Visiting friends
Another pair of beloved characters from The Lion King makes a surprise appearance in one of Disney’s recent live-action remakes. We’re used to seeing Timon and Pumbaa in their cuddly cartoon form, singing along with Simba on the savannah.
But, after confirmation from the director, Jon Favreau, it has been revealed that the real-life meerkat and warthog who appear in a scene in Disney’s live-action The Jungle Book, are in fact supposed to be Timon and Pumbaa, hanging out with the cast. I wonder if they shared some bug-finding tips with Baloo?
