Lion King 1 1/2 From Another Character's Viewpoint?

[FlipMode]

I don't know about the rest of you, but personally I would have liked to see it from Zira and the rest of the outlanders perspetive. Since it is actually hinted at in TLK 2 that they were actually there in the first place, whereas in TLK 3 itself we are suddenly supposed to just believe that Timon and Pumba were there despite there being no previous evidence to suggest that... TLK 3 felt very false, and the plot was so silly that it lost the immersion of the first two.

It is still a good film though, the visual and sound quality are still there, and it is kind of funnyish at times, but yeah I personally felt like the plot was a load of garbage, I do not consider that Timon and Pumbaa were ever there in the beginning, because it feels so tacked on in TLK 3 and its just painfully obvious that they were actually never there.

I would have loved soo much if they had done a prequel to TLK from Scar's point of view. It would be a bit on the sadder sad--his story doesn't end well, as we all know--but I think it would be interesting enough (if done right) that it would leave people with sympathy and awe for Scar, paralleled with the cruel opinion they have of him in TLK, rather than depression or such. Movies can have sadder endings without making it really depressing or something. It could be a little dark for younger kids, but there are PLENTY of older fans who would really appreciate it, and the younger ones could watch it once they're older.

I would love to see it through Rafiki's eyes or Sarabi's maybe even Scar, i'd love to see there emotions. MAYBE MUFASA!

Or why not through Simba's eyes again, he is the main character of the trilogy, isn't he?
(and my fav character too hehehe )

Scar or Nala for sure. I remember how upset I was when I found out they were adding "The Morning Report" into the original movie. If they were to add in a song from the musical, Why not "Shadowland"!? It would have added so much to the plot and so much to Nala's character and story (as well as Scar's) It's the most beautiful and emotional song in the musical...and I guess maybe I just answered my own question. Perhaps "Shadowland" was simply too dark for the youngsters...not to mention Scar harassing Nala (but they could have changed that) "The Morning Report" was fun, but certainly not the musical song I would have chosen. "The Madness of King Scar" would have been amazing in the movie, too!

Yes, yes...I totally agree. I'm all in support of a pre-equal but somehow I doubt Disney would do it right. I don't think they want us to feel sympathy for the villains, especially one like Scar who pulls off one of the worst crimes imaginable. Nonetheless some of us do and I for one refuse to believe anyone is "born evil". If they would acknowledge that I think we'd have a marvelous story on our hands, perhaps even one to rival the original. I'd love to see the "tale of two brothers", it would answer so many questions.

As for 1/2, I don't take it too seriously...especially the scenes where Timon and Pumbaa show up everywhere. It's utter nonsense lol! I am a Timon fan so it was cute to see his back story and the scenes with Simba were adorable (but his new cub voice threw me off) The animation and sound was awesome in it, more like the original than SP, but for the most part it's somewhat of a parody of the original.
