I don't know if this was asked before or not, but recently I randomly thought of this and I am wondering what you guys think:
Would the movie have been better if it didn't try to simply force Timon and Pumbaa into every scene from the first movie?
I know that this statement isn't exactly true, but for the most part, 1.5 does indeed do just that. It will take a scene from the first movie, like the "IJCWTBK" sequence, or "Be Prepared", and forcefully insert Timon and Pumbaa in there.
Wouldn't the movie have been better if it used more original scenes or stick with "TLK 1 from the perspective of T&P"?
