Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile "The Lion King" is inspired by "Hamlet," this film clearly takes inspiration from the play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead," which features the events of "Hamlet" through the eyes of two minor characters.
- GoofsDuring the entire film, Rafiki appears to be Timon's mentor, yet in the first Lion King film---when Rafiki says what happened to Simba--Timon asks, "Who's the monkey?"

- Crazy creditsThe first few credits "fall apart."
- Alternate versionsThe French track on the DVD plays (in English) "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" during the end credits instead of "Grazing in the Grass" performed by Raven and "That's All I Need Reprise" performed by Timon.

Written by Harry J. Listopn and Philemon Hou
Performed by Raven-Symoné (as Raven)
Produced and Arranged by Robbie Buchanan
Timon and Pumbaa are the leads here, with Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella assuring things stay amusing. If those two didn't reprise their roles then it would've been a boring mess. Most of the main characters from 'The Lion King' return at some point too, with Matthew Broderick (Simba) and Robert Guillaume (Rafiki) notably reappearing.
The plot is exceptionally fairly funny, as we get an alternate look of how the 1994 film went down. It shouldn't be enjoyable but it actually is, helped by Lane & Sabella alongside the strong animation.
Not one to be taken seriously, just one to have a laid-back time with.
