| Imagine a cross between the King _Lion, (on the 1994) _ (Qv) and _Back to the Partie II (1989) Intended _ (Qv). It is a separated thread of history, it of Rudder and of Pumbaa, was interlaced with original history. So, with the view of new events (e. g. The departure of Rudder of the meerkat colony, Rudder and the first meeting of Pumbaa, the origin "from Hakuna Matata"), we arrive to see a new perspective on (and some before invisible reasons for) some of events in the original film. Oh, and all that is said in one _ "the Theatre of Science of Mystery 3000" (1988) _ (Qv) centres it, with Rudder and Pumbaa telling it and fact to communicate with the film " onscreen".
Imaginez une croix entre le Roi _Lion, (le 1994) _ (qv) et _Back à la Partie II (1989) Future _ (qv). C'est un fil d'histoire séparé, ce de Timon et de Pumbaa, entrelacé avec l'histoire originale. Ainsi, avec la vue de nouveaux événements (e. g. Le départ de Timon de la colonie meerkat, Timon et la première réunion de Pumbaa, l'origine "de Hakuna Matata"), nous arrivons pour voir une nouvelle perspective sur (et quelques causes auparavant invisibles pour) certains des événements dans le film original. Oh, et tout cela est dit dans un _ "le Théâtre de Science de Mystère 3000" (1988) _ (qv) le cadre, avec Timon et Pumbaa le racontant et le fait de communiquer avec le film "onscreen". Search keywords
