Revision as of 19:45, 30 September 2005
The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa is a Disney children's animated series that premiered from September 1995 to around May 1998. After 1998, a new director took over, causing a drop in popularity. The last episode was in 1999, but was never aired on the major networks.
It stars Timon, a meerkat, and Pumbaa, a warthog, both characters from the Disney animated films The Lion King and The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. On February 10, 2004, they starred in their own feature film, The Lion King 1½ which takes place behind the events of The Lion King.
Ernie Sabella and Nathan Lane provided the voices of Pumbaa and Timon, respectively, in The Lion King, The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, and The Lion King 1½. Both actors were featured early in the television show, but Lane was soon replaced by Quinton Flynn and finally Kevin Schon.
There are possibly 80 22-minute episodes in all, most consisting of two or three shorter segments.
Reruns on Timon and Pumbaa air every weekend on Toon Disney. The show was also aired on The Disney Channel in the late 90's, until the preteen lineup took over.
