The Lion King 1½

Finally, someone thought about the parents when creating this extended padding. So yes, it tends to target younger audience and in terms of quality and ambition it's miles away from the original film, but the creators obviously enjoyed it and felt sorry for the adults who have to watch it with their kids and that's how they conceived it in a real meta-crazy way on a (self) parody wave, where there is a reference in every scene (and mostly not bad at all). References range from Casablanca to Leone to other Disney movies. On the one hand, thanks to that, adults will also have fun, but at the same time in terms of the overall style it is quite obvious that the target group are pre-school children, on the other hand... I wish most of the x-th famous video rental movies were just like this one. (08/26/2016)

It is aimed solely at the youngest audience this time, but it works. This animal sequel can still make you laugh, and thanks to the games in the style of "do you know how it was back then?", it is a very dignified and pleasantly surprising conclusion to the series. (02/18/2006)
