Development
In 1995, Roberts Gannaway and Tony Craig had joined Disney to produce the series. Gannaway stated that he and Craig wanted to expand on Timon and Pumbaa's personalities as a comedy team to keep the series fresh and to make it more interesting, they decided to not have Timon and Pumbaa remain in the Serengeti throughout the entire show, but allowing them to explore the world and meet different kinds of animals.[1]
According to one of the show's writers Kevin Campbell, at the beginning of the series, he and Gannaway made a giant list of puns using country names to open the doors on how many places they could go. After figuring out which funny animal or obstacle situation Timon and Pumbaa would face, they used a "Which Animals Live Where" atlas reference book to find where in the world an episode could take place and check a list of country puns they could pick.[2]
