The Lion King 1 1/2 Early Details

I could have done without the gas bit at Simba's presentation ceremony, but other than that, I liked it a LOT better than TLK 2.

My rating of TLK movies goes in the order of their release actually. 1 was best and always will be, 2 comes next except the animation, and 1.5 is last but not least. As Naline said before, I see it as a spoof.

I actually quite liked 1-1/2 (or 3 as it's called in my parts), although I admit to some scepticism before hand. I've seem some rather dire direct to video sequels in the past, and I was a little aprehensive that this might be one of those and take the edge off the original. Thankfully I was wrong.

Although it is far from perfect (that title going to the original) I didn't really like the way it made light of some of the more serious parts from the first film. As Nuka said it's more of a parody of the first film, going for comedy more than anything. Still it is a good film, and I'm glad I got it.

I'm yet to see TLK2, so I can't give a verdict on that one yet ... watch this space ;)

Let's just say you shouldn't get your hopes up. Save the part in the gorge, that was funny.

I really like it.

But when you watch it, you should watch with holding Lion King 1 too much in your head.

Like when Timon and Pumbaar are walking by Pride rock, they don't really care what's going on there ...
So don't try to think to much of the first movie, while watching Lion King 3.

But that's my opinion.

Set your expectations low and treat it as a spoof rather than a serious film and you'll do just fine.

What is nice though, now you know, why certain things happen in Lion King 1 *lol*

Actually, the gorge scene was the part of the movie I detested the most. I don't think those two should have anything to do with that 'sacred' scene. I use 'sacred' cause to me, that's what it is to me, it's the turning point of Simba's entire world. *shrugs* I just didn't care for the beginning of the film :p I liked everything after the gorge.

No, I just liked this line:

"What this place lacks in water and shade, it makes up for with searing heat and blinding sunshine."

Heh, don't know why. I guess I'm just easily amused.

In this topic you can see what I thought about it. (But it has spoilers!) But basically, I didn't like it too much. I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it. There are a few things I like about it if you read what I said in the topic in the link.

But really, everyone has different opinions of movies, so just watch it yourself and be open minded.

Thanks for the replies everyone :cheese: I'm gonna go rent it (maybe even buy it! :D) now lol Thanks again :cheese:

idk why but i did kind of like Lion King 1 1/2 but it had horrible animation in it, i mean HORRIBLE! All of the characters were poorly drawn and it looks rushed in some scenes and it is obvious when there is a different animator working on a scene because of the different styles. By the looks of it, there wasn't a lot of time and effort put into the movie. Overall i would give it a B, why so high? Becuase I get to see Simba again. muwahahahaha. But some of the stuff that occured in the movie just didn't feel right and wasn't TLK related and i wanted to love the movie but i couldn't just becuase i kept comparing it to the first and i don't think it is going to be possible for Disney to ever be able to top the original Lion King

The movie works best if you don't have reverence for the first movie. I don't; I really hate the first and second movies. So this one was a godsend for me. I loved TLK 1 1/2, but like I said, I have virtually no reverence for the first movie. My favorite parts are when they totally butcher "serious" scenes from the first movie. I wished I could have seen the looks on some of my more "respectful" TLK-fan friends' faces when they completely re-engineered the presentation of Simba at Pride Rock. I was all ha-ha-ha-because-it-makes-a-mockery-of-the-first-movie. But then, there are deeper reasons why I liked the butchery of serious moments, but I've just got done dodging a bullet in the flame war category, so I won't mention them unless asked.

Otherwise, great movie if you like meerkats and a few hyena scenes, and could care less about lions, which is basically exactly what I was looking for in a movie. I give it a triple A+++

You don't like the first TLK? :woeisme: But one of the few things I did like about TLK 1 1/2 is that the hyneas were in it. :ayecapn: I like the hyneas more then Timon and Pumbaa anyways. :evilgrin:

Nah, I really hate the first TLK. Many many reasons, and I tend to focus on some, and forget others, depending which mood I'm in. It's weird. I love the hyenas, too, as you can tell :ayecapn: but I love Timon and the other meerkats too. They're so adorable, and I am (I think) the last person on earth who is susceptable to cute fluffy animals =P

to me it was rubbish, i actually thought that it would be about Kovu and Kiara i am really annoyed:die:
But then again we did'nt have a choice:grrr:

I think it was funny enough, but they could have done without revisiting scenes from the first movie. The movie doesn't add anything to those scenes, and, in some way, diminishes their importances or detaches you from it. That would be my main gripe about it.

I didn't think it was rubbish. I thought it was funny. It was nowhere near as good as the first two though...obviously.

But there you go :browlift:
we all have different tastes in things, but i did think it was funny but it didn't actually get my like the other two did as they were both love and friend and so on and so forth...








:cheese:

I loved it! :D:lol:
