney straight to video throw away sequel . like the previous sequel ( the lion king 2 ) i be glad that disney bring back most of the original voice actor which make a big difference and they keep a good level of traditional animation . the plot wanders around for a while but we be distract by an unending string of joke range from hilarious to dull . to break up the detach plot and joke they give u some silly musical sequence and which much like the joke and range from entertain to a quick trip to the fridge . for the most part the mst3k like moment be bland and full of untapped potential and really do not add a whole lot to the movie other than to act a a vehicle for an hour long flashback . the new character be at least likable and and the old character be out do their thing so i can not fault them there . overall this movie in not bad and it make for a nice frivolous filler between the more serious lion king title .
