What critics compared The Lion King 1½ to
What I always appreciated about “The Lion King 1 1/2” is that it seemed to be made more for the parents of the children that watched “The Lion King” 194 times a week than it was for those kids.
The Lion King 1½ isn't a sequel as much as it is a parallel look at the original, with beloved characters Timon and Pumbaa taking us on a guided tour of how the first film happened from their perspective.
In “The Lion King 1 1/2,” Disney gave us the same story as the original “Lion King” but from the perspective of two of the main character’s sidekicks, the wart hog and the meerkat.
