Timon: Welcome to the nighttime safari boat tour! Hello everyone! My name is Timon! I'll be your skipper today on the Leaky Westbucket! (Nervous Laughing)

(Boat moves)

Oh well, Wave goodbye to your families, Folks! You may never see them again! Of course, if they're like my family, you may prefer that! (Laugh) Just kidding, Ma! Anyways, please keep your arms, legs, tails, and tusks in the boat at all times! Pumbaa, Got your camera ready?

Pumbaa: All ready, Timon!

(A yellow firefly comes up)

Timon: Ooh! A Bobson's Firefly! They're very rare!

(Pumbaa eats the Firefly)

Timon: And now, They're Extinct!

Pumbaa: But delicous! (BURP!)

(Hippos come up on the right)

Timon: Over on your right, I heard of Hippos! Some of these Babies weigh as much as 30 warthogs and boy do they look like it!

(Hippo opens her mouth)

Except for you, Madam.

(Another Hippo opens his mouth)

They look hungry! Maybe we'd better go around them!

Hey guys! Which way? Left or Right?

Pumbaa: Yeah! Pick something! And fast! They're looking at me funny!

Timon: Pumbaa, Everyone looks at you funny!

Pumbaa: Hurry up and decide, would ya! They're twiching their ears!

If you chose Left, You'll get this:

(Rain starts)

Timon: Now as we move further downriver, Notice the sudden changes in weather! Very characteristic to the area!

Pumbaa: Aah! Rain! That feels good! Very refreshing!

Timon (In disgust): (Breaths) I love the smell of wet Pumbaa in the evening! It smells like... YYYOOOOOOOOEEE!

(Thunder crashes in the distance)

(Pumbaa Whines)

Timon: Pumbaa... you're not scared of a little thunder, are ya?

(Thundering Thunderclap with a Lightning bolt strikes the boat, Subwoofer is extremely intense.)

Timon: MOMMY! (SPLASH!)

Pumbaa: Uh, skipper, why did you jump out of the boat?

Timon: I was just showing our passengers that the waters are perfectly safe! Hehe! Yeah, that's it!

If you chose Right, you'll get this:

(Boat moves to the right, you see Pride Rock)

Timon: OK! Over on your right, a rock! Pee! Big deal! A rock!

Pumbaa: Timon! Isn't that Pride Rock? The king's home and metaphoric heart and soul of the Savana?

Timon: Uh, Yeah that's what I meant.

Pumbaa: Hey, Timon, aren't there snakes in this part of the river?

Timon: Snakes? Snakes don't swim.

Pumbaa: But they can CLIMB!

(Snake attacks)

Timon and Pumbaa: AAAAAAH!

Timon: Quick! Go around it! Go! Go!

Pumbaa: How do you know it's a him?

Timon: There's no way I'm getting close enough to find out!

(Boat stops)

Ok, pal! What do you think? Left or right?

Pumbaa: Pick left! Pick left!

Timon: They can pick whatever they want!

Pumbaa: Yeah! But pick left!

Timon: Why?

Pumbaa: I've got a good feeling about it!

If you chose left (Pumbaa's reccomendation), You'll get this:

(Lion roars in the distance)

Timon: Oh! Great choice, Pumbaa!

Pumbaa: Sorry!

Timon: Sorry Shmorry! We're caught on something! Now what are we gonna do?

Pumbaa: Notice the tranquil harmony of the flowing water as it...

Timon: ...As it flows right by us because we're Jammed, Lodged, Snagged, As in... NOT MOVING! Sheez! Rock the boat! Run back and forth! Throw your weight around, you know, to shift the boat!

Pumbaa: Hmm, OK!

(Pumbaa stomps the boat, the boat finally touches the water.)

If you chose Right, this is what you get:

Pumbaa: Timon, It's hippos again!

Timon: Hakuna matata, Pumbaa! No worries! Unless they wiggle their ears!

(The hippos wiggle their ears!)

Pumbaa: Uh oh!

