DVD The Lion King 1 1/2
The Lion King 1½ is an ingenious sequel that retells the original film's story from the perspective of best pals Timon the meerkat (voiced by Nathan Lane) and Pumbaa the warthog (Ernie Sabella). Anyone who has wondered how this odd couple met will find out here, beginning with Timon's flight from home following disgrace and his chance encounter with the sweet but lonely Pumbaa. With the arrival of young Simba (Shaun Flemming), The Lion King's familiar tale is reborn via a fresh angle, fleshed out by returning characters Rafiki the wise monkey (Robert Guillaume), Shenzi (Whoopi Goldberg), and Simba's love interest, Nala (Moira Kelly). While the retooled narrative proves a novel experience, The Lion King 1½ is really a vehicle for voice actors Lane and Sabella, whose comic performances are shamelessly, broadly funny. Matthew Broderick, Julie Kavner, and Jerry Stiller are also in the vocal cast. --Tom Keogh
Thank you so much for totalling the Lion King series! I couldn't be more grateful if I tried!
This is among THE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN! I saw it at one of my old schools. I, and I'm betting the other two TLK movies were not only offended(in a loose sense for the movies)but also appalled and shocked. I may love real lions, and I may love the animated ones in the original and TLK 2 Simba's Pride(which I of course plan to get sooner or later)but this garbage is a disgrace that sickens me! It shows all the stupid stuff that happened with Timon and Pumbaa(who, in my opinion, both suck)the cool characters like Nala, Simba, Scar, Mufasa, Shenzi, and Banzai are given very little time on the screen and when they are on are given no respect at all, and on top of it all, the songs suck and so does the story and the new characters. I love the first Lion King movie and the second one, and I also love lions, as I have said before. BUT THIS...IS JUST A REALLY DISRESPECTFUL AND ROTTEN INSULT TO THEM! DO NOT SEE THIS PILE OF JUNK! IT IS WORSE THAN THE CATWOMAN MOVIE! I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN CATWOMAN, AND I KNOW ALREADY THAT IT SUCKS EVEN MORE! THIS IS AN OFFENSE TO THE LION KING, YOU HEAR ME! AND IT'S AN OFFENSE TO ALL GOOD PEOPLE AND OF COURSE COOL ANIMALS! AND I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO GET STARTED ON THE FACT THE WHOLE JOKE IS ABOUT PASSING (BeepBleepBleepBeepBeepBleep BeepBeepBweepBleepBeep)ING GAS! THIS IS JUST CONTEMPTIBLE!!!!!!!!

Everything went great. The DVD was in excellent condition, it arrived quickly and the price was perfect - well below any store bought DVD.
Shameless copying from the original
I had a chance to watch "The Lion King 1 1/2" yesterday, and I was impressed at the degree to which a studio can copy from itself, without any shame. I would have to say probably half the movie was copied from the original, or built around it in a way that is probably reflected well in the title. I give it 2 stars and not one, because in the 50% or so that is original, there are a handful of funny lines by Timba.
It's not really a sequel or a prequel, nor does it add too much to the whole story. Bottom line, it goes into why Timon and Pumba were on their own prior to meeting Simba, and then it goes into a little more into their life together as a trio of buddies without any worries in life. All in all, it seems like another way Disney deviced to further milk a great franchise. Don't buy it.
This two-disc presentation of the popular sequel delivers a better sounding DVD and looks a bit better than the initial release (although the original was pretty sharp). There are no changes in the film except a pop-up viewing mode with facts--fun and otherwise--about the film. The second disc is for the kids, including games, a cute documentary on African animals, and another installment of the Virtual Safari. This "ride" puts you in a jeep with Timon and Pumbaa as they race the jungle and pride lands bumping into various obstacles, all in booming Dolby 5.1 sound. The best extra is the new short "One by One" a modern day tale of Africa and the finest short from the studio since 2000's "John Henry." --Doug ThomasMore Info about this DVD Actor(s): Matthew Broderick - Neve Campbell Director(s): Darrell Rooney - Rob LaDuca DVD Release Date: Released the 31 August 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

Not an ideal choice for younger kids, this hip and violent animated feature from Disney was nevertheless a huge smash in theaters and on video, and it continues to enjoy life in an acclaimed Broadway production. The story finds a lion cub, son of a king, sent into exile after his father is sabotaged by a rivalrous uncle. The little hero finds his way into the "circle of life" with some new friends and eventually comes back to reclaim his proper place. Characters are very strong, vocal performances by the likes of Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, and Whoopi Goldberg are terrific, the jokes are aimed as much (if not more) at adults than kids, the animation is sometimes breathtaking, and the music is more palatable than in many Disney features. But be cautious: this is too intense for the... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Rob Minkoff - Roger Allers DVD Release Date: Released the 07 October 2003 This item is currently not available.

Brother Bear has a dramatic story--after he kills a bear, a young hunter named Kenai (voiced by Joaquin Phoenix, Gladiator) in prehistoric North America is turned into a bear himself and hunted by his own brother--but the animated movie's tone is more earnest and warm than tragic, focusing on the unfolding relationship between Kenai and an orphaned bear cub named Koda (voiced by Jeremy Suarez). However, it's often the comic supporting characters who prove the most popular, and a pair of moose voiced by Rick Moranis and Doug Thomas in their McKenzie brothers/Canadian dude mode (from SCTV and the movie Strange Brew) will win many fans. The songs by Phil Collins are typically negligible, but the hand-drawn animation is lush (occasional flashes of...

Disney's 1992 animated feature is a triumph of wit and skill. The high-tech artwork and graphics look great, the characters are strong, the familiar story is nicely augmented with an interesting villain (Jafar, voiced by Jonathan Freeman), and there's an incredible hook atop the whole thing: Robin Williams's frantically hilarious vocal performance as Aladdin's genie. Even if one isn't particularly moved by the love story between the title character (Scott Weinger) and his girlfriend Jasmine (Linda Larkin), you can easily get lost in Williams's improvisational energy and the equally entertaining performances of Freeman and Gilbert Gottfried (as Jafar's parrot). --Tom KeoghMore Info about this DVD Director(s): John Musker - Ron Clements DVD Release Date: Released the 05 October 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

It always comes up when people are comparing their most traumatic movie experiences: "the death of Bambi's mother," a recollection that can bring a shudder to even the most jaded filmgoer. That primal separation (which is no less stunning for happening off-screen) is the centerpiece of Bambi, Walt Disney's 1942 animated classic, but it is by no means the only bold stroke in the film. In its swift but somehow leisurely 69 minutes, Bambi covers a year in the life of a young deer. But in a bigger way, it measures the life cycle itself, from birth to adulthood, from childhood's freedom to grown-up responsibility. All of this is rendered in cheeky, fleet-footed style--the movie doesn't lecture, or make you feel you're being fed something that's good for you. The animation is...
