[quote="TheIvanMuse"][quote="atouchofgrace"]Humm... One thing I don't like about this movie (I enjoy it, I don't care if it's a parody): too much of Timon and Pumbaa. Yes it's about them, they're the protagonists but I was hoping for more Simba and Nala, (I was not expecting much Mufasa or Scar since Timon and Pumbaa don't have any kind of relationship with them). I was expecting more new scenes and interactions between the four. But after growing up, Simba was hardly in the movie, and Nala was completly gone after the "Who's the monkey?" scene. That let me down, especially after seeing so much time dedicated to Simba growing up.[/quote]

I completely agree with you. Timon and Pumbaa were WAY too exposed,I mean,they even had a TV show,why would you go ahead and dedicate another movie mostly to them. You'd think Disney would know better than that. Or not... :think:
Yes,more interactions between them would have been quite entertaining.
It's like Disney said: ''Okay,we got no more ideas,let's just re-do something from the past...'' I just hope that IF there is another sequel,which I would welcome with open paws,that it's no kind of a re-do,no subplot during other movies but a real legit sequel! Or better yet,prequel...[/quote]

But what you two fail to understand is while everybody can enjoy Disney movies, they are mostly focused on a younger age audience. That being said, young children don't really understand the significance of aspects such as pain, love, and all around emotion in movies. Young children focus on comedy. I can tell you this from experience, as I did the exact same thing. While I do like this movie, and I'm proud to have it in my collection, you must understand that Disney made this movie with one of two goals in mind:
1. Shed a little light on Timon and Pumba's past. Give the audience a little bit more to work with on how the dynamic duo came to be and give them a few more jokes to laugh at.
2. They saw a huge pile of cash and they wanted to be scrooge McDuck.

Either way explains why they put a lot of emphasis on Timon and Pumba.

...

And by the way Ivan, Disney could NEVER run out of ideas! Princess and the Frog shattered my expectations. :roar6:

The circle of life scene. The joke was just sick.

I disliked and liked the movie. xD But my least favorite part was..a little bit the end.
Don't know why.
And the parts when they took a break or something.

Rawr to you too,Simba66! ^^
Well,yeah sure they are focused on younger audiences but even the younger ones don't need a movie like TLK1 1/2, but something more like the original one. Yeah,it's all fun and comedy,but do we really need something that is only that,movies for kids are supposed to be just that. The original one had it all,not just comedy,but love,life lessons etc. Why would most kids have cried at Mufasa's death? Because it's left a huge impression on them,like it has on us. Whoever you ask,they'll tell you how much of a sad moment that was for them. So it's not all about comedy.
And I think the movies insignificance speaks for itself,cause even I,who was into TLK for a long time (forgot about it for some time,but that's some other story) have never even heard of it existing until I joined MLK. It's surely not a movie that you'd see under ''Disney Classics''.
The part you said about the cash is very true.
I didn't say they can ran out of ideas generally,I said that they ran out of ideas regarding the TLK universe. Cause when you don't have many ideas of something new being added to the plot,you get a movie like the one we have here.

My least favorite part was Timon's family part. "Digguh Tunnel..." :/

Just the Circle of Life parody. It ruined that majesty and powerfulness of the original scene just to make a fart joke. Plus, it contradicts the original scene because when Simba is lifted into the air, the animals instantly rejoice over him, but in this movie, they act like nothing happened.
