The Lion King 1 ½ | comment |
The Lion King 1 ½, released in many countries as The Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata, is the second sequel to Disney's The Lion King (1994), released in 2004.The film is a part-prequel, part-Perspective Flip of the original Lion King from Timon and Pumbaa's perspective. Both characters were already the first to get their own spin-off in Timon & Pumbaa, which, while not outright stated, this film seems to draw heavy inspiration from. The film follows the origin story of Timon and Pumbaa (mainly Timon) prior to the first film, and the hijinks they got up to offscreen during the rest of it.Following the Shakespearean tradition of the movies, 1 ½ bears more than a few similarities to the extra-Shakespearean Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. | |

Tempting Fate: Early in the film, Uncle Max says he “hasn’t seen any sign of Timon’s handiwork anywhere�. Cue the ceiling falling in. When Timon and Pumbaa are trying out their "steam home", one of the perks listed by the former is that there are no unexpected visitors. Enter the hyenas during "Be Prepared". "Aw, why not? One more run won't change our lives!" It's this specific "bowling for buzzards" event that leads them to meeting Simba, although it at least doesn't ruin their lives (the implication being it'd change the course of their lives). | |

Asskicking Leads to Leadership | |
The Lion King 1 ½ / int_1cc527d7 | comment |
Asskicking Leads to Leadership: How the film views its setting's monarchy. On the one hand, lions have much better homes than meerkats and get more respect. On the other, they have to actively protect said homes from usurpers, their jobs are much more complex than "scurry, sniff, flinch", and lions are so rare that they cannot abandon their roles for any reason. When Timon leaves his colony, there are no negative repercussions; when Simba does the same thing, people die, and it's his responsibility to fix everything by attacking Scar head-on. | |

Back Blocking: Timon is in the middle of one of his "look beyond what you see" moments when he suddenly recoils and exclaims, "Hey! How am I supposed to look beyond what I see, beyond that?" From his POV, we see a backside view of Pumbaa. Pumbaa apologies and moves aside, revealing the ravine where the wildebeest stampede from the original movie took place. | |

Easter Egg: There are exactly 20 hidden Mickeys scattered throughout the film which includes the actual Mickey at the very end of the movie. The original DVD release included a special "Hidden Mickey Hunt" mode meant for locating said hidden Mickeys, where indicators would show up on the screen when a hidden Mickey was about to appear on the screen. A list of the locations of the Mickeys (including timestamps) can be found here. | |

Ambiguously Jewish | |
The Lion King 1 ½ / int_2be15316 | comment |
Ambiguously Jewish: The meerkats' colony evoke a kibbutz or a ghetto, everybody seeming to work for the well-being of the community. Timon mentions how the meerkats are low in the food chain (confirmed by Uncle Max), which is reminiscent of the Jewish diaspora's past condition in many European and Middle Eastern countries. On a darker note, the attacks on meerkats by the hyenas, apparently gratuitous since they are chasing them more for fun than for food, also reminisces greatly the "occasional" pogroms against Jews, who were led as much out of antisemitism as in the goal to rob their possessions. The colony seems to be surrounded by constant exterior threats, to the point that sentinels are driven mad by paranoia after too much time at this position. This tells it all from an Israeli point of view. The meerkats, save Timon's mom, shun Timon for letting the hyenas get the drop on them. Shunning is a known practice (although not a religiously exclusive one) regarding pariahs in the Orthodox Jewish community.note It's also something actual meerkats do, albeit much more aggressively, and almost exclusively to pregnant females. When Timon feels the need to express his feelings on parenthood and Simba growing up, his first instinct is to sing "Sunrise, Sunset," from Fiddler on the Roof, a musical about Jewish family and tradition. The ending of the movie even involves Timon leading his people to the "Promised Land." Timon's mom calls him a meshuggeneh, meaning "lunatic" or "troublemaker" in Yiddish (she also bears a bit of the possessive personality of the Jewish Mother). Additionnally, a detail from the animated series says Timon's last name is Berkowitz— an Ashkenazi Jewish name. With the exception of Timon himself, every member of Timon's family is played by a Jewish comedian. | |

