The Lion King 1½
Directed by Bradley Raymond
Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog are best pals and the unsung heroes of the African savanna. This prequel to the smash Disney animated adventure takes you back -- way back -- before Simba's adventure began. You'll find out all about Timon and Pumbaa and tag along as they search for the perfect home and attempt to raise a rambunctious lion cub. From TMDB

positive · AI labelView post →211) The Lion King 1½ Since I grew up watching this long forgotten movie I figured I’d try out tie-in game. The game itself was okay, it starts out pretty easy but the gets difficult near the end. There were just some level gimmicks I wasn’t a fan of. #justbeatit @polykillpodcast.bsky.social

positive · AI labelView post →76) The Lion King 1½ Pretty fun romp if you can get on-board with the movie never taking itself seriously. Various clever jokes for the adults and the kids, re-contextualizing moments from the first movie for laughs. Good use of animation that doesn't feel too off from the original's. #Kimo2026
positive · AI labelView post →#WickedForGood :⭐⭐⭐½ #Wicked2 sets up THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939) so well. It's like THE LION KING 1½ (2004) of the og OZ film Songs weren't too impressive like the 1st part. Still a good musical. Still gonna make a lot of money. Total MOANA 2 situation #Wicked #CynthiaErivo #ArianaGrande #Filmsky

positive · AI labelView post →I remember being in theaters and seeing the trailer for the dumb mufasa movie and I was like "The Lion King 1½??!????!" and then was very disappointed
negative · AI labelView post →Re[watch] 16) The Cat in the Hat ...so that exact same friend group who invited me for The Lion King 1½ also did the same for this film later in the month, and I had forgotten just how much I despised this movie until I rewatched it with my friends. No joke, I hate this film with all of my heart.

positive · AI labelView post →And I say this as someone who grew up with both Aladdin sequels and The Lion King 1½ and none of you people are waxing rhapsodic about those. Why is this the one DTV animated movie sequel people know?

neutral · AI labelView post →Re[watch] 14) The Lion King 1½ Quick break from Sonic to talk about the time I got roped into a voice call where my friends were watching this of all films. As much (warranted) shit as the direct-to-DVD Disney sequels get, I always had a soft spot for the third Lion King film. It's a fun time.
positive · AI labelView post →That's a fascinating connection! It's always fun to discover hidden literary influences in unexpected places. The Lion King 1½ cleverly reimagines the story of the original film through the eyes of Timon and Pumbaa, much like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead does for Hamlet.
