I think Disney must have thought that adding a funnier, more kid friendly movie would make up for all the tragedy that filled the first movie.
I liked how they made Rafiki the origin of Hakuna Matata....
but then again, I don't like how they placed situations that could have made certain occurences occur, I liked the mystery of it all. Movies don't really let you decide what happens, and 1 1/2 really ruined that kinda possibility.
It is kinda sad that the bowing was the result of a fart, though.

Yet from all the characters, I am glad they chose Timon and Pumbaa to follow, because after all, I wanted to know how Timon came to that place, without a family, and for Godsakes, a warthog!
