Did you get dissapointed?

[sharonwilson]

loved it ....not disappointed at alll

[Korsah]

I felt a little' bit dissapointed. In my humble opinion, too much time devoted to Timon's childhood. I would rather see much more about Simba growing up as a teenager with Timon & Pumbaa, or some more adventures of Simba as a cub, or even Nala's childhood - which we know very little.

I TOTALLY agree with you on that one, Korsah!

[Moka]

It's The LION KING not The Adventures of Timon the Pooh!

But yeah Korsah brings up a great point. Very little time was spent with the Hakuna Matata gang while Simba was growing up, in fact they had to do a quick slideshow to get past it and move on to stuff we'd already seen in the original TLK. How annoying.

Oh yeah, that was really annoying >.> When I first saw the cute screenshots I was like "Oh good there's going to be a lot about Simba as a cub!" Sadly I was mistaken.

I was really hoping that they would show alot of Cub Simba with the Hakuna Matata gang, but stead m they show that

I was just really, really, REALLY dissapointed in that too. After SP, which I consider as great as TLK, they came up with this. And then the parts in the cinema.... they even had a part where they "zapped" to a wrong channel or something.

Even when I re-watched SP yesterday with Thani, we were annoyed by those "intermezzo's" where that warthog and Timon show up.

I really feel sad for Pumbaa as well, beeing nitpicked on by Timon, who is a failure himself (what we can see really good in that 3rd movie where Timon brings his whole clan in danger)

Well, the reason why the filmmakers did what they did was to follow the example the first two films set forth, actually.

All three movies are based on something to do with Shakespeare. The first movie was based on the play Hamlet, the second on Romeo and Juliet.

LK3 was based on a play by Tom Stoppard called Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. The play basically takes minor characters from Hamlet and illustrates what they thought and what there were doing while the main action of their originating storyline went on.

Nothing in the LK universe is really original, you know. It was all based on something. So as unconnected as LK3 seems to the other two movies, it actually fits right in.

Well,it might be connected in that way,but an actual sequel with a new storyline would have been better.IMO

Well, of course. I was just saying that the filmmakers didn't just do what they did randomly.

I could see a sequel based on Shakespeare's The Twelfth Night (which is roughly about a girl dressing as a guy and accidentally getting another girl to fall in love with her) happening. I could've sworn that Vitani was a male character for most of the movie the first time I saw it. xD She could fit that part.
