What is the best order to watch The Lion King films?

What is the best order to watch The Lion King films? - Close-up Portrait of Lion

I have only watched The Lion King and I want to watch The Lion King II and The Lion King 1½, probably in a marathon with the original film, which neither I nor my wife have seen for more than 10 years so we probably forgot most of it.

As I know The Lion King 1½ takes place at the same time as The Lion King, should I watch it between the first and second films? Or does it make more sense to watch the films in release order?



Best Answer

There is not really any best order, as you already know The Lion King is the first film in franchise and The Lion King II: Simba's Pride is the sequel, so that's the order which matters. The Lion King 1½ take place before, during and after The Lion King, so you should watch it after The Lion King but not necessarily before or after The Lion King II.
