This kinda gives a false impresiion on the film's intentions. Yes, this is slightly comical trailer but still it lets on that it's actually a serious prequel when really it turned out a parody. But then again, at least our DVD cover gives it a way mercilessly by having Timon hold up Pumbaa up at Pride Rock like Rafiki does to the royal lion cubs. But still, I believe this gave false expectations. Though, how many were anyway excited about them making the new film about Timon & Pumbaa instead of the lions? Not I.
But I was interested in Timon & Pumbaa--in my opinion this film could've been better quality if they had let the duo live up to their full potential--like this trailer makes it seem. But then, it would've been hard to title "The Lion King" anything, when even now it's misleading as it is about a meerkat and a warthog.
I see Timon makes a big fuss about how it can't be titled "The Lion King 3"--yet still the international Disney chose to title it with the number 3. And even though it was obviously a parody and not really a sequel. WTF was going on in their heads? Oh well, it's just a number after all. ;D
Well, for a movie trailer this works as intriguing enough and funny enough for using those two known as the comic releaf.
