Stand by Me (1995)
4/10
A bit biased, but I did not like it

"Stand by Me" is a pretty famous song and here we get the rendition by Timon & Pumbaa from "The Lion King". I must say I quite like the song, but the version we hear in this one is one of the worst I have heard so far. The singing is not great, but the greatness and catchiness of the song still saves it from being a disaster. What we see in here is even more forgettable. I am not even sure I should recommend this to Lion King fans. Yes, it's connected with the film, but it adds nothing really and the frogs we hear at the end are the most random thing ever. I guess they somehow had to make it to three minutes. With "they", I mean director Steve Moore who made this one a few years before his Oscar nomination. He is still a successful filmmaker today. I personally did not enjoy the watch, but then again, i have never been a great Timon (& Pumbaa) fan. Thumbs down, not recommended.
