The Lion King 3 - Hakuna Matata is an American cartoon from 2004 directed by Bradley Raymond and forms the final part of the The Lion King - Trilogy by the Walt Disney Company.
action
Timon and Pumbaa watch The Lion King in a dark cinema. Bored, Timon tries to fast-forward to the part where he and Pumbaa come into play. Pumbaa explains that the two had their roles in the story from the start. It rewinds to before the start of the film.
Timon lives far away in a meerkat colony. He is unhappy with the boring meerkat life, which consists only of duties and routine tasks, much to the worry of his mother and to the annoyance of his uncle Max. After screwing up a simple job as a guard, he decides to leave the colony. On his journey Timon meets Rafiki, who tells him about "Hakuna Matata" and explains to him in metaphors how he can find his place in life. Timon, however, takes Rafiki's remarks literally and starts looking for a suitable location. He discovers the Königsfelsen on the horizon and sets off there. On the way he meets Pumbaa and the two move on together.
This is where the events of the first film overlap and the two are still looking for a suitable place to live. Finally, in the jungle, they find the paradise they have always dreamed of, until one day Simba shows up and shakes their lives upside down. Simba grows up, but when Nala also appears, Timon and Pumbaa see their luck as a threesome threatened. They try everything to disturb Simba and Nala in their happiness. They fail, but are pleased to find that the two have an argument. The next morning Simba has disappeared and Nala asks the two of them for help. Timon is mad at Simba and is left alone by Pumbaa and Nala who want to help their boyfriend. Timon remains lonely until Rafiki shows up. Even before he can say a word, Timon realizes that he is only happy with his friends and follows them. Back at the Königsfelsen he meets his mother and his uncle. They dig an underground tunnel and lure the hyenas into this trap. After Scar is defeated, Timon leads the meerkat colony into the jungle, where they lead a carefree and work-free life.
The film ends again in the cinema and Pumbaa wants to see the film again. The cinema then fills up with many well-known Disney characters and Timon starts the film from the beginning.
background
The film is not really a sequel. Rather, the first part has been reissued and is now told from the perspective of the meerkat Timon and the warthog Pumbaa. The narrative style is reminiscent of Mystery Science Theater 3000 , because the film is interrupted several times and commented on by Timon and Pumbaa. Here too, opinions about the film differ. While some see the film as a comedically refreshing enrichment and a loving parody of the first part, others criticize the fact that it demystifies the first part and is not a real successor, but only represents a supplement. Hence the official title of the film in the US is The Lion King 1½ .
From the narrative perspective, the film is inspired by Tom Stoppard's play Rosenkranz and Güldenstern are dead , a variant of Hamlet , with Timon and Pumbaa playing the roles of Rosenkranz and Güldenstern . The comparison is particularly important because the first part of The Lion King borrows from Hamlet.
Towards the end of the film during the battle, Timon makes a clear reference to another film, as was done in the first film, where a reference to Taxi Driver was made. After Pumbaa unleashed a fart attack, which is clearly recognizable as a gas cloud and drives away the hyenas, Timon says: "I love the smell of Pumbaa in the morning." This statement is a reference to Apocalypse Now , where the original statement is: “I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells of victory. "
