About The Lion King 1½

The Lion King 1+1⁄2 (known internationally as The Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata) is a 2004 American animated direct-to-video musical comedy film directed by Bradley Raymond and produced by Disneytoon Studios. The third installment in the Lion King trilogy, the film focuses on the supporting characters Timon and Pumbaa. A majority of the voice cast from the first film returns to reprise their roles, including Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella as the voices of Timon and Pumbaa, respectively. The film's structure is inspired by Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, a tragicomedy that tells the story of Hamlet from the point of view of two minor characters. The Lion King 1+1⁄2 was released by Walt Disney Home Entertainment on February 10, 2004 and received generally positive reviews from critics.
