Thanks so much for watching! Which Lion King movie, spin-off show or video game is your favorite?
I hear the Lion Guard is pretty good.
@@TheAnchorArmsChad remember seeing advertisements for mine but never got around to seeing it
Lion guard
You guys remember the impossible game boy video game of the Lion King?
I'm glad to already see some positivity about The Lion Guard here. As someone not even close to the target audience, it's a really fun show that when it was airing was, IMO, unfairly hated. It takes a little bit to get going but it gets away with a good amount of stuff you wouldn't expect from a Disney Junior show.
Holy hell I remember this show being on Toon Disney and honestly out of the Disney show based movies, this one holds a special place in my heart because it had some genuine fun moments.
Exactly!! That's why i think it stayed with us cuz it was genuinely very well written and they did the characters justice!
same here only mine they were messing with a bull and tricked hyenas to north pole
me to
Me too that’s why I have Disney plus
I definitely think this was the best one based off the late Disney Renaissance era movies. I didn't have Disney Channel until around 2000 so only watched this show randomly as a kid but I definitelyliked ot the best. But my fave overall definitely has to be lil and stich. Also gotta shout out Talespin. Which is a classic.
This show is so Well Written & Underrated! One of the best Shows Disney has EVER MADE. I was extremely happy to see it on Disney+
I’d totally forgotten about this! I remember that Hercules, Aladdin, and The Little Mermaid all had spinoff shows too, and I think there’s a crossover episode with Hercules and Aladdin that’d be really cool to see a video about. I actually watched Timon and Puumba more than any of the series that I did remember, funny how memory works
Tarzan had one as well
Aladdin was a STRONG spinoff Cartoon, even though they didnt have Robin Williams pulling Genie Duty.
@@UltimateGamerCC what do u mean about strong ??
Btwy they were awesome series spin off . Expect little Mermaid .
If i put all of them in order it ll be:
• Timon and Pumbaa
• Aladdin
• Hercules
• Tarźan .
But they all the best series spin off ever and I'll never be tired to watch it
@@alwsproduction5657 i mean that the Cartoon was about as good as the first two Aladdin movies.
Can we all agree though for a second that hand drawn animation is a beautiful thing that can't be beat.❤️
i used to watch this show RELIGIOUSLY. disney was constantly reruning it and doing episode marathons so i watched every episode multiple times as a kid
Same I watched this on Disney cinemagic
This show was right up my alley when I was a kid. My two favorite characters from the Lion King with Looney Tunes-esque humor? I absolutely loved it!
It’s a funny show!
The show was definitely fun sometimes. I really only had like two VHS from them, featuring episodes with Pumbaa trying to be an elephant, the two rescuing a snail, the squirrels in love, Timon on trial, and a wishing whale, plus a hyenas short.
Other episodes I barely caught on reruns at 4 AM on Toon Disney. I LOVED the game Timon and Pumbaa’s Treacherous Trek, sadly it’s been lost to the ravages of time and the Internet.
That said, the show wasn’t perfect. I feel like Timon got really unlikable and a lot of the comedy didn’t land because of it especially as the show went on. Ironically the episodes with the guest star appearances of the hyenas, Rafiki, Zazu, and Simba were probably the best episodes of the show for the most part.
Aaaand the song is stuck back in my head again 😂😂 “Dig a tunnel! Dig, dig, a tunnel…”
Thanks! The Tarzan, Aladdin, and 101 Dalmatian spinoff TV shows were some of my favorites as a kid!
For some reason, Tarzan always seem to be on in the middle of the night. That was fine with me since I was a bit of an insomniac as a child. So much Tarzan!
I’d love to see videos on these shows!
Hey thanks so much, appreciate that support, truly kind of you! For sure will be covering more shows like that at some point! :D
@@JordanFringe94 Please do Wait remember ... House of Mouse ?
