The Lion King 1½ is a 2004 direct-to-video animated film released by Buena Vista Home Entertainment on February 10, 2004. This middle-of-the-road feature retells the story of the 1994 blockbuster, The Lion King, in Timon and Pumbaa's perspective.
Dialogue
- Pumbaa: (twice during the film) Uh...I don't do so well in crowds.
- Rafiki: To find Hakuna Matata, you must look beyond what you see.
- Timon: This could be the start of a beautiful...acquaintanceship.
- Timon: (about Simba) He's gone? Whaddaya mean he's gone?!
- Nala: It's just like the baboon said. The king has returned. [Timon and Pumbaa stare at her blankly] (sighs) You guys want me to go over it again?
- Timon: Yes please, but be a dear and skip to the part about Simba. Not that your childhood wasn't fascinating!
- Nala: Okay. Look, Simba's the rightful king, but after he disappeared, Scar proclaimed himself the king and formed an alliance with the hyenas...
- [As Nala talks, Timon and Pumbaa stop listening.]
- Pumbaa: (thinks) Poor Simba. The treachery! The villainy! The sheer indescribable horror!
- Timon: (thinks) Blah blah blah. Why is she toying with us? This crazy chick is gonna eat us!
- Nala: ...So Simba has to go back to challenge his uncle and reclaim his place as king! [Timon and Pumbaa stare blankly at her.] Ohh, don't you get it?! Simba needs us! Now!
- [The scene repeatedly goes back and forth between a night scene where Simba wakes up Timon and a day scene where Timon is harmed during one of Simba's antics.]
- Simba: Timon, Timon! TIMON! (Timon grunts) I gotta go!
- Timon: (Voice very faint) Go? Go where?
- Simba: You know: Go! Bad!
- Timon: [gets the idea] Oh, you mean go?! Then why didn't you say so?! Come on, let's go!
- (On the log bridge)
- Timon: Listen, kid, when you gotta go, you gotta go!
- (On a very high tree, "Jungle Boogie" plays)
- Timon: Young lion, get down from there!
- Simba: Yahoo! All right! Hey, you guys look like ants down there!
- Timon: I'm counting to three!
- (Simba jumps onto a weak branch, it breaks)
- Pumbaa: Uh oh!
- (Simba continues to fall)
- Timon: 1! 1!
- (Pumbaa jumps onto Timon, making a pillow for Simba to land on)
- Timon: [gasps for air] 3.
- ("The Lion Sleeps Tonight" starts again)
- Simba: Timon?
- Timon: What? Again?!
- Simba: No, I'm thirsty.
- [cut back to the log bridge]
- Timon: You know, kid, this means you'll be up again about 2 hours from now.
- [cut to a river leading to a waterfall. "Jungle Boogie" plays while Simba swims peacefully; a floating camera captures Timon swimming vigorously]
- Timon: Hang on, Simba! I'll save ya!
- [Simba goes off the waterfall; Pumbaa catches him]
- ("The Lion Sleeps Tonight" Plays Yet Again)
- Simba: Timon? (frowns)
- (Back to the log bridge)
- Timon: (extremely tired) You know, I'm gonna get old walking over this thing.
- [Simba Pounces Timon in the Air, "Jungle Boogie" plays for a final time; Timon screams; "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" plays again]
- Simba: Timon?
- [the music stops; Timon grabs his ears in stress]
- Timon: What have you got against the concept of a good night's sleep?! Huh?!
- Simba: Actually, I had a bad dream.
- [at the end of the film]
- Timon: Well, that's it. The big wrap-up. The happy ending. The grand finale.
- Pumbaa: It's over already?
- Timon: Well, Pumbaa, that's the thing about endings. They come at the end.
- Pumbaa: Oh, can we watch it again?
- Timon: Pumbaa, we just saw it. Maybe tomorrow.
- Ma: [enters] Hey, what're you guys doin'? [notices the film and gasps] You didn't tell me you were watching the movie! I wanna watch, too!
- Timon: Ma! We just finished! Show's over!
- Ma: Well, you're just gonna hafta rewind it. [runs the film back]
- Timon: Ma!
- Ma: Uncle Max! We're gonna watch the movie!
- Timon: Oh, no!
- Max: [enters with popcorn] Hey, I brought extra butter!
- Simba: [enters] Hey, you guys are watching the movie?
- Rafiki: [enters with laughter] Any story worth telling is worth telling twice!
- [many a Disney character enters the theater]
- Timon: What the--?
- Snow White: Oh, excuse me.
- Dwarves: [one by one, save for Grumpy] Excuse me.
- Grumpy: Get outta the way.
- Timon: Who is this crowd? Hey! Down in front!
- [Stitch bounces repeatedly from one character to another]
- Goofy: Gawrsh!
- Stitch: Aloha!
- [Peter Pan crows like a rooster]
- Timon: Watch it!
- [he gets stuck in between two characters, then approaches Pumbaa]
- Timon: Okay, buddy. You win.
- Pumbaa: Sure you don't mind?
- Timon: Hakuna matata.
- [he grabs the remote and starts the film]
- Pumbaa: Timon, I still don't do so well in crowds.
