studioAT The Lion King 2 was a rare example of a Disney sequel that stood shoulder to shoulder with the first one so you can see why Disney would want to try again and turn the series into a trilogy (Disney do love a good trilogy). By focusing on Timon and Pumbaa, who pretty much stole the first film,all the omens seemed good for this entry.The problem for me is that the idea of them retelling the story from Lion King 1 from their own point of view wasn't enough to sustain a film,which considering the short run length doesn't bode well. In some places it works OK, but when it starts to contradict the original it's hard to stay interesting.The voice cast do a good job,and it's nice to see (or rather hear) that many of the originals from Lion King 1 pop up again. There isn't anything really wrong with this film, it just pales in comparison to what has gone before.

elena1997 This is one of my favorite Disney movies of all time! It's just too awesome. I love how it shows Timon and Pumbaa meeting, the hyenas being the main villains, and shows Timon's family! Max just recently became my top favorite Disney character overall. Like I said in my review for Behind The Legend: Timon, he's such a riot! Plus to me, he is so cute! Timon's Mom is really cute too, and funny. Especially with the hair thing, and nearly squeezing Timon to death. XDAs for the part where Timon proposes to Shenzi as a distraction, Shenzi's reaction cracks me up every time! XD Same with Timon's hyena joke, Pumbaa changing the channel by accident, the "hot tub" scene, a whole lot of scenes crack me up.Plus, there were some moments that are just too cute to me. Such as Shenzi's "And that's just how I like 'em! Scrambled, and a little bit runny." And Max's face when Simba reclaims his place as King. Every time I see it, I just want to hug him! X3I love all the songs too! I get Max's singing stuck in my head. X3

Rainey Dawn The comedy duo Timon and Pumbaa are back for more laughs and to tell their version of the story "The Lion King". Each one wants to explain to the viewer what happened in the first film but from a very different perspective. It adds a twist to the original film while detailing how Timon and Pumbaa met. This movie is great for kids and adults alike but fair warning: it does contain some childish funny humor like fart jokes. This film is worth viewing but I would recommend watching the first film The Lion King before watching this Timon and Pumbaa's version of the tale followed by The Lion King 2.Similar films: "The Jungle Book" and "The Fox and the Hound" 9/10

SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain Well they tried something different, but it will probably fail to impress fans of The Lion King. Placing Timon and Pumbaa into earlier events and adding plot points later, just tarnishes the original and even contradicts it. It just seemed like a lot of, sometimes inventive, excuses to make a few cheap jokes. At least they managed to get back the majority of the original voice cast, but to imagine Pumbaa's fart caused the bowing at the beginning of the original is actually kind of annoying. By the end it is obvious that the makers were favoring parody, but these two work best as co-stars, and comic relief, rather than the heroes of the movie.