@@JordanFringe94 Fun Fact: when making Lion King, Disney had no faith that it would succeed and they thought Pocahontas was going to win Best Picture. Boy they were wrong BIG time.
My sister used to have a whole handshake to the "dig a tunnel" song.
One of the most underrated cartoons from 90s Disney. Timon was a major comfort character of mine as a kid so I religiously watched this one. You should do Wait Remember episodes for:
-Road Rovers
-Taz Mania
-101 Dalmatians The Series
-Tutenstein
Hah I remember the Taz mananian devil episodes back in early 90s when I was in kindergarten and preschool living in Chicago it used to come on all the time till probably 95/96 when I went to 1st grade I didn't see that show anymore alot of shows cane out when I was in preschool around 92/93
Road Rovers and Tutenstein ain't Disney.
I like how disney+ is making me remember all kinds of weird Shows by just having them on their Platform
The jazzy sax end credits song still pops into my head every once in a while
I remember watching the show as a kid when it’s on the Disney Channel back in 2007, it’s a lot of fun and I really like the dynamic of Timon and Pumbaa. And about The Lion King 1 1/2, that movie is one of my favorite childhood favorites as I watch it many times as a kid and it’s my favorite movie in the franchise. You made excellent videos Jordan, you make us feel nostalgic for the shows we watch back in the day. Keep it up man! 👍
I haven’t seen The Lion King 1 1/2 in years maybe since it came out but as soon as it was mentioned the Dig-a Tunnel song jumped to the front of my mind where it’s gonna be stuck for days now thank you for that
Ah, yes. Disney's own (better) answer to Ren and Stimpy! I used to love watching this series as a kid growing up when it aired on ABC, Disney Channel, and Toon Disney. This show was very funny and it basically runs on its own continuity from the rest of the Lion King franchise. Also, the "Stand by Me" short actually started out as a theatrical short that played before a live-action Disney movie called Tom and Huck in 1995! 🙂
I used to watch this when I was in elementary school. This series, alongside Gargoyles, Hercules, PB&J Otter, Rollie Pollie Ollie, and many others was my go-to Disney series back then
They surprisingly were definitely good enough to handle their own show together
Yes it was one of my favorites growing up. Toon Disney showed it all the time along with Tale Spin, Toad Patrol, and other shows.
I remember watching the re-runs of this as a kid growing up and its cool to know the final episode aired on the day I was born
Timon and Pumbaa doing "Lion Sleeps Tonight" was this show's highlight for me.
as a child, I had a movie that had some of the episodes on it, the one where they are trying to prevent the chef from cooking snail and the circus monkeys come to mind. watched it constantly while I was little
Yesss, I remember this!! I think I either had a VHS with episodes or saw a commercial for it on another VHS, I think it was the former although now I could barely anything from it. Thanks for this blast from the past! I feel old
THIS was one of those gems I saw at 3 A.M. on school nights as a kid
Your use of the 4th wall gags of 1 1/2 was gold.
We used to have a VHS copies of this series bc we loved these two so much
omg i’m so glad you brought up lion king 1 1/2 !! me and my family loved that movie so much we still make references to it. and yes dig a tunnel gets randomly stuck in my head too
I had actually just recently vaguely remembered seeing reruns of this show as a kid. Almost feels like a semi-forgotten fever dream looking back on it, though.
I vividly remember this show (specifically the snail episode) thanks to dad bringing home a bunch of VCDs of it. If I look for it hard enough I'd probably still be able to find it somewhere in the house.
Kid Danger: *wearing his moto pup outfit* oh my luna! *fans himself with his wing* yes! i remember this show from tv! *smiles*
I remember seeing syndicated reruns of this show on Disney Channel and Toon Disney when I was a kid with many episodes on the DVR. It was quite a simpler time...
Fun Fact: The "Stand by Me" musical short actually started out as a theatrical short that played before a live-action Disney movie called Tom and Huck in 1995! 🙂
It was my favorite Disney cartoon. Well, one of them. Dark wing?? Hercules, Tale Spin, Bonkers... so many to pick from 😭 but, these 2 were a whole vibe, always.