(The Hippos spray water onto the boat)

Timon: Bleeaah! Oooh! You got the warthog wet again! Thank you!

(Hippos make noise in the distance)

The following does not have a left or right choice.

Timon: Now where were we? Oh yes! If you all look straight ahead, you can see the nice, calm, quiet...

(Monkeys make some noise)

Timon: (Gibberish)! (Gibberish)! Get out of here!

Pumbaa: Gat's...

Rafiki (Hand in your face): STOP! ssssssssh!

(Monkeys fly off)

Timon: Show off!

(Engine stalls)

Timon: Aah! Finally, a little peace! Completely quiet! Not a sound! Not even the sound of the boat?! Pumbaa? Are we stalled?

Pumbaa: No problem! I got it handled!

(The light turns off, the boat's battery drains)

Timon: Hurry up! These are alligator infested waters!

Pumbaa (factual): Don't be silly, Timon! Alligators live in the humid, mucky swamps of North America. Nope! These tributaries are home to...

(Crocs jump onto the boat)

Cccc... CCC... CROCIDILES! AAAAAAAAAAAH!

Timon: FORWARD!

(Boat races through swerves)

Oy! That was a close one! Oh! I think I'm having chest pains!

Pumbaa: I'm feeling gassy!

Timon: No! Pumbaa! Don't!

(Pumbaa Farts)

Oy! Tell me that's swamp vapors!

Ok, folks! Quickly! Left or right? Pick Right! It looks well ventilated!

Pumbaa: Left looks nice too!

There was a mixing error during the creation of the feature, Here is the corrected version

If you chose Left, This is what you get:

Timon: Well, you may be right, Pumbaa. This does look nice!

Notice the calm, pleasant... Fogbank!

Pumbaa: Hmm, I wonder what that sound is?

Timon: It sounds like... Water!

Louder and louder water!

(You see the edge of a waterfall!)

It's a WATERFALL! OOH! SORRY! SKIPPER KNOWS LEAST!

Timon and Pumbaa:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

If you chose right, this is what you get:.

Timon: See? Good choice! Your skipper knows best!

Timon and Pumbaa's Virtual Safari

• View history

Timon and Pumbaa's Virtual Safari is a feature that has been included in DVDs for The Lion King , The Lion King II: Simba's Pride , and The Lion King 1½ .

Virtual Safari [ ]

The feature is narrated by Timon and Pumbaa , who take the viewer on a virtual tour of the Pride Lands . One of the stops is an area called Restaurant Road, with a bug-focused restaurant on the left and a hyena-run restaurant on the right.

Virtual Safari 2.0 [ ]

This version of Virtual Safari is heavily influenced by the first. It features some of the same elements, such as the character of Gertie the Elephant. In the final scene, Stitch from Lilo & Stitch makes a cameo.

Virtual Safari 1.5 [ ]

For this version of Virtual Safari, Timon and Pumbaa have built a ride called the Lion King Pride Lands Adventure, and are taking Ma and Max for a ride. Despite initial difficulties caused by Timon sitting on the "On" button, the group actually goes through parodies of various Disneyland attractions, including "It's a Small World", "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride", "Matterhorn Bobsleds", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Jungle Cruise", "The Haunted Mansion", and "Splash Mountain". No matter which good choice is selected, however, Uncle Max will still refer to this ride as the worst he has ever ridden on.

Disney’s Virtual Safari Puts Timon and Pumbaa in Driver’s Seat

Lion King DVD Set-Top Game Repurposes Digital Assets for New 3D Experience.

Timon and Pumbaa step into their own with Virtual Safari , which is included in the new Lion King special edition DVD. All images © Disney. All rights reserved.

