Stand by Me

Strange short featuring Timon and Pumba from the Disney feature The Lion King. Timon sings the song "Stand by Me" while Pumba is pummeled with various objects. Has only a few funny moments, most the time you'll just sit there wondering who on earth thought this was a good idea.

It's not exactly a movie, more of a music video. It's funny, no make that hilarious!!!! I loved it the first time I saw it and well although what Timon and Pumbaa are doing has nothing to do with the song, it just shows that if they can still be friends no matter what.

This short film was one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen in my entire lifetime on the planet Earth. if you're really interested in seeing it, it can be seen as an added bonus on the Disney movie The Big Green. I would recommend you see it, if you like laughing that is. It's a funny little, well, song video I guess you could call it. Timone sings "Stand By Me" while Pumbaa tries to actually stand by him, and he gets assaulted in a variety of hilarious ways, including hot tar and bees and stuff like that. I wish I actually owned The Big Green, simply for the short. it's that worth it, I'm telling you the truth. If you don't know who Timone and Pumbaa are, they are from Disney's The Lion King.

I remember seeing this on TV when I was a kid, and laughing my head off, even though I kind of felt bad for Pumbaa! Two parts in particular made me laugh, as I recall: 1. When Timon's wading through that pond, singing, while in the background, Pumbaa is attacked by piranhas, then crocodiles, then the Creature from the Black Lagoon. 2. A space shuttle falls on Pumbaa. The door opens, and Pumbaa stumbles out waving a little American flag. I thought it was a pretty funny animated short!
