Product Description The third instalment (which did not have a cinema release) in this popular children's animated story, but this time the story is told from Timon the Meerkat and Pumba the Warthog's perspective. When Timon decides to explore the world, it's not long before his path crosses with that of Pumba and they become good friends. But their plan to find a new home is forgotten when they come across a young cub called Simba (voiced again by Matthew Broderick) and help him save the Serengeti.. From Amazon.co.uk The Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata is an ingenious sequel that retells the original film's story from the perspective of best pals Timon the meerkat (voiced by Nathan Lane) and Pumbaa the warthog (Ernie Sabella). Anyone who has wondered how this odd couple met will find out here, beginning with Timon's flight from home following disgrace and his chance encounter with the sweet but lonely Pumbaa. With the arrival of young Simba (Shaun Flemming), The Lion King's familiar tale is reborn via a fresh angle, fleshed out by returning characters Rafiki the wise monkey (Robert Guillaume), Shenzi (Whoopi Goldberg), and Simba's love interest, Nala (Moira Kelly). While the retooled narrative proves a novel experience, The Lion King 3 is really a vehicle for voice actors Lane and Sabella, whose comic performances are shamelessly, broadly funny. Matthew Broderick, Julie Kavner, and Jerry Stiller are also in the vocal cast. The film was released in the US with the title The Lion King 1½-- Tom Keogh From the Back Cover The Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata reunites Disney's favourite double act, Timon and Pumbaa.