Timon and Pumbaa have come a long way since their Rosencrantz and Guildenstern-like turn in The Lion King . Early next year, the zany meerkat and warthog star in their own Disney DVD premiere, The Lion King 1-1/2 , but in the meantime they host Virtual Safari , a fun and fitting set-top game on the new Lion King special edition DVD thats a cross between the venerable Jungle Cruise and Indiana Jones Disney theme park rides. With a simple flick of the remote, viewers can choose between the jeep and jungle cruiser options and take a wild ride with their nervous guides as they navigate through dangerous territory, while familiar images from the movie dart back and forth. You may think youre in control of the direction, but Timon and Pumbaa are in the drivers seat (with Ernie Sabella reprising the voice of Pumbaa and a Nathan Lane sound-alike voicing Timon).

Thus, Virtual Safari marks the first time that Buena Vista Home Entertainment has partnered so ambitiously with its colleagues at Disney Feature Animation and DisneyToon Studios to produce a virtual set-top game of this type. Our quest was to expand the set top experience and, given that it was The Lion King , to try and do something that was a higher benchmark, explains Andy Siditsky, sr vp worldwide creative services and DVD production. We thought: wouldnt it be cool to create a virtual tour through The Lion King experience. We started thinking about various theme park rides land Timon and Pumbaa were our natural hosts. That led to different ways of doing it and different pieces and wondering where would you go?

We talked about a jeep tour and a boat tour and even a walking tour, but then it became too long. Working with re-recording mixer Terry Porter, we brainstormed [within our small group]. We worked very closely with the Feature Animation team in developing the animation and assets for this kind of experience. Honestly, we didnt know if we could pull it off. This had never been done before. We went down to Walt Disney World and hung out on [ The Jungle Cruise ] and read some of the scripts and really used those as our guide. In fact, I had a script that Disneyland had issued a long time ago. By doing this experiment as we did and ending up where we did, its given us a whole new avenue to create these virtual safari type of experiences.

Indeed, there will be another virtual game on The Lion King 1-1/2 DVD to be released Feb. 10, 2004. Only this time the roller coaster experience will be patterned after Mr. Toads Wild Ride , with a lot more humor and Lane on hand to voice Timon.

Siditsky adds that the initial challenge was how to make the game appealing as a set-top experience, since were competing with so many others, and how do we relate it to The Lion King and enhance the experience within this theme park-style ride on DVD. There was a lot of trial and error and the script writing was something that we wanted to make sure was engaging enough and had some adult humor too.

Meanwhile, from an animation standpoint, the trick was how to repurpose the movie into the game. The challenge on any of these things is to really try to get the quality up to the level of the movie, adds Dave Bossert, a producer/artistic coordinator on Virtual Safari , who served as an FX animator on The Lion King back in 95. You know youre never going to do that due to time and budget restraints, but thats the goal. And I think in this particular case, the lushness, the fun of it and the amount of information shows [after six months of work].

Bossert, who currently works at DisneyToon Studios, says they wound up combining traditional and CG elements throughout the game. For instance, when Timon and Pumbaa are in their jeep and get stuck in the famous Wildebeast Stampede, the animators put in a different environment. We took some beautiful backgrounds from the movie and cut them apart digitally and created a new jungle along the riverbank, layering in new materials.

Bossert suggests that this is the first time theres been such a synergy at the studio among the home entertainment and animation divisions and outside vendors. It was a very creative environment with a lot of conversations going on without the typical youre supposed to do this and youre supposed to do that. I spent a number of hours at John Ross shop at Gork Enterprises and it was a very collaborative process. We supplied them with digital images that were projection mapped onto billboards. They put together the CG elements and digital artwork and built the environments. I helped them match the look of the film, such as when repurposed monkeys jump up and down on the bow of the jungle cruiser.

Bossert estimates that about 20% of The Lion King was repurposed for Virtual Safari . We were able to use environmental bits from the movie so that it felt like you were going through part of the Pridelands as opposed to starting from scratch.

Timon & Pumbaa's Vacation Safari

• View history

The short was first included in the 2012 DVD, Blu-ray and digital releases of The Lion King 1½ where it was released on March 6 , 2012 prior to the Diamond Edition of The Lion King returning to the Disney Vault on April 30 , 2013 . When The Lion King 1½ was re-released on DVD and Blu-ray on August 29 , 2017 along with The Lion King II: Simba's Pride , the short was included exclusively on the Blu-ray and digital formats of the home video's release, as the 2017 DVD edition has completely removed all bonus features.

