What's on the menu?
lt could be ceviche
Stinky-oo, it's Pumbaa
lngonyama
l got to tell you, Timon...
that song always gets me right here.
Yeah, Pumbaa.
Well, enough of that.
Timon, what are you doing?
l'm fast forwarding to the part where we come in.
But you can't go out of order.
Au contraire, my porcine pal.
l've got the remote.
But everyone's going to get confused.
We got to go back to the beginning of the story.
We're not in the beginning of the story.
Yes, we were-- the whole time.
Yeah, but they don't know that.
Then why don't we tell them our story?
Hey, l've got an idea.
Why don't we tell them our story?
l like the sound of that.
A little backstage tour.
Take them behind the scenes for a revealing and intimate look...
at the story within the story.
Because what they don't know is how we really were there...
even though they didn't know we were there, you know?
ouldn't have said it better myself.
So, does this mean we're going back to the beginning?
Oh, no, Pumbaa, no.
We're going way back...
to before the beginning.
Pride Rock.
So maestic.
So powerful.
So bizarrely named.
Pumbaa, how can a rock be proud? lt's a rock.
l think it's because a pride is what they call a group of lions.
Oh, sure, the lions get Pride ock.
And what about us meerkats?
Where l come from, we didn't have nothing to be proud of.
Why...
When l was a young meerkat
When he was a young meerkat
Very nice.
Thanks.
But maybe it would be safer...
if l ust show them where l came from.
Oh, boy! Do we get to see where you grew up?
Yeah, Pumbaa, but it ain't pretty.
Please remain seated while the camera is in motion.
Here we are.
From Pride ock to the pit of shame.
We're so low on the food chain, we're underground.
But you don't have to take my word for it.
l'll ust let my fellow meerkats do the talking.
What was that, what was what?
What was that, what was that?
Where, what, where, where, What was that?
Shh!
uick, before the hyena come
lear.
Digga tunnah, dig, digga tunnah
When you're done, you dig a bigger tunnah
Digga tunnah, dig, digga tunnah
uick, before the hyena come
Dig, digga tunnah, dig, digga tunnah
You could dig and never get done
Digga tunnah, dig, digga tunnah
What was that?
uick before the hyena come, dig
Digga tunnah is what we do
Life's a tunnah we're diggin' through
Digga tunnah is what we sing
Digga tunnah is everything
Mud and clay is a meerkat's friend
Always more around every bend
And when you get to your tunnah's end
Halleluah, let's dig again, dig
Digga tunnah, dig, digga tunnah
When it's done, you dig a bigger tunnah
Digga tunnah, dig, digga tunnah
What was that?
uick, before the hyena come
Dig
Timon! Ecuse me.
Have you seen my son? Has he been through here?
Timon!
Dig, digga tunnah
Uncle Ma?
Uncle Ma, rela. Have you seen Timon?
No, l haven't, and what a day it's been.
No fractures, no lacerations...
no concussions, contusions, or inuries of any sort.
As a matter of fact...
there's no sign of Timon's handiwork anywhere.
That would be...
Timon!
Hey, everybody.
Nice work, Timon.
-Way to go, tunnel klulz. -Who else could break a hole?
Four in one week-- a new record.
Not again.
What? lt's called a skylight.
Wow. lsn't that creative?
A skylight.
l'll ust have a word with him.
l was ust trying to shed a little light...
on our pathetic eistence.
Timon, this can't go on.
Just this month, you've pulled down four walls...
and collapsed two tunnel eits.
We have to look after each other.
Our survival depends on it.
What's the point? All we do is dig...
so we can hide, and hide so we can dig.
l want to be where we don't have to dig tunnels...
and live with our heads stuck in the sand.
What's so bad about dreaming of a better home?
l want to show you something.
Look, Timon.
Go on, look.
Look out to the horizon--
past the trees...
over the grasslands.
Everything the light touches...
belongs to someone else.
Funny. l thought you were going...
a whole different direction with this.
What can l say? lt's nature's design.
She's right. We're food for other animals--
a moveable feast...
feared by no one and eaten by all.
But when they die, they become the grass...
and we eat the grass, right?
Not eactly. We can't digest grass.
We're grass intolerant.
OK, Ma. Thank you.
You've been a big help.
Meerkat-- it's what's for dinner.
Thank you, Uncle Ma.
l think uncle Ma dislodged one too many rocks with his skull.
But he's right, Timon.
Oh, l ust know there's a way for you to fit in here.
All right, who's on sentry duty?
That's it.
That's it-- my son on sentry duty.
Timon the sentry.
Timon the sentry?
Why don't you save the hyenas the trouble and kill me now?
Just kill me now.
He has a point.
All you have to do is watch for hyenas and yell if you see one.
