lol! what's this Lion King 1.5 about?

Basically it's a quasi-remake, that retells the story of Lion King. But it makes Timon and Pumbaa the stars, instead of the supporting characters. And focuses a large part of the story of T&P raising Simba. Which was glossed over pretty much in the actual movie. From the trailer on the Lion King DVD, it looks really good.

The Circle Of Life Will Never Be The Same.

Hilarity reigns in this all-new movie starring Timon and his windy pal Pumbaa - and featuring the new song, "That's All I Need"! Now in The Lion King 1½, see how things really happened - according to their perspective - in this rip-roaringly funny story within the story of The Lion King. The truth will be exposed about some "passed" events - such as when King Mufasa introduced his young heir to the animal kingdom. Let's just say there was something behind that dramatic moment when all the animals bowed to their new ruler!

In this all-new comedy-adventure, Timon and Pumbaa reveal the true hullabaloo behind their departures from their meerkat and warthog 'hoods. Tag along as the two buddies from the brush search for their dream home, share their joys and trials as they raise young Simba using the "Hakuna Matata" philosophy, then cheer them on as they help Simba save the Serengeti and reclaim his place atop Pride Rock.

Just thought I'd bump this thread back up since Buena Vista has changed the DVD artwork (it's now up on the first post)

The original artwork was funnier. I remember it showed Simba & Zazu dangling off the cliff presumably after being pushed off.

Great; Disney references one of its yet-to-be-released on DVD titles in a DTV sequel. How about giving us the original (Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead)?

I can't wait for this release. Should be very interesting.