Timon and Pumbaa are watching a movie via projector screen at the jungle waiting for everyone to watch. Soon as the movie starts, they see footage of live-action animals - specifically animals representing African fauna just as Pumbaa explains to Timon that there are many animals like the ones in the video seen in the Pride Lands and throughout the montage, Timon tells him that he is ruining the script he made. The scene loops into a hippopotamus swimming underwater, where Timon explains to Pumbaa that hippos can be extremely aggressive creatures, followed by Timon looking at a crocodile (whom he thinks it is an alligator) which Pumbaa tells Timon the difference between alligators and crocodiles. The next animal the two seen is the rhinoceros which Pumbaa explains to Timon that the rhinoceros' name originates from the Greek words for "horn" and "nose", explaining to him that despite their weak eyesight, rhinos have a great sense of hearing and scent.

After this, Pumbaa and Timon are commenting on the footage of warthogs and meerkats like their own species, showing the differences of what makes these species unique. After Pumbaa tells Timon that meerkats like him are immune to venom from scorpions , the former tells Timon that he has a scorpion on him which Timon overreacts, interrupting the movie for a bit, figuring out that Timon is safe after all. As Timon and Pumbaa continue watching the movie, they see footage of African elephants , with Timon explaining that elephants can drink over forty gallons of water a day and communicate through bellowing. Pumbaa suddenly hears an overlapping stampede, which Timon mistakes them for their guests to which as the stampede arrives, the animals pass through the projector screen, causing Timon and Pumbaa's movie to become ruined. Pumbaa asks Timon if he can finish the hors d'oeuvres which Timon tells him to do so.

Voice Cast [ ]

• Kevin Schon as Timon
• Ernie Sabella as Pumbaa
• On the start of the short, the projector screen features the opening credits on Timon and Pumbaa's "movie" where Timon is the only one "credited" on making this "movie" - hinting that Timon was the only one who "made" the "movie".
• Footage from Disney's Animal Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort was used in the short - specifically focusing on animals from the Africa section of the park as confirmed by the short's ending.

I Recreated Timon and Pumbaa's Virtual Safari Jeep Tour for the Web

Introduction.

Link to project here

As a disclaimer, I am still a student and by no means a professional. This project was always something I wanted to do when I became introduced to user experience design and web development. However, rather than jumping in and starting this project immediately, I wanted to learn all of the tools as much as I could so that I create a final product I was proud of. Is what I am sharing perfect, nope. The question I asked myself before writing this post however is whether or not my project elicits the same emotions I experienced sitting cross-legged on the carpet in front of the tube TV. The answer to that question would be an undeniable Yes .

Well what is Timon and Pumbaa's Virtual Safari?

But Alexander, what is The Lion King?

Shut down your computer, go to your preferred streaming service and watch the movie. Seriously. Now go.

Why did I recreate this game of all things?

Besides nostalgia, so that the game can exist on a platform in which everyone can interact with it as it was meant to be experienced, rather than watching a YouTube video of someone else playing it.

How did I do it?

Here's the general order of steps I took in order to achieve the final product.

• Downloaded and edited YouTube video of the entire game into multiple smaller clips ( Source Clip ). To do this I used DaVinci Resolve, a free editing software I have used in the past to make short films and other videos.
• Create a responsive screen with HTML and CSS in which the user would interact with the game. I wanted to have the game work in both portrait and landscape mode on mobile so I used @media queries and orientation: landscape so that the game would perform correctly.
• Figure out the logic of the game with JavaScript (this was the hardest part of the process of course). I knew there wasn't just one path that I needed to take in order to reach a working version, as is the way with problem-solving.
• I first put the sources of each of the video clips I made into an array where a function would grab the desired video.
• I choose to use a switch statement as the brains behind the choices ( Switch Statement Documentation ). There are three total switch statements in the program: one for when a video ends, one for the left button, one for the right button.
