what a pleasant surprise represent a disney dtv ( direct to video ) sequel that actually good . the lion king 1 half be a comedy affair that involve everyone favorite meerkat and warthog and timon and pumbaa . it start out with them watch the original movie and make comment and until timon complains that be not here yet . after fight over the remote and timon and pumbaa decide to tell the audience their story . they start the new movie and and the laugh begin . to be honest and i be lose hope in disney . most of their direct to video fare have be aggressively awful and with the story line desperate to cash in on the original . 1 half decides to try something different represent it tell the original story from a new point of view . okay and it add some stuff and like where timon come from and how he and pumbaa met and but it an interesting concept . nathan lane and ernie sabella perfectly recapture the bond and friendship that make u love them in the first movie . there also some neat movie parody ( include one scene that simultaneously spoof the good and the bad and and the ugly and cool hand luke ) and and the script be fill with funny memorable line . add to the cast be julie kavner ( the simpson ) a timon worry wart mom and and jerry stiller a timon slightly crazy uncle max . matthew broderick show up a simba and and his teen scene remind me of ferris bueller . everyone do well and especially robert guillame ( be that how you spell it . ) a rafiki and who exude more and more yoda speak in this movie ( timon comment on this several time ) . the lion king 1 half be a perfect alternate choice for those of you get tire of the shrekification of animation . positive .
