Our whole family actually really enjoyed this film. It should be noted that where the focus of Lion King 1 & 2 was primarily drama with comic relief, this film does not take itself seriously and is pure comedy. So, if comparing it to the other two films, you will likely come away disappointed. However, taken for what it is, pure and unadulterated nonsense, it is quite enjoyable. (I mean, come on, it's hosted by Timon and Pumbaa! What'd you expect?) :-)

If you were one who felt that the subject matter or drama of the original Lion King (or it's sequel) were a bit too intense for your young child, you'll be pleasantly surprised at this light-hearted fare featuring the Lion King ensemble. It's a great way to introduce children to the cast of characters they've become familiar with through theme parks, Disney marketing and television, in a harmless way.

If you're a big fan of the Lion King, you'll likely also enjoy this energetic and cheeky romp, with characters you've grown to love, containing references and in-jokes from the original film.

My wife and I experienced many laugh-out-loud moments through our viewing. And, our kids 6 and 8 were hysterical over it. It was great family entertainment, and great fun. Very much recommended. Enjoy!

I disagree with the previous post. I think this movie is very good--definitely one of the better sequels! My whole family likes it. If you are a fan of Lion King and have seen it more than once, you will appreciate all of the funny references and inside jokes.

Grandkids enjoyed it. Certainly not up to the standards of the original but fun. We've had it for quite some time.

In a mess of movie references and pointless plot, Lion King 1 1/2 proves itself to be extremely sub-par within the Lion King Saga. I am quite shocked that such rubbish could come out of Disney. You are better off renting something else for your children or you to watch; any other movie would not suck away brain cells like this one did.
