[edit] Prequel?

This isn't really a prequel, is it? I haven't seen it, but from the previews, it seems to be taking place at the same time as the original Lion King. RickK 07:24, Aug 22, 2004 (UTC)

As far as I know, the movie starts before the The Lion King has started, but it roughly tells the same story from a different perspective, so I agree that it's not a real prequel. --Conti|✉ 22:51, Aug 22, 2004 (UTC)

According to the film's own publicity, it's neither a prequel nor a sequel, it's an "inbetween-quel". —Preceding unsigned comment added by MrItty (talk • contribs) 13:13, 5 November 2004 (UTC)

I live in Britain, and have a straight-to-video film called "Timon and Pumbaa" which was released years ago, before Lion King 2. Yet, it seems to roughly or exactly the same film as Lion King 1.5. I'm not getting confused with the TV series "Timon and Pumbaa", though I'd always presumed that was spun off from the "Timon and Pumbaa" film. Was it re-named for its DVD release? Has anyone else seen it? boffy_b 16:48, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

I think it is along the words of 'companion movie' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.144.236 (talk) 18:43, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Song of the South

I deleted the part about Song of the South being "banned" purely because the statement is inaccurate. (Ibaranoff24 04:55, 6 January 2006 (UTC))

[edit] False tag?

Does this article really require the stub tag? Rlloyd3 03:17, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Doubt it. I'll go remove it. Blue Phoenix 13:53, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Relationship to Shakespeare's Hamlet

The Lion King is not entirely based on Hamlet; there are certain key plot elements from the Shakespeare that do not appear in the film, such as Gertrude marrying Claudius after King Hamlet dies. Skiasaurus 14:40, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

In addition, Simba is neither Danish nor human.

[edit] P.S.'s

Note: If you are going to put any of these, put them on this page only! Thank you. Apple1013 03:20, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lion King 3

For some reason in the UK this was released as "The Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata", yet this isn't mentioned at all in the article. I think it should be mentioned pretty early on. If you don't believe me, here's the evidence http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lion-King-3-Hakuna-Matata/dp/B000163X1G/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1196349856&sr=8-1 Jamandell (d69) (talk) 15:30, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Strange errors

With one of the last edits, some errors in grammar occured. E.g. "Teenage Simba from the snail slurping contest As an adult, Simba re-encounters his childhood friend Nala, and Timon and Pumbaa try everything to stop Simba from falling in love with her.". Please repair this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.84.69.20 (talk) 00:02, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
