Later, they end up in the gorge only to encounter a wildebeest stampede, the same stampede from the original film in which Simba loses his father. That night, going further into the graveyard, they watch an army of hyenas marching to the instrumental opening of " Be Prepared", and the duo silently escapes undetected. They both travel to the elephant graveyard and witness Mufasa and Zazu saving the cubs from the hyenas. ![]() Pumbaa tells Timon about a "dream home" in the jungle, but Timon ignores him. Timon and Pumbaa's home was easily ruined by this event. The elephant jumps in surprise and causes the tower to collapse, explaining why it collapsed in the original film. With him not wanting to have any disruptions of any kind at his dream home, he ventures outside and whacks the leg of an elephant supporting the tower of animals. One morning, they are disturbed by a loud noise from outside, which is actually Simba, his friend Nala, and many other animals singing " I Just Can't Wait to Be King" to evade Zazu and sneak into the Elephant Graveyard. Timon and Pumbaa continue their journey and find their new home at a watering hole that looks like a miniature version of Pride Rock not too far from the real Pride Rock. Simba's father, King Mufasa, was very puzzled at seeing this, but his majordomo Zazu tells him that they were bowing to Simba. The animals in front see this and believe that the fallen animals are bowing, and soon the whole entire herd has bowed. While Timon and Pumbaa trudge through the herd of animals witnessing the presentation of the newborn prince Simba, Pumbaa accidentally flatlets, which causes a few animals to pass out and collapse. They arrive at the Pride Rock, but to their dismay, a herd of animals is already there. The adventures of Timon and Pumbaa begin to coincide with the events of The Lion King at this point. Along the way there, Timon and Pumbaa meet for the first time and set out to find a "dream home." He is soon encouraged by a baboon named Rafiki to seek Hakuna Matata and to look beyond what he sees and has the intuition to head for Pride Rock. After his Uncle Max is nearly eaten by Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed on his watch, Timon decides to leave the meerkat colony and find a place that is right for him. Mystery Science Theater 3000-like moments occur as the characters comment on the original film's proceedings.Īt Timon's meerkat colony far, far away from Pride Rock, Timon takes jobs as a digger and a sentry, but despite his mother Ma's encouragement, he cannot seem to find a good job for himself, as he seems to do more harm than good, such as collapsing his tunnels while attempting to create a skylight. Throughout the rest of the film, it is occasionally interrupted to have Timon and Pumbaa comment on whatever is happening. Timon and Pumbaa start fighting over the control of the film until they agree that the film should tell their side of the story. Pumbaa argues that the film shouldn't go out of order and attempts to rewind the film back to the very beginning. ![]() The film starts as Timon and Pumbaa are shown watching the opening act of the original movie in a dark theater when Timon suddenly uses a remote control to fast-forward to where they do appear in the film. The Lion King 1½ is the untold story of how Timon and Pumbaa met each other and helped Simba achieve his goal. Reviews were generally favorable from critics and audiences.