Look at lron Joe.
Don't close your eyes! Don't look away!
Somebody's got to guard us!
Somebody's gotta protect us!
Well, now l'm convinced.
Listen, it's outside...
up in the breeze, under the wide open sky.
lsn't that what you want?
Or maybe you would rather have him...
go back on the digging crew.
No!
Good, then we all agree.
Timon, listen to Uncle Ma.
He'll teach you everything you need to know.
And, honey, try to make this one work.
Scurry, sniff, flinch!
Good. Now...
what do we do if we see a hyena?
Scream, ''Mommy''?
That's right, mister...
because the world out there is fraught with danger.
Fraught, l tell you!
Oh, boy. lt's the fraught fest.
...rip us limb from limb.
Bravo, Uncle Ma.
Way to sell it to the cheap seats.
Applaud now, sonny boy...
but try clapping when you don't have any hands.
Scurry, sniff, flinch.
l like the sound of that.
Scurry, sniff, flinch.
There's more to life than panic
And bein' some other guy's snack, yuck
l may be delicious organic
But this little entree's fighting back
l'm gonna put digging tunnels behind me
And live at a new altitude
l'm gonna reach for the stars to remind me
That meerkats are not merely food
For once l'll be
Lookin' out for me
Yeah, l'll tell you what l want
This cat is movin' on
He's a bon vivant who's missin' out on bon
l'd be a bigger cheese far from the desert scene
A little cooling breeze, a little patch of green
And l'll be snoozing in my hammock
By a rippling stream
Many miles from any tunnel and the digging team
Looking after number one will be my only creed
That's all l need
l've always been good at running away
Well, now l'm gonna run the show
l've always been seen as the ultimate prey
But now my status ain't so quo
A dream sublime
lt's hyena time--
Oh, look, it's dinner and a show.
And l thought beans were the only musical food.
Hy-hy-hy--
Well, hi to you, too.
This is no time for horseplay, Timon.
You're supposed to be up there looking out for...
hyenas!
Whoa, look at them scramble.
And that's ust how l like them--
scrambled...
and a little bit runny.
Hyenas!
Get in here.
What are you, a meshugginah?
Stumpy? Flinchy? Swifty?
Oh, what a relief.
Everybody's--
Where's Uncle Ma?
Ma! un for your life!
Play dead!
-Andale! -Almost there!
Suede is the look for this fall.
Hey, what's going on?
Pumbaa, you're sitting on the remote.
Huh? Oh, sorry. l thought it was a brownie.
You've got it, Ma!
Ma!
l flinched when l should've scurried.
Oh, man.
lt ust never gets old, does it?
The classics never do, honey.
l guess l owe everyone an apology.
All right, so l made a teensy mistake.
Like we all haven't broken into song on sentry duty before.
ome on. Let me have a show of hands.
OK.
Maybe it's a little too soon...
but l'm sure we're all going to laugh about this someday.
Trust me.
l did trust you.
But--
Aw, sweetie...
l'm never going to fit in here.
Nobody even likes me.
Sure they do, honey. Sure they do.
Besides you, Ma.
Besides me? There's--
l have to find my place, but it isn't here.
Yes, it is. We ust haven't found it yet.
But we will.
Here's an idea. You can--
Stop with the hair already. My place is out there, Ma.
l may not know eactly where or how far, but l got to go.
No, wait, wait. l know. lf we ust--
Ma.
Well, l hope you find what you're looking for, honey.
l love you.
l love you, Ma.
Oh, Timmy.
My Timmy.
Mom...
choking. Not breathing.
And people wonder why l have issues.
Oh, l'll be OK.
Oh, l know you will. You will.
Be careful!
l will.
Don't talk to strangers!
l know, Ma!
emember, wash behind your ears!
Ma, l'm not a kid anymore!
Never go swimming without a buddy!
Got it.
Send us a message!
What?
What?!
Good-bye, Ma.
And so, with high spirits...
l boldly ventured off...
where no meerkat had dared to go before.
l put my past behind me...
and never looked back.
Mommy! Mommy!
What am l doing?
Which way should l go?
That depends on what you think.
How convenient.
Enter omniscient monkey, right on cue.
Well, you know what they say.
When the student is ready, the teacher appears.
That's it. No more fortune cookies for you.
Hey, where'd you come from?
Oh, the better question is, where are you going?
Someplace wonderful, mister, where...
You didn't happen to catch the song...
l sang a few minutes ago, did you?
l didn't have the pleasure.
To recap, l want to live in some beautiful place outside...
a carefree place where l don't have to hide or worry.
Life without worry.
You seek hakuna matata.
Harpoon a tomato?
Hakuna matata--
it means ''No worries.''
Perfect. Mind taking that stick of yours...
and drawing me a map, bub?