My first ever exposure to the world of Lion King was not Lion King itself, but a Timon and Pumbaa VHS tape.
I remember my high school American History teacher playing a couple of episodes of this cartoon before spring break 2020. I swear, he was the coolest teacher I had.
I remember this show! I used to watch it all the time as a kid, it was never on any TV networks where i am from, but Episodes were sold on VHS's, and i remember some of the episodes, since i watched the episodes that we had on VHS multiple times
I only saw a few episodes on TV, but as a kid I had the VHS compilation movie of the series that I watched a lot and the Stand by Me music video has never left my mind since.
its okay to endlessly quote the characters we love right? "like Fry like Fry!"
I've always had a memory of a few seconds of Timon and Pumba I believe making cupcakes as far as the show goes. And as far as the movie, it's one of my favorite movies that left a mark on me since it reminded me of other memories.
Can you please cover The Lion King 1 1/2 please!! One scene I've always felt very heartwarming is when Timon and Pumba talk about being alone in the world. The nature sounds and the score.
One of the many great Disney animated tv series of the 90s. Great video.
Omg i thought i imagined this show! I used to watch it all the time!
Also i really hope you'll do a House of Mouse video sometime!!! That show was amazing and it sucks that House of Villains is the only real remnant of it!
Thanks for uploading 2 videos a week now. Really appreciate it.
I really enjoyed this show as a child even if no episode or moments stick out in particular. I also WOULD love to see more on 101Dalmations the series, I remember that one a lot more vividly.
I remember growing up I had a VHS with a few episodes and my friend had one with different episodes. It used to be one of our favourite things to watch whenever we went to each other’s houses (which was basically every day). Good times.
Omg I LOVED the show, games and especially the movie. You are really bringing me back my friend. Subscribed 🧡👑
Whenever I hear “Stand by Me,” my mind automatically first goes to the cover they did on this show.
Oh... My heart... I didn't realize how much this show wound up meaning to me until I stumbled on this. Haven't watched the video, yet, but... nostalgia's a bitch. Lol.
I mostly remember the music videos and the episodes with the beavers, Simba in the Roman coliseum, and Rafriki's nephew. Oh! And one with Zazu having an existential crisis and questioning his role in the Pride Lands. That was fun.
I certainly remember watching this show when younger. It was the last thing toon disney played before it transitioned to disney xd and it was very strange to watch a channel die then get replaced on air like it did. I watched it live, from timon and pumbaa to suddenly no more toon disney. very very memorable for me though.
I loved this show. It threw the original story out the window and had some crazy, whacky fun.
I love the episode where they capture a Toucan who says “I am not a liar” and Timon breaks that down, logically, and almost breaks his brain.
Quint and the vultures were standouts for me. Didn’t know that Dan was a recurring antagonist.
I appreciate you and this channel bro! Keep this up!!!
I love that show! It may be non canon, but its really entertaining. Timon and Pumbaa are my favorite Disney characters.
When can you make a video covering Penguins of Madagascar? I remember some weird stuff about that series even after so many years without seeing it. Plus it did give us the “Kowalski, analysis” meme.
This was a cool video, i love this show,i may sit back and re watch the craziness Timon & and pumbaa get into lol,i loved the old toon disney flare you added in,also i loved the Timon & pumbaa version of stand by me,great stuff and I also had the lion king 1/2 vhs great movie,i need to get the blueray version for my collection lol,i remember owning the snes cart of the lion king,you can re play it now on current gen consoles,i think also pc lol,i was also bummed they didnt make anymore lion gaurd it was a decent show,thanks for the fantastic content as always Jordan,PS...Id love the house of mouse on Disney Plus lol.
Great video Jordan. Keep up the great work. Love your videos and personality.
