It's over already?
@15kuki
I forgot how much I love this ridiculous movie =D
Definitely one of the most underrated Disney sequels
@PGMVids
I agree completely! Love this movie!
@yoelarmasjr.5660
"Please remain seated while the camera's in motion"
@sampeacaml9307
And one of the best with Simba's Pride and Ariel's Beginning.
@trainlover-yo3lp
I love the lion king franchise
@MrMeatyFan-pc7io
@sampea CAML I definitely prefer Ariel’s Beginning over Return to the Sea which is a common copy of the first film
@ldmcknight1042
Why I love this is because it makes Timon feel more like a father and friend than in the first movie by knowing that his own “tribe” didn’t accept him and his hakuna matata it’s not only “no worries” but also his friends and how much they mean to him
@alphonsejohnson5601
The lion king is one of the very few Disney franchises to have good movies. Simba's pride and 1 1/2 are very good sequel/midquel in their own right.
@BG-be8di
yeah, that's what I liked about the movie, it made Timon feel relatable for us, as well like a father and friend.. and it hurt that he was rejected for not being able to fit in for being the way he is and different.. Also, the concept of hakuna matata expanded that it was not just a way of being or living carefreely, but also a life with friends is a life without worries, and that his friends really meant a lot to him
@paulgering7703
“The child rejected by the tribe will burn it down to feel its warmth.”
Really did not apply here.
