Did You Think It Was A Little Offensive When...

[Nitro]

I think i might watch it again, just for the Simba parts.

[DGFone]

I only watch it for the "Lion Sleeps Tonight" part. It's effectively the only good part.

[Nitro]

Yeah, pretty much.

[quote="PrincessKiara"][quote="Amy43"]It offended me. Not only is it an important scene that they're moking, it's a very sad tragedy.[/quote]

Exactly.

I dislike Timon and Pumbaa, although they can have certain moments where they amuse me. But for the most part I just find them stupid and annoying.

I really don`t think they needed their own movie, because they have their own (bad) TV show already. I actually watched a few episodes of this many years ago, when it was airing on TV on Sunday mornings.. But even back then, I didn`t find it funny, so my age has got nothing to do with me not liking them, the fact is I never have.

I`ve only watched this movie once, and I`m NOT watching it again.[/quote]
My thoughts exactly. They mocked a very important scene that (I think) should have been treated with respect. I never liked Timon and Pumbaa and I never will. And them mocking the Stampede scene doesn't help much.

[Nitro]

How do you think they mocked it?

[SummerSnowLeopard]

Timon and Pumbaa's attitude about everything. I know that they didn't do this intentionally but I just didn't find this "little joke" funny. I hate them - even more because of them being in the Stampede Scene.

EDIT: DX Double post DX Sorry! I'll try to put this into some use later in the thread...somehow.

So you hate them just because they accidentally wandered into the gorge where Mufasa died and Simba's life was ruined?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion I guess. I didn't really find it offensive though. While TLK 3 wasn't as good as it could have been I don't think T and P were contributors to that.

Thank you! My point exactly! I just don't understand how people can despise fictional characters. Sure, lots of people can dislike them but to find fault in everything they do and say its offensive? Yeah, they wandered into a gorge. Well in the scene where Simba is running back to the Pridelands, you can see that he passes through it too but you don't hate him, do you?