Hell yes, I remember Timon & Pumbaa!! However, I remember it originally airing on Saturday mornings, before eventually moving to the Toon Disney afternoon block. Lol, don't feel bad man, most of the rest of us, myself included, are all about nostalgia. Cause we're living in such sad times.
There was a period in middle school where I would often wake up (or stay up, lol) at 4:00 a.m. to catch reruns of this on Disney Channel. I still don't remember it super well, but I always really enjoyed it!
Loved this show. Glad you did a video on this. This duo are iconic!
Used to watch this alot on VHS!! I still sing that song to this day!
WHAAAAAAAAAT⁉️ I HAD NO IDEA THIS MOVIE HAD SPINOFFS!! This is so cool!
DUDE! You woke up a deep memory when you mentioned the song parodies/covers they did. I don't remember where it was from, but as a kid I had a VHS of something that included them singing "Stand By Me" and I suddenly remembered it once you mentioned it! Weird how things like that just happens! Thanks for that!
My wee brother when he was a child in nursery loved the video timon and pumba around the world and would always ask to watch it. We sadly didn't have the video at home or a video player but I had kept my eye out and found it at a bring and buy sale at my primary school one year and immediately kept it by for my wee brother and now that video resides at friend of the family's house who own a working video player. It does feature the stand by me song on it from what I remember and I do think I personally saw it on TV years ago
I actually barely remember watching The Lion King but I remember all kinds of things from this show, like it's where I learned the term "a slap on the wrist" (Timon literally got one after expecting to be severely tortured), their conflict with a farm animal named Mr. Pig, Timon and Pumbaa's attempts to capture a literal bookworm (and Timon dismissing literature with "books are for mooks," though Pumbaa, surprisingly, enjoyed reading), etc.
omg I had all but forgotten this show. Oh man, the memories...
This is one of those shows that I know I watched and enjoyed but I can't remember a single part of any episode, all I can specifically remember is liking when the theme song came on.
This is one of those obscure cartoons that one would hardly think about but would know existed and could easily look for, but just don’t care about it.
Loved this show growing up! Thanks for talking about it!
I remember that legendary opening theme. It is sooooooooooo nostalgic!
I use to watch Timon and Pumbaa, the Aladdin series and The Little Mermaid series before I even saw the movies. It was so exciting to learn there was a movie for each one haha
I remember I loved watching the tv show spin offs of Disney movies I remember when I was little, the little mermaid having one, Timon and pumba from the Lion king, jungle book and a few others
I seem to recall this show also had a 'origin' for how timon and pumba met before the Lion King 1/2 movie was released. The story of how they met is a bit more comical but it hits a lot of the same beats as the Lion King 1/2 movie did.
Yeah is named "Once upon a... Timon" Episode 19 season 2
I remember loving this show when I was small.
How could you not! I loved their antics. 😃
Love the way you set up the ads, Clever
I've only watched Lion King 1 1/2 yet I can still clearly recall the Dig a Tunnel song. It's a certified ear worm.
lion king 1 1/2 was my fav movie as a kid!!! i loved it sooo much. now i know why i love meta commentary on animated shows lol
the dig a tunnel song haunts me too; i think 1 1/2 might be my favorite lion king movie it had such a specific charm
I thank you for bringing my childhood into the light!
I'd highly remembered the Timon & Pumbaa TV Series and I LOVED The Lion King
I love this show so many Saturdays as a kid glued to the TV
Omg I remember this show, I used to freaking love this show when I was a kid, I had a couple of vhs tapes of this show and that's how I found out about it
Never watched the show but I definitely have some nostalgia for the old Disney Channel cartoon art style
I find it surprising that with most shows that Jordan covers, my comments tend to begin with, "I actually binge-watched the entire series, sometime ago." Timon and Pumbaa is no exception, as I actually managed to find the entire series on UA-cam _before_ Disney+ aired.
