The Lion King 1½: Hakuna matata - Nathan Lane, Ernie Sabella, Julie Kavner, Bradley Raymond

Threat advisory: Under evaluation

Movie propaganda

Hilarity reigns in this all-new motion picture starring Timon (Nathan Lane) and his windy pal Pumbaa (Ernie Sabella) - the greatest unsung heroes of the savannah! Featuring the song That's all I need by Elton John and Tim Rice, The Lion King 1½: hakuna matata takes you way back to the beginning before Simba's tale began... and beyond!

In this all-new comedy adventure, Timon and Pumbaa reveal where they came from, when they met and how they helped Simba (Matthew Broderick) save the Serengeti. Their story includes glimpses into some big events from The Lion King that look a little different from Timon and Pumbaa's perspective - such as when King Mufasa introduced baby Simba to the animal kingdom. Let's just say there was something surprising about that dramatic moment when all the animals bowed to their new ruler! With all your favourite characters, two new comedic characters - Simon's mother (Julie Kavner) and Uncle Max (Jerry Stiller) - the music you love and more, get ready for some king-sized fun with Timon and Pumbaa!
