DVD Review - Lion King 1 1/2 & 2

About the DVD
Recently Disney releases THE LION KING 1.5 and THE LION KING 2: Simba's Pride on Special Edition Blu-ray Combo Pack! Go back to the jungle with Timon, Pumbaa in The Lion King 1.5 to discover the dynamic duo's origins and how they came to save the Serengeti. Follow Simba's daughter, Kiara, in The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride as she seeks out her own adventure. The original voice cast returns for each film to expand the tales of the circle of life!


THE LION KING 1.5: Special Edition
Hilarity reigns in the motion picture comedy-adventure that takes you waaay back to the beginning before Simba’s tale began…now more fabulous than ever for the first time in a 2-disc Blu-ray Combo Pack!

From their uniquely hysterical perspective, Timon and his windy pal Pumbaa—the greatest unsung heroes of the savanna—reveal where they came from, how they helped Simba save the Serengeti and what really happened behind the scenes of The Lion King’s biggest events.

This essential chapter of The Lion King trilogy features your favorite characters voiced by the original cast (Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, Ernie Sabella plus Julie Kavner and Jerry Stiller) and music by Elton John and Tim Rice. You’ll feel the love for every outrageously funny moment.

My Take on the DVD
Both of these movies were so much fun for the whole family. The first movie has a humor that was all its own and the second was a great addition to the original story of the Lion King. I shared the movies with my daughters as they had never seen these in the past and they simply loved them. I think that they did enjoy the second more than the first, but they still thought that the retelling of the original through the eyes of Timon and Pumba was so funny (which I did as well). Overall though these were great additions to our Disney collection and if you are fans you too will want these in yours as well!