Hey!
To find it, you must look beyond what you see.
What the heck is that supposed to mean?
lt means look beyond what you see.
Beyond what l see.
Get a load of the monkey getting all eistential on me.
Beyond what l see.
lt's kind of hard to think with all this music.
Beyond...
what l see.
Wait a second. lt's coming to me.
lt's either that slug l ate or l'm having an epiphany.
l'm going to the big pointy rock!
ight?
Who was that strange monkey?
Ah, well.
Dream home, here l come.
Hello?
Strange but wise monkey?
You know, first impressions are very important.
l thought you were a scream.
Just eat me now... and please make it fast.
l got a low threshold for pain.
Easy, easy there, little guy. l'm not going to eat you.
What? You're not?
Then why were you stalking me?
Well, gee, l saw you go by...
and l figured a little fellow like you
shouldn't be out here all alone.
Hey, what about you? You're all alone.
You are all alone, aren't you?
Yeah. Most animals give me a pretty wide berth.
They do? Even the hungry ones?
Yeah. l drive almost everyone away.
People see me coming, and they run for cover.
They can't get out of the way fast enough.
You don't say, you don't say.
Must be the gleam on those vicious tusks, huh?
Strikes fear into their hearts.
Actually, they say l wreck their appetite.
Wow. lt's like you have this special power.
Special power?
Well, it's pretty powerful, all right.
Perfect. You're hired.
Great! For what?
To get me to a little worry-free haven...
out by that big pointy rock.
And you want me to come with you?
Do you see any other big lovable chunk of warthog here...
who also happens to have razor-sharp tusks...
and the ability to repel predators?
l'm your pig.
You and me, l can tell-- we see eye to eye.
You mean, like friends?
Whoa, easy there, big fella.
l'd say more like... acquaintances.
Well, it's a start.
Put 'er there, acquaintance.
-l'm Timon. -Pumbaa.
No, really.
All right, then.
Let's hit the road.
You got it...
acquaintance.
So, clear up one thing for me.
lf you weren't going to eat me...
what kind of a wacky, wild pig are you?
l'm an insectivore.
A bug eater.
Well, me, too.
l ust never had a name for it.
l'm kind of partial to the crawly critters myself.
-How about you, big boy? -l prefer the ones with wings.
Pumbaa, this could be the start of a beautiful...
acquaintanceship.
Nants ingonyama
OK, so now we're back at the beginning.
ight, Timon?
Oh, you got that right, pally.
lngonyama
At last, things were looking up.
l had the sun on my shoulders, the wind at my heels...
A song in my heart.
And to protect me, a great big fat guy.
You really think l look fat?
Pumbaa, Pumbaa, Pumbaa.
You're a pig. lt's a compliment.
Oh, thank you.
lt's the circle of life
And it moves us all
There it is-- the big pointy rock.
Oh, baby, we're almost there.
l think we're a little late.
lt's a land rush.
That loudmouth monkey.
He must've blabbed it to the whole world.
What eactly did he say?
Look beyond what you see.
So maybe you're supposed to look beyond the big pointy rock.
Maybe l'm supposed to look beyond the big pointy rock.
Well, let's have a little look, shall we?
Beyond what l see.
What do you know?
The monkey's got an eagle eye for real estate!
Timon, look!
Hey! lt's the monkey!
What's that he's holding up?
Aw, who cares? lt's not important.
ome on! My dream home awaits.
l don't do so well in crowds.
Maybe we better go around.
Don't you know the shortest distance...
between me and my dream home...
is a straight line? Follow me!
Ecuse me.
Goodness.
Make room, make room!
Watch it, twiggy.
l'm walkin' here!
Timon! There's something l gotta tell you.
Pumbaa, Pumbaa, Pumbaa.
We'll have plenty of time to chat once we settle in.
l could really use a rest stop.
Don't worry. You'll get your second wind.
l got a really bad feeling!
lt'll pass!
Trust me. lt'll pass.
Oh, look, the rhinos are bowing.
We'd better bow, too.
Look, sire, how they kneel before the royal son.
So, l guess that's your special power, huh?
What a weapon!
You mean, you don't mind?
Are you kidding?
lt was a gas!
Well, l don't like to toot my own horn.
Yeah, that's probably for the best.
Let's go, Pumbaa!
Lead the way!
This is it, buddy boy.
Home, sweet home.
And l don't gotta share it with anybody. Ha ha!
Don't you get, you know, lonely out here?
Lonely? Try commitment-free.
The elbow-to-elbow life reminds me...
a little too much of home.
This place has everything--
cool refreshments, cozy little hammock...
a lovely water feature, and it's all mine.
Well, it's really coming together, Timon, so...
so, l guess l'll ust be going.
