The Lion King 1½ (2004 Video)
Funny, witty, avoids most of the standard Disney sequel clichés
12 September 2004
Unlike other Disney sequels, this film is pretty good throughout. They make no attempt at making cheesy, subpar songs. Instead, they use real songs, even Lebo M's rendition of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" from his CD inspired by the Lion King (an excellent album).

Also unlike a few other Disney sequels, this film has an excellent animation style and good use of shading. The jokes are also absurd and fun. Excellent voice cast (Jerry Stiller!).

I think I enjoyed this film a little more than Lion King 2, mostly because it's so much fun and overlaps with Lion King 1. Of course, neither of the follow-ups can compete with the first.
