& French's 'Jungle Boogie' is fun enough, but doesn't add anything to the Kool & the Gang original but a little bit of blandness. Raven's overworked cover of 'Grazing in the Grass' opens the album, and while she's not a bad singer, the fussy arrangement and frenetic pace of the song don't do her any favors. Continuing the trend of most Disney soundtracks and films since the late '90s, the album features nearly as many performances from the entertainment giant's stable of teen pop artists as it does original songs written for the movie. The experience is completed with stunning music based on the film's soundtrack, including 'The Circle of Life,' 'Just Can't Wait to be King,' and 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight,' all written by pop superstar Elton John and award-winning lyricist Tim Rice.Much like the direct-to-video movie it supports, The Lion King 1 1/2 pales in comparison to the soundtrack of the original Lion King.

Using an improved version of the state-of-the-art Digicel technique, Westwood Studios has packed even more Disney animation and stunning scenery into The Lion King. Disney animators have drawn over 2,000 frames of artwork to create an interactive experience like no other.

The first phase encompasses the life of young Simba, the cub, and his fascination with the world around him the second phase is about Simba the lion prince on his journey back to reclaim his rightful place as king of The Pridelands. Westwood Studios developed the game which packs 24 megabits of action, animation and music into an adventure that explores the plains of Africa through two distinct phases of Simba's journey to adulthood. Westwood Studios and Disney Software have joined forces in this co-production to develop a game that combines the emotional excitement of Disney's newest full-length, animated feature film with unique, original game challenges to offer a whole new video game experience.
