I would have to concur with STM.

The Lion King had the most universal and at once heartbreaking and joyous plot, the best animation, and the best jokes (all of course IMO). Simba's Pride had some plot holes and shoddy animation, but good music. Overall, it worked fairly well as a movie. The Lion King 1 1/2 or 3, on the other hand, seemed more like a sketch film with scenes getting it from point A to point B, but, other than our already pre-existing inclination to like these characters, didn't really provide us with a compelling plot or a variety of characters, and hence, is probably the least likely to get repeated viewings from me.
me - "whatever that was, i agree..."