Annoyingly Repetitive Child: At various points in the "Parenthood" montage, Simba asks Timon to take him to the other side of the log bridge so he can pee behind a bush. Timon soon snaps and yells at him for waking him up all the time, but he quickly calms down when Simba reveals he had a nightmare. | |

G-Rated Sex | |
The Lion King 1 ½ / int_5cbb2384 | comment |
G-Rated Sex: The "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" sequence, which was already this trope, becomes even more risque through a very clever little bit of referencing — namely that in the original, pre-production version of the song, the scene carried on well after the pair's tumble down the hill. In that version, Nala winds sensually around Simba before leading him away towards a waterfall, where it's made very clear that they have sex. Sure enough, in this movie, the scene lingers just long enough to see Nala wind around Simba and then walk off with him towards the waterfalls. | |

Freeze-Frame Bonus: After Timon and Pumbaa distract many hyenas with the Hula, they are chased into a cave by only three, then scare them away with Pumbaa's smell. Through slow-play and freeze frames you can see that these hyenas are not anonymous as in the original distraction, but in fact Shenzi, Banzai and Ed. | |

During the montage of Simba’s childhood in the jungle, he also was going over a waterfall, with Timon trying to save him; Pumbaa rescued Simba, but Timon fell over (and lived). | |

Adaptational Badass: The hyenas are obviously a much larger threat to the meerkats and Pumbaa than they were to the lions in the original film, and while then they (or at least the main three) were Not-So-Harmless Villains, here they qualify for the Big Bad position, posing a much graver threat to the heroes of this film. | |

Final Battle | |
The Lion King 1 ½ / int_830b0ac9 | comment |
The continuity gets even more confused around the Final Battle. If Timon and Pumbaa had distracted the hyenas from following Simba, the hyenas couldn't have been there to hear Scar say they were the villains. It also turns Scar's fall into a true Disney Villain Death. While it could be interpreted that the trio were able to hear Scar’s betrayal then double back for Timon and Pumbaa, then the tunnel deposited them at the base of Pride Rock in time for them to meet and eat Scar, the elapsed time seems a bit short for that. There's also a chance the hyenas that heard Scar call them the enemies were separate from Shenzi, Banzai and Ed, as there are multiple unnamed hyenas seen in the original film, though the hyenas who heard it in the original film clearly have Shenzi, Banzai and Ed's character models. | |

They also reference Apocalypse Now, Mystery Science Theater 3000, The Sixth Sense, Casablanca and Bowling for Columbine. | |

Denser and Wackier: Naturally for a Timon and Pumbaa-centric story, the tone of the film is more comedic and cartoonish than the first two, with the Mystery Science Theater 3000-inspired Framing Device and the title card being signs that this movie doesn't take itself too seriously. Fairly in-tone with the 1995 TV series, albeit less wilder. | |

Been There, Shaped History | |
The Lion King 1 ½ / int_9a1d239e | comment |
Been There, Shaped History: Timon and Pumbaa run into several scenes from the first movie, and actually set a few minor events into motion. For example, at Simba's presentation by Rafiki, it's revealed that the reason the animals all bow is because Pumbaa breaks wind at the wrong time, causing a number of animals to faint, which everyone in front mistakes for bowing. In "I Just Can't Wait to Be King," it's revealed that the reason the tower of animals collapses is because Timon whacks the leg of one of the elephants at the base with a stick, causing him to panic and lose his balance. Timon and Pumbaa also try to ruin Simba and Nala's reunion after years of separation but accidentally make it more romantic, and a bit more painful for Timon. | |

