Much like the direct-to-video movie it supports, pales in comparison to the soundtrack of the original Lion King. Continuing the trend of most Disney soundtracks and films since the late '90s, the album features nearly as many performances from the entertainment giant's stable of teen pop artists as it does original songs written for the movie.

Raven's overworked cover of 'Grazing in the Grass' opens the album, and while she's not a bad singer, the fussy arrangement and frenetic pace of the song don't do her any favors. & French's 'Jungle Boogie' is fun enough, but doesn't add anything to the original but a little bit of blandness.
Likewise, 's contributions, 'Digga Tunnah Dance' (which also features percussionist ), 'Timon's Traveling Theme,' and a cover of 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight' (which was also included on the Simba's Pride album) do an admirable job of incorporating African elements into the film's music, but aren't especially distinctive. 's performances do rescue somewhat, even if the album reprises 'Hakuna Matata' from the original Lion King, and 'That's All I Need' was originally written for the 'Warthog Rhapsody' from. Even the album's best track, 's theme to 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,' comes from somewhere else. Perhaps the soundtrack's target audience probably won't notice or care much about its heavily recycled track list, but considering that the album is only eight songs and 22 minutes long, it still seems like Disney could have offered more to Lion King fans.
In this comedy-adventure, Timon and Pumbaa reveal where they came from, where they met and how they helped Simba save the Serengeti. Their story includes glimpses into some big events from The Lion King that look a little different from Timon and Pumbaa's perspective - such as when King Mufasa introduced baby Simba to the animal kingdom.
Let's just say there was something behind that dramatic moment when all the animals bowed to their new ruler! Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, Ernie Sabella and the original voice cast return for this hysterical musical tale - and meet colorful new characters like Timon's Ma (Julie Kavner) and Uncle Max (Jerry Stiller)! With all your favorite characters, the music you love and more, get ready for some king-sized fun with Timon and Pumbaa!
Parents need to know that this movie has a surprising amount of potty humor-everything from Pumbaa's gas problem to jokes about belching, nose-picking and toilet-training. Some kids may get upset that Timon leaves his family and heads off alone in search of happiness and that Pumbaa does not have any family at all. The hyenas may frighten some children-they are constantly trying to kill the meerkats. Also, at one point Timon's mom says of the hyenas 'When they die, they become the grass.' This comment may need to be explained.