Wait a minute, now. Wait.
There's no law that says you have to go.
l mean, if you want--
Great! l already made up two beds!
One for you, and one for me.
Gee, all this construction work has me bushed.
Think l'll turn in early.
Good night!
Sleep tight.
Dream of bedbugs tonight.
Home, sweet home indeed.
Hey, keep it down up there!
We have neighbors? We should go say hello.
Noisy neighbors.
There go the property values.
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
lt's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
Oh, l ust can't wait to be king
Perfect. We moved to the theater district.
Get a load of these guys.
Knock it off!
Just can't wait
Timon, look out!
To be king
l'm OK.
Show people.
hin up, Pumbaa.
Our dream home's around here somewhere.
You know, Timon, l once came across a place...
that might be ust what you're looking for.
Spectacular waterfalls...
set in a lush tropical oasis...
a scrumptious array of--
Hey, hey. Forget it, Pumbaa.
l'm a realist, and l'm not gonna go chasing after some fantasy.
l'm going beyond what l see.
But if you always go beyond what you see...
how do you know when you're there?
Oh, l'll tell you how l know.
We're there!
This is a lovely spot.
Lovely, rustic, picturesque.
Home sweet home, Pumbaa.
Home sweet ho--
l mean, sure, it needs a little work...
but it's got good bones.
After all, this is an elephant graveyard...
and who would ever come to an elephant graveyard?
Sire, the hyenas are after the children!
l see carnivores.
Beyond what you see.
Beyond what you see!
Timon? Would this be a bad time...
to bring up that little place l told you about?
Hey! This is home sweet home, baby!
Home--
Steam! Steam is good.
Steam is water. Gotta have water.
You know, for the dream home.
Steam home, dream home.
Steam, steam, steam.
l am perfectly happy right here!
lt's remote, private...
no unepected visitors.
Somethin' tells me this ain't...
the traveling company of ''iverdance.''
Beyond what you see.
Beyond what you--
Hey, how am l supposed to look beyond what l see beyond that?
Oh, sorry.
What this place lacks in water and shade...
it makes up for with searing heat and blinding sunshine.
Home sweet home, Pumbaa.
Shall we run for our lives?
Oh, yes, let's.
Hang on, Timon!
This is it!
Good-bye, cruel world!
That's it?
That wasn't so bad.
You can't knock old Timon down that easy!
Yeah! Bring it on!
Pumbaa?
uestion--
is it possible to fall off the edge of the earth?
Technically, no.
The earth is round like a sphere, Timon...
so it doesn't actually have an edge.
You mind if l pause it for a second?
Sure, go ahead.
Be right back.
lt's a small world after all
lt's a small, small world
Everybody
lt's a small world after all
OK, l got the umbo so we could share.
Were you ust picking your nose?
No, l had an itch on the inside.
Timon, you OK?
l give up.
But you can't give up.
We still haven't found our dream home.
Forget it, Pumbaa.
l've been dragging you down long enough.
l'm going home, and l suggest you do the same.
l would if l could, but l can't.
Sure you can, buddy. l won't stop you.
No, l mean...
l don't have a home.
You don't? What happened? Are you lost?
No place good enough for you?
What, you're all alone in this big empty world?
The truth is...
l'm all alone, too.
Pumbaa, you're the only friend l've ever had.
You mean...
Yeah, Pumbaa...and friends stick together to the end.
Timon, are you crying?
l'm fine.
l ust have something in my eye.
Here, blow.
Here, Pumbaa.
Gee, thanks.
OK, l'm better.
Aw, well.
lt's too bad we never found that perfect place.
Why'd we ever listen to that stupid monkey?
l think maybe you're giving up too soon, Timon.
Beyond what you see.
emember that place l told you about?
Forget about your place.
Get a load of what l found.
Talk about beyond what you see.
Pumbaa, this is our dream home.
Dramatic views.
Your very own porch swing.
Hot tub and spa.
Well stocked cupboard.
Let's celebrate!
The monkey was right.
We found it-- the perfect life.
l'll ust whip up a little something.
He had the perfect name for it, too.
ome and get it.
Such a wonderful phrase. lt had this rhythm.
Laduda Ladada.
Try this-- hot tuna frittata.
No, that's not it.
The spinach armada.
uiet, Pumbaa. l'm trying to think.
A spoon of ricotta.
-Two words. -A wormy piccata.
-Si syllables. -Kahuna colada.
-Twelve letters. -A blue enchilada.
hymes with--
-Legumes on a platter. -Think.
This ought to be hotter.
-l forget. -l got to lambada!
Hey, how can you dance at a time like this?
l'm dying here.
Sorry about that, pal.
Hakuna matata.
ome again?
Hakuna matata-- it means ''No worries.''
