Did you know
• While "The Lion King" is inspired by "Hamlet," this film clearly takes inspiration from the play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead," which features the events of "Hamlet" through the eyes of two minor characters.
• Timon's story of leaving the meerkat colony is based on a short scene deleted from "Hakuna Matata" in The Lion King (1994).
• There are 20 total hidden Mickeys in the whole film, including Mickey Mouse.

Cute, Harmless Fun
Downright not awful!
Another great straight-to-video sequel/spoof, that's worth a theatrical treatment.
