if the lion king be a serious story about a young lion grow up to avenge his father death and the lion king 1 and a half be the total opposite and full of whimsy and cheer . the lion king tell the story from the side of simba the young lion and 1 and a half be from the view of timone and pumbaa and a less than perfect duo make up of a meercat who leave home because he could not dig tunnel without bury his friend and neighbor and a warthog who have an odor issue . the movie be a little short on substance and but disney do a good job of fill time with various sketch star timone and pumbaa a they watch the movie with u . my favorite be the sing along that happen halfway through the movie and make sure you watch the bouncing bug . disney have advertise 1 and a half a the rest of the story and though it really isn not . it be just a different perspective of the lion king and without all of the serious stuff that pervade most of the second half of the original disney classic . credit nathan lane a timone and ernie sabella a pumbaa for their voice work and without their effort and the movie may not have work . the sing and they entertain and and they make u laugh . they also give u a reason to avoid a hot tub with a warthog .
