Lion King 1 1/2 was my favorite. It's like a bootleg but with someone you actually wanna hear talking over the movie 🤣🤣🤣🤣

They seem to be releasing one that’s similar this year

[@ROYCEJR.]

Seth Rogen's laugh complete his personality.

[@dannywilson1743]

I don't know why but everytime I hear his laugh I think of being high

[@KingPloddy]

Sounds like yvie oddlys laugh lmao

[@theimmatureone3681]

Danny Wilson because of all the movies of him laughing when he was high

[@fatimamirza2100]

BBC 1 This gentleman is a brilliant interviewer. Please do not let go of him! These guys have to answer the same questions over and over. With Ali it never feels like you’ve heard the questions before.

[@JacksterBoi]

100% agree 👌🏼

[@andykey78]

They should revive the BBC 1 film show with Ali Plumb

[@H1ind]

Whoever made the decision to cast Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, I love you

[@JoeBreeVideos]

Seth & Billy as Timon & Pumba was one of my most favorite things in this movie. The voices matched perfectly with who the characters are. Genius

[@carys7417]

Lion King 2 is so underrated and amazing and Lives In You/One of Us are on par with songs from the first film.

[@shuckface8943]

Yes i agree !! So much ! Finally someone said it

[@PamelaRubel]

Yes yes yes!

[@Aldrius]

They put a lot more effort into the OST for that film, but He Lives in You I believe is just a deleted song from the first movie.

[@Dan-hi2uc]

Wow are we going to really ignore we are one and my lullaby like that?

[@shuckface8943]

[@dougalmackenziesmith673]

Ali Plumb - best interviewer in the biz.

[@bethanchalmers912]

Better interviewer than reviewer I would say but a lovely guy nonetheless

[@Jadorelainie]

I'd say it's a tie between him and Kevin McCarthy

[@Guppa]

That is correct! And Josh Horowitz! Sometimes I even confuse the two.

[@AnurajChakraborty]

Sean Evans is pretty incredible too!

[@simonkerr6653]

Chris Van Vliet @chrisvanvliet 👍🏻

[@ScarlettJ1221]

Seth's beard game is strong

[@itsnotworthit7178]

the only bad thing about this interview is that it ended Ali needs his own talk show

[@adrianvaduva5674]

I am glad they got an actor of that caliber, that acting stature to voice Scar.

[@corbensnider3286]

the words you’re looking for are ‘Photorealistic Computerised Animation’

[@ConnorEllisMusic]

Yeah, it was a bit pretentious for Chiwetel to say it's entirely new.

[@benlutostanski7755]

The word I'm searching for, I cant say, because there's preschool commenters present.

[@guileniam]

@@ConnorEllisMusic he didn't know what else to say

Billy Eichner was by far the best part of this movie, he deserves all the praise

[@ScarlettJ1221]

Omg Seth's laugh always kills me 😂

[@unknown360ful]

Go Ali Plumb!! Was waiting for these interviews...

[@elenachristian9860]

Scar is basically Loki, but unlikeable .

[@julesalveriamusic]

Found some interview clips with the original actors Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella from back then. They were told they stole the movie as Timon and Pumbaa. Now the same thing happens to Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen, which is awesome! We definitely need a "Lion King 1 1/2" live action remake.

[@jonathanfoster4202]

"Insomnia is the problem here!" 😂😂 that got me

[@damunaik4]

1. Haven't watched the film but Timon and Pumbaa look the best among the other animated animals when they speak 2. Yay for Ali Plumb 3. Half the viewing lot here are also Marvel fans 4. Thank you Billy for 6:23 I've always wondered how does the Circle of Life make any kind of sense

[@kodafynest]

Ali plumb is the best interviewer ever!!!

[@britta2649]

I love Seth Rogan I'm glad Lion King made him do new interviews :) also Seth + Billy = dream team

[@DamanKingBear]

Tamone and Pumba were the standout characters again

[@adrianvaduva5674]

Was Seth always like this.or just got stuck into the Pumba character?

[@lifeisgood9026]

He is always like this

they improved the WHOLE line scene?!??!?! THATS AMAZING!!

[@shan4883]

Wish I could hang out with Seth!! He seems so chilled, not caring what people think. That's what makes him so loveable!! Wish I had a friend like him. Too many people these days can't relax but have to appear perfect to impress.

[@xoxo-dr8df]

Timon and Pumba are legends! Even the kids of today love them.

[@bobjones9497]

Wish you'd got a full movies that made me with Jon, he must have so many stories to tell

Jon Favreau who I only knew from playing Happy. But he have directed everything! He’s amazing.

[@katelin8682]

[@crashban4t.f.s.b783]

The lionking 1 1/2 is more of a behind the scenes of the first lionking rather than a real 3rd movie. THAT’S ALL I NEED! THAT’S ALL I NEEEEEEEEED!!!!

[@twstf8905]

Lion King 1½ is MUCH better than Lion King 2! Lion King 2 isn't even really worth watching anymore after watching 1½.

[@souky110]

Hahaha. That was good one

[@sweetenergrande724]

Bitch yesss

[@Ridwan_Ali2]

Great film watched it today recommend to all 👏👏👏

[@randehmarshgames4608]

Seth Rogen as Pumbaa is the best part of any live action Disney remake in my personal opinion

Realistic GCI. That's what it's called. It's a CGI remake.

[@TaeSikCha]

“It’s an entirely new way to experience a movie” uhhhh jungle book ?

[@madelinerossell5859]

Jon LSP directed jungle book

[@TaeSikCha]

Exactly my point, it’s not a new way to experience a movie. He’s done it before.

[@nachowailing]

He said it in the interview. In jungle book you had to film the kid in either set piece or green screen and thats not the case in these movie.

[@saraiinez8790]

@@TaeSikCha Different from live action and animation. Jungle book is included in the "new experience"

[@JYDY-if5rf]

Billy Eichner and Seth Rogen should have a new television reboot series called Timon and pumbaa

[@katysikkema]

0:13 he sounds like Sam from Tdri:)

[@teamrainbow7674]

I said it straight after I watched the movie, Lion King 1/2 would make a better remake, I mean the original is a near perfect film and changing it would almost be a sin, but not changing it (they basically didn’t) feels a little unnecessary, Lion King 1/2 on the other hand could be great, because Seth and Billy were the best part of the Lion King (2019) and people don’t have the same nostalgia to that movie which would allow the writers to give it their own take and to bring something new

[@HHHPedigrees]

I'm still mad Key and Peele weren't cast as Timone and Pumba.

[@lalalallalalallalala]

EVERYBODY FORGETS TJE ONE AND A HALF MOVIE ITS SO GOOD

How do you not know about the lion king 1 and 1/2 and the games that came with the dvd

[@Clairski3]

Has nobody read Rosencrantz and Guilderstern are dead?! It's Stoppard's retelling of Hamlet through the perspective two minor characters. Same with the Lion IKing 3 (except that Pumbaa and Timon are more prominent characters and because the first Lion King was based off Hamlet.). It was a brilliant idea, and I'm happy the third movie exists.
