Review of The Lion King 1½ (2004) by Jose Gabriel S — 08 Feb 2015
One of the few good Disney sequel films. It works because unlike other direct to DVD sequels it doesn't try to be an epic follow up of the first film but rather it goes back to the events of the original film and instead pokes fun at it in a refreshing new way.
It takes away the weight from trying to be superior and just tries to have a good time with big laughs. I especially liked the Mystery Science Theatre 300 format it took. A nice modern twist and refreshing take with the two funny comedy reliefs.
With that being said The Lion King 1/2 is probably one of my favourite disney sequel (or should I say midquel?) for it's own unique take. If you loved the first film you'll find no reason to not enjoy this little fun ride :).