I ultimately clicked on it for the nostalgia of hearing Hakuna Matata playing at the beginning of each episode, but as I let the episodes play, I realized that the show as...actually _pretty good._ It was far better than I was expecting it to be. And I honestly think it's because Timon and Pumbaa are so strong as characters, that you really do want to see _more of them._ You want them in more situations where you can enjoy their antics for some relatively harmless fun.
I gotta admit, some of the show actually has my favorite moments from the pair. Like the episode that gives a backstory for how the two met and that awesome song they did together, from the covers of Stand By Me and In the Jungle; the series overall is great.
I think one of my favorite moments is when Timon tries to prove how "famous" he is, and says the line, and I quote, "I'm Timon; the Rat-Thing from the Lion King~" - that line is hilarious.
But I think what the strength of the show is, is truly the strength of Timon and Pumbaa's friendship; they get into all kinds of perilous scrapes, death defying situations and they tend to but-heads every now and then...But despite all of that, their bond is so solid, that it withstands all of that, and never truly breaks. They're two guys who don't fit-in their own societies, and get cast out...But in spite of the entire world being against them, at least they have each other to face it with...
So all ya gotta do is, say "Hakuna Matata," and stand by your best friend.
omg this show was a fever dream. i don't remember much about this show, but I vividly remember them doing something with waffles???
This spin off was very big in Portugal at that time , loved by an entire generation
This was a show I’d watch fairly regularly on Toon Disney besides Darkwing Duck, Tailspin, Goof Troop, and Chip N Dale. I’m pretty sure I had a VHS copy too. I was, and still am, a big Lion King fan because I love animals. So this show was up my alley.
Anyone remember the penguin voiced by Charlie Adler? He was like bad luck and caused accidents unintentionally. I’m sure his catchphrase was “Are you okay?!” Ngl I was disappointed you didn’t mention him, not that I loved the character.
Omg yeah that penguin was cute
I watched this show before watching lion king. It is such a feelgood memory from my childhood and it was my favourite show when i was 9 yo.
Timon and Pumba was amazing! When are we getting an epsiode on Loonatics Unleashed yet though? It was my favorite cartoon growing up, but I don't see many peoplw talking about it anymore. 😕
I had this on VHS and watched it all day at least once a week :D
When I was a kid only the rich people had Disney channel so I never watched any of these shows. I think I saw an episode of recess at my friend’s house once.
I had no idea this show even existed.
It’s cool seeing these shows I never got to experience.
You should 100% watch it! It's so funny!
I'm gonna spend the next week bingeing your channel I'm in heaven
binging??? bingeing? whatever
I would have my mom buy crazy videos back in the day when this happened. Loved me some Timon and Pumbaa!
Oh my gosh for the longest time I never had watched the lion King so I always just knew these iconic characters just from this cartoon alone
Timon and Pumbas jungle game was one of the oldest games i ever remember playing, i never actually watch the cartoon itself but i still remember the days of coming home from school and playing on my aunts pc. Good times.
Who needs existential dread when you can have Hakuna Matata.
I remember having both seen the show on Saturday mornings on the channel XD changed from Toon Disney and i think had a few of the episodes on VHS or rented them. i still remember the one episode of Rafiki helping a bullied mouse by Elephants overcome he's bullies and even teach him a lesson to be fine in your own skin. not to mention the show was pretty funny and very well animated, like a lot of the shows on Disney at the time.
I also recall reading a comic from the line up of Disney Magazine at the time and i recall it either came from an episode about Timon's colony of Meerkats attacks by a predator or it inspired the episode.
The summer between 3rd and 4th grade I made it a point to stay up all night every night to watch this show at like 4 am because that's when it came on on channel 24. Loved that shit so much back then and then never again
Hey, Jordan! I loved this video, and I have my own suggestion for a show nobody remembers. Game shakers! So could you plz do it?
I remember this show from back in the day, as well as the 1 and a 1/2 movie. If "The Lion King" is "Hamlet", then that movie could be "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead!"