Continuity Nod: Doubling as a funny moment and (as usual for him) a bit of Leaning on the Fourth Wall, this moment when Timon is talking to cub Simba after he keeps waking up in the middle of the night to go across the log from the first movie. Also, in a cross with Homage Shot, during the climax when Shenzi is leaping to pounce and eat Timon, the scene is framed (complete with slow-mo and a fiery backdrop) the same way as Scar's final leap toward Simba. In the trailer, Timon bemoans the preliminary title "The Lion King III" and tries to take out one of the I's, only for Pumbaa to tell him he can't do that because "There's already been a 'two'!" After Simba's coronation, Timon and Pumbaa continue living in their jungle home, with Simba being implied to visit from time to time, much like in the TV series. | |

Rule of Funny | |
The Lion King 1 ½ / int_a60e3252 | comment |
The pace of the movie tends to screw with the timeframe of the original Lion King, largely for Rule of Funny. For example, Timon and Pumbaa find their first home on the day Simba is born. Right after, Timon is woken up by "I Just Can't Wait To Be King - he and Pumbaa act as though it's the next day (as it sells the "just moved into a place only to find out its terrible" Running Gag), even though there would've had to have been months if not years between the two events. Likewise Timon's mother leaves to find him before the two meet Simba but only tracks him down after Simba is an adult, yet acts like little time has passed when they find each other. On the flipside, the movie adds days (at least) of time between other events from the first movie to allow for events for Timon and Pumbaa's story to happen - for example Timon and Pumbaa move to their jungle after the wildebeest stampede, which implies Simba has been wandering all by himself in the desert for many days. It's all very tongue in cheek, however. | |

The Lion King 1 ½ / int_aca32000 | comment |
Armor-Piercing Response: Max and the colony are angry with Timon for not alerting them to the hyenas’ attack and nearly getting Max killed, and Timon tries to smooth things over. After learning from Nala that Simba is on his way back to the Pridelands to take them back from Scar, Timon obstinately refuses to join in the effort due to feeling betrayed that Simba would choose to abandon their idyllic lifestyle to "run off to be "his highness" and unwilling to leave the paradise he spent so long searching for. This leads to Timon getting into an argument with Pumbaa over the prospect of having to leave their home and lifestyle to help their friend, concluding with Pumbaa calling him out on his selfishness. | |

Epic Fail: Timon really stinks at digging tunnels like the other meerkats, with it mentioning that he's caused four tunnel networks to cave-in within a week. All of Timon and Pumbaa's attempts to break Simba and Nala apart. The best example is when Timon throws a large beehive at the lions...only to leave behind the bees, which float above him. Predictably, he ends up getting stung. | |

Series Continuity Error: Although the movie is likely canon, there are many little problems that make it difficult to put together exactly how. The pace of the movie tends to screw with the timeframe of the original Lion King, largely for Rule of Funny. For example, Timon and Pumbaa find their first home on the day Simba is born. Right after, Timon is woken up by "I Just Can't Wait To Be King - he and Pumbaa act as though it's the next day (as it sells the "just moved into a place only to find out its terrible" Running Gag), even though there would've had to have been months if not years between the two events. Likewise Timon's mother leaves to find him before the two meet Simba but only tracks him down after Simba is an adult, yet acts like little time has passed when they find each other. On the flipside, the movie adds days (at least) of time between other events from the first movie to allow for events for Timon and Pumbaa's story to happen - for example Timon and Pumbaa move to their jungle after the wildebeest stampede, which implies Simba has been wandering all by himself in the desert for many days. It's all very tongue in cheek, however. Timon had already met Rafiki before going to Pride Rock in this movie, but he still asks Nala "Who's the monkey?" moments after the mandrill' Stealth Hi/Bye in the original movie. The continuity gets even more confused around the Final Battle. If Timon and Pumbaa had distracted the hyenas from following Simba, the hyenas couldn't have been there to hear Scar say they were the villains. It also turns Scar's fall into a true Disney Villain Death. While it could be interpreted that the trio were able to hear Scar’s betrayal then double back for Timon and Pumbaa, then the tunnel deposited them at the base of Pride Rock in time for them to meet and eat Scar, the elapsed time seems a bit short for that. There's also a chance the hyenas that heard Scar call them the enemies were separate from Shenzi, Banzai and Ed, as there are multiple unnamed hyenas seen in the original film, though the hyenas who heard it in the original film clearly have Shenzi, Banzai and Ed's character models. | |

