“Do you remember the classic cartoon Timon and Pumbaa? It’s an animated TV series produced by Walt Disney Animation, starring the warthog and meerkat first seen in the 1994 film: The Lion King. The show ran for five seasons, from September 16, 1995 to November 1, 1998. Let’s revisit this nostalgic cartoon!
Best friends Timon and Pumbaa embark on their own adventures, full of humor and moments of reflection on the consequences of our actions. They roam the densest forests and jungles, visiting various real and fictional lands—like “Tanzania Zany,” “Guatemala Malarkey,” and “Africa‑Dabra”—all in search of relaxation, excitement, interesting critters for dinner, and, of course, plenty of mischief.
Fun Fact: Meet the real‑life Timon and Pumbaa from ‘The Lion King’ – Jornal Extra
Pumbaa is a gentle, ever‑hungry warthog who always wants to do things the right way. Timon, on the other hand, is a opportunistic meerkat who constantly grabs credit for the ideas that loyal Pumbaa helps him come up with. A common gag is Timon ignoring Pumbaa’s advice and getting into big trouble. Despite their differences, their friendship remains unbreakable, and together they always manage to escape danger or get out of sticky situations.
A recurring villain in many episodes is Quint, a tall, muscular man with a red nose. Depending on the story, his profession and even his first name change—he appears as Cusco Quint in one adventure, Concierge Quint in another, and even Captain Quint. He’s been seen as a thief, wildlife photographer, chef, bullfighter, and more, always plotting against Timon and Pumbaa.
