The Lion King 1½ (DVD/VHS)

Template:Anti- lamp

Synopsis

Hilarity reigns in this all-new motion picture starring Timon and his windy pal Pumbaa -- the greatest unsung heroes of the savanna! Featuring the original voice cast and music by Elton John and Tim Rice, The Lion King 1½ takes you waaay back to the beginning before Simba's tale began...and beyond!

In this all-new comedy-adventure, Timon and Pumbaa reveal where they came from, how they met, and why some of the greatest moments in The Lion King look for a little different from their perspective. Tag along as they search for their dream home, raise a rambumnctious young lion cub and help Simba save the Serenget. It's a whole new story that includes glimpses of some of the events you'll remember from The Lion King -- such as when King Mufasa introduced baby Simba to the anumal kingdom. Let's just say there was something behind that dramatic moment when all the animals bowed to their new ruler!

Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, Ernie Sabella and the original voice cast return for this hysterical musical tale -- and meet colorful new characters like Timon's Ma (Julie Kavner, The Simpsons) and Uncle Max (Jerry Stiller, King of Queens)! With all your favorite characters, the music you love and more, get ready for some king-sized fun with Timon and Pumbaa!

3	Meerkats may be grass-intolerant, according to Uncle Max, but sometimes a good-looking clump is just too hard to resist!	Clumps of grass
4	Ahhh... nothing's more relaxing than swinging in the hammock while enjoying a cool beverage. But Timon has a funny feeling someone's looking down on him from the trees above!	Green flower shape on left

9	No bones about it -- even the edge of the Elephant Graveyard is a creepy place!	Left edge plateau
10	They go by in a flash, but try to enjoy some of those interesting wall formations when you go down that waterfall.	Canyon wall

18	To get back to Pride Rock, Timon and Pumbaa should walk along the edge where they can follow the water below.	Rocks plateau, left

In Other Countries

In these countries, they use the international title "The Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata". In place of Who Wants to Be King of the Jungle? is a much simpler game called Rafiki's Challenge, where Rafiki shuffles gourds and you have to find the one where the green gem is inside of. There are seven levels in this game. It is featured on The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (Special Edition) DVD.