Self-Referential Humor: When Timon and Pumbaa find themselves in the middle of "I Just Can't Wait to be King", Timon complains, "Oh, perfect! We moved into the theater district." Considering that The Lion King had been running on Broadway for eight years by the time this film came out, they technically already had moved into the theater district. This is especially funny considering Nathan Lane, who got his start on Broadway, is the one delivering the line. | |

Hypocrite: Subverted. Rafiki appears to become this because of an unfortunate Retcon from the original movie. He comes up with the idea of Hakuna Matata and introduces it to Timon, only in the first movie to chastise Simba for living the lifestyle he encouraged Timon to live out. However, Timon was a lowly meerkat with no responsibilities to the circle of life; Simba was the rightful king who was needed to keep the circle of life going. Furthermore, Rafiki was encouraging Timon to find his “Hakuna Matata� but meant it as finding the people he loved and was happy to spend his life with (as opposed to an unrestrained life of hedonism). | |

Ambiguously Gay: Maybe even dropping the "ambiguous" part. A lot of the movie, especially regarding Timon's relationship with his family, seems to play this up as straight as possible, with little gems like this scene◊. Also, a mushy scene of Timon and Pumbaa staring into one another's eyes causes Timon, in the "audience", to start crying to the point where the movie has to be "paused" for him to recover. A later scene even has them accidentally sharing a Spaghetti Kiss while eating an earthworm, though they aren’t happy about it. | |

Seeking the Intangible | |
The Lion King 1 ½ / int_e4ede8c9 | comment |
Seeking the Intangible: The movie focuses on Timon, who takes things literally. He searches for Hakuna Matata after being told to do so by Rafiki, and goes to find it "beyond what he can see", which he takes to mean beyond the big pointy rock that he saw on the horizon. | |

Jaw Drop: Pumbaa and the hyenas' reactions to when Timon proposes to Shenzi (as a distraction). | |

Expy: One of the meerkats singing "Digga Tunnah" is this to Timon's practical-joking friend Fred from Timon & Pumbaa. He is seen popping up and saying "Dig!" at the end of the song. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Even Ed is completely dumbfounded when Timon proposes to Shenzi, despite it being a very, very funny moment. | |

Crossover Punchline | |

Crossover Punchline: At the very end, several characters of the Disney Animated Canon show up uninvited at the theater to re-watch the whole movie with Timon and his friends and family. | |

Moment Killer | |
The Lion King 1 ½ / int_ece6f910 | comment |
Moment Killer: Timon and Pumbaa try their best to ruin the moments between Nala and Simba. Subverted, it only brings them closer together and injures Timon horrifically. | |

Homage Shot | |
The Lion King 1 ½ / int_efa2d938 | comment |
Also, in a cross with Homage Shot, during the climax when Shenzi is leaping to pounce and eat Timon, the scene is framed (complete with slow-mo and a fiery backdrop) the same way as Scar's final leap toward Simba. | |

Glad I Thought of It: The first time Timon does this (he has to "look beyond the big pointy rock"), Pumbaa looks mildly confused. Then he just goes with it. | |

Sarcastic Clapping: While giving Timon the low down on the basics of sentry duty, Uncle Max goes off on a melodramatic tangent about the perils of the savannah and all the predators that may be out there waiting to attack the colony ("the fraught fest," as his nephew calls it), leading Timon to resort to this: | |

Woken Up at an Ungodly Hour: During the "parenthood" montage, Simba repeatedly wakes Timon up to take him to pee behind a bush at night. Timon eventually reaches his Rage Breaking Point when Simba awakens him once again, only to soften up when Simba reveals he had a nightmare. | |

Comically Missing the Point: Timon takes Rafiki's advice to "look beyond what you see" a little too literally. Timon’s Ma even chews out Rafiki for it, knowing how literally Timon takes things. | |
