Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella remember The Lion King 30 years later.
This June marks 30 years since The Lion King was released in theaters. The animated film is a fan-favorite among Disney fans, and it sparked sequels, a Broadway show, a TV series, and even a live-action remake. There are many beloved characters in The Lion King , including Timon and Pumbaa, the meerkat and warthog voiced by Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella. The duo recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly, and revealed how Pumbaa became Disney's first farting character.
"We did a five-show weekend, Friday, Saturday, Saturday, Sunday, Sunday," Sabella added."And then we had an early morning Disney session, and we usually had a 10 o'clock session, but this time it was like a 9 o'clock session. So, we get there, and we're pretty beat up from five shows, and to get the ball rolling, I just started making these sounds as he was reading his lines. He kept laughing, going, 'Don't do that, don't do that.
"He came out from his audition, and I said, 'Could we read together?'" Lane explained."'It'll be easier to do since it's three different characters, and we know each other. So, we went in and we improvised a bit and had a lot of fun."
