    I was so Shocked when I found out that this guy played Pepper in Modern Family was Timon in the Lion King. And he didn't have to do a voice, this is his actual voice!!!

    Hearing this man brings back happy childhood memories. Eating a bowl of cereal in front of the TV on a Saturday morning, I hadn't a care in the world (apart from the typical playground conflicts), and TLK was my all time favorite movie. God, I miss the 90's!

  • @grungefreak10
    @grungefreak10 13 лет назад +6

    As the voice of that tiny, little known animal, he really stole the show. Nathan Lane is an incredible talent alright.
    The screenplay I am tweaking started out as a comedy, but really grew into a serious drama. While I know of Nathan mainly from humorous roles, I could totally see him as the hard boiled father (who I really envisioned as Detective Munch, from Law and Order.)

      @@rileyjones3703 In the interview with Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick for one of the newer DVD versions, Nathan confirmed he only auditioned for the hyenas, not Zazu. That was very interesting watching them look back on the Lion King. :) You can find it here on RUclips - extended interview with Nathan and Matthew.

  • @timrob12
    @timrob12 12 лет назад +5

    The fun fact is that Timon and Pumbaa are voiced by two flemish actors in the dutch version of the film! They were the two only characters voiced by Belgian actors, who could continue doing the job thanks to the popularity of the characters!

  • @SonicRyan1992
    @SonicRyan1992 Год назад +1

    i feel like it's always underappreciated how much Timon and Pumbaa mean to the Lion King.
    here you are, and emotionally wrecked child: you saw Simba's life in danger, his dad dies after having a heart to heart a few scenes ago, Simba cries in agony, he cries for help, he cries in despair. now you're just as done, and dried up from all the spent tears, as he is lying there about to die himself
    and in come the cavalry of comic relief to pick you right back up

  • @andreapatane4204
    @andreapatane4204 12 лет назад +3

    Lie down before you hurt yourself. What do you want me to do? Dress in drag and do the hula? ROFL! Timon is one of my favorite characters when I was a kid. He poked me in the chest during The Lion King parade @ Disneyland.
