(also known as simply Timon & Pumbaa) is an American animated spin-off television series inspired by The Lion King that aired from September 8, 1995 – September 24, 1999 and was produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. It aired on Fridays and later Mondays on the syndicated block The Disney Afternoon, with new episodes airing on Saturday mornings on CBS. The series later reran on Disney Channel, Toon Disney, and Disney Junior.
The show features Timon and Pumbaa as the main characters, as they venture beyond the African plains in search of wild, wacky adventures, continuing to live by the phrase Hakuna Matata. Rafiki, Zazu, and the hyena trio are also given their own segments occasionally. The series uses fast-paced slapstick comedy in order to convey life lessons to young viewers.
follows Timon and Pumbaa as they continue to live according to the Hakuna Matata lifestyle, having (mis)adventures in the Pride Lands, their jungle home, and across the globe in various settings, such as Canada, the United States, France, and Spain.
Original Lion King charactersSupporting charactersVillains and antagonistsThe episodes are usually split into two 11-minute segments. "Once Upon a Timon" and "Home is Where the Hog Is" are the only half-hour episodes of the series, being considered two-part specials. Occasionally, a music video is featured after the second segment of an episode during the first season, making said episode consist of three segments. The music video segments include "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", "Yummy Yummy Yummy", and "Stand By Me".
In the Fall of 1995, 13 episodes aired on Friday afternoons on the syndicated Disney Afternoon block while 12 more episodes aired on Saturday mornings on CBS. In the Fall of 1996, 13 new episodes aired on The Disney Afternoon on Mondays with 8 more airing on CBS.
On January 24, 1995, it was announced that a Lion King television series starring Timon and Pumbaa was set to premiere during the fall, as part of The Disney Afternoon. Gary Krisel, who was then president of Walt Disney Television Animation, found Timon and Pumbaa to be the best new comedy team to come on the scene for a long time and that they had the potential to be just as classic as Abbott and Costello, Hope and Crosby, Martin and Lewis, and Nichols and May.
For the first two seasons, Roberts Gannaway and Tony Craig served as the show's executive producers. As of Season 3, the series was produced by Chris Bartleman and Blair Peters, with Tedd Anasti and Patsy Cameron serving as the executive producers. Gannaway stated that he and Craig wanted to expand on Timon and Pumbaa's personalities as a comedy team to keep the series fresh and to keep the show interesting, they decided to not have Timon and Pumbaa be locked into the Serengeti, but allow them to explore the world and meet different kinds of animals.
According to one of the show's writers Kevin Campbell, at the beginning of the series, he and Gannaway made a giant list of puns using country names to open the doors on how many places they could go. After figuring out which funny animal or obstacle situation Timon and Pumbaa would face, they used a "Which Animals Live Where" atlas reference book to find where in the world an episode could take place and check a list of country puns they could pick.
As was common for Disney animated shows at the time, the animation production was done by a consortium of overseas animation studios, including Walt Disney Television Animation (Australia) Pty. Limited, Toon City, Wang Film Productions, Rough Draft Korea Co., Ltd., Sunmin Image Pictures Co., Sunwoo Animation, Koko Enterprises, Toonz Animation, Jaime Diaz Productions, Shanghai Morning Sun Animation and Studio B Productions.

Three DVDs containing 21 episodes of the series were released in Europe, Australia, and Japan. Additionally, a triple set containing episodes from said DVDs was released in Australia. •Around the World with Timon & Pumbaa - June 7, 2004 •Dining Out with Timon & Pumbaa - March 14, 2005 •On Holiday with Timon & Pumbaa - March 14, 2005 •Triple Pack - June 6, 2012
Some of the show's crew returned for The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, The Lion King 1½, and The Lion Guard. Show writer and production secretary, Ford Riley, not only went on to develop the latter, but has since been a series creator, writer and lyricist on many Disney properties. Kevin Schon, who voiced Timon in the series as of its second season, reprised his role as the character in The Lion Guard (as well as its pilot film), along with some other related media, such as House of Mouse. Edward Hibbert continued to voice Zazu in the two direct-to-video follow-ups to The Lion King.
Much of the show's crew (including executive producers Tony Craig and Roberts Gannaway) went on to work on House of Mouse and Leroy & Stitch. The Timon and Pumbaa-centric episodes of the former and the duo's cameo in the latter most likely served as tributes to the show.
•The show consists of 85 episodes. This makes Timon & Pumbaa one of the few Disney animated series at the time to last for more than 65 episodes.
•The two half-hour episodes, "Once Upon a Timon" and "Home is Where the Hog Is", explain Timon and Pumbaa's origins and how they came to be wandering loners. The former, however, was contradicted by The Lion King 1½, which may indicate that said episode and 1½ exist in two separate timelines.
•The series is the first (and so far only) Lion King-related media where humans make physical appearances.
•It is also the first Lion King-related media to feature locations outside of the Serengeti, the second being The Lion Guard.
•Not counting Mufasa and Scar, Nala is the only major character from the original film to not return in the series.
•Timon & Pumbaa gets referenced in some other media. A scene from the episode "Uganda Be an Elephant" is shown in the 2000 Disney Channel Original Movie Stepsister From Planet Weird. The title card artwork for the two Zazu-centered episodes is also referenced in the House of Mouse episode "King Larry Swings in".
