DVD Synopsis

Ten years after The Lion King shot to the top at the box office and first introduced the characters of Simba (Matthew Broderick) and his pals Timon (Nathan Lane) and Pumbaa (Ernie Sabella), Disney presented this retelling of the Academy Award-winning animated musical. Switching the perspective to that of meerkat Timon and warthog Pumbaa, The Lion King 1 1/2 puts a new spin on the events of the original film. This time around, the comic duo are conveniently at the center of much of the story. Along with returning cast members Moira Kelly, Whoopi Goldberg, and Cheech Marin, The Simpsons' Julie Kavner and Seinfeld's Jerry Stiller lend their voices to newcomer characters Timon's Mom and Timon's Uncle Max, respectively. The straight-to-video film also features the never-before-heard song "That's All I Need." ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

Fans of Disney's classic animated musical The Lion King who always wondered what the story would be like if it was told through the eyes of comic relievers Timon (Nathan Lane) and Pumbaa (Ernie Sabella) need wonder no more with the release of The Lion King 1½, a retelling of the 1994 film that puts the neurotic meerkat and flatulent warthog at the center of the action. Released straight-to-video, the film is presented in a loaded two-DVD edition. The first disc features the film itself along with seven deleted scenes and a game called "Hidden Mickey Hunt." The original English soundtrack is available in either DTS or Dolby Digital 5.1, and a dubbed French soundtrack has also been rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1. The second disc includes a making-of featurette, a music video for "Grazing in the Grass" by Raven, a segment called "Timon: Behind the Legend," and three more games, including a Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? takeoff starring host Meredith Vieira. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
