In no way does The Lion King 1 1/2 measure up to the standards set by the original movie, but it does add an enjoyable twist to the fable.

Quite inventive for a Disney straight-to-video release . . .
03/29/04
This is clearly the best video sequel that the mouse house has produced to date. Hakuna matata!

A clever retelling of a classic tale from skewed p.o.v. of supporting characters.

Top CriticThe Lion King 1 1/2 is visually beautiful, musically delightful and slap-the-knee-till-it's-raw funny! There are oodles of fun filled hours and super-wide smiles awaiting you.

While the young cubs will delight in The Lion King 1-1/2, there is also a treasure trove of pop culture references and dialogue-asides especially for adult film buffs.
02/10/04
This is quite possibly the studio's most banal direct-to-video sequel to date

If they must milk every franchise for all it’s worth,at least they approached this one with a creative perspective.I’d still like to see them take more risks with the sequels.

pathetic... pointless
02/07/04
Fart gags, belch jokes, and slug-eating contests abound. To me, the filmmakers have dishonored the memory of a treasured classic.
02/04/04
As far as straight-to-video Disney sequels go, it doesn't get much better than The Lion King 1½.
