Uncle of Pumbaa |
Uncle Boaris is Pumbaa's uncle who appears in "Russia Hour" of The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa.
Appearance
Edit
Uncle Boaris is a warthog with light greenish skin, a mustache underneath his snout, and large eyebrows. He has a normal sized right eye with a white cornea, and an enlarged left eye with a reddish cornea and a beady iris. Unlike like his nephew, Boaris stands on two legs, and wears clothing such as a reddish shirt, a reddish handkerchief, and an ushanka.
PersonalityEdit
Much like his nephew, Uncle Boaris has a friendly personality, as shown when he greets his company with strong hugs.
InformationEdit
In the episode, Timon and Pumbaa travel to Russia to meet Pumbaa's uncle, Uncle Boaris. Along with the way, Pumbaa tells his friend that he wants to make a good impression with him. When they arrive at his door after climbing a height of stairs, Boaris opens the door smashing it on Timon, and mistakes him for a muffler. Pumbaa informs his uncle that the "muffler" is actually his best friend. After giving the two a tight hug, Boaris informs them that his ballet shows are not as successful as they used to be, but he plans to have a final performance tomorrow. When he practices for his show before the two, he accidentally falls down the long stairs breaking every bone in his body. Next, Boaris ends up in a hospital, and suggests to his nephew that he fills in for him.
When Pumbaa fails to follow in his uncle's footsteps, at a performance of Swine Lake, Timon stalls for time by doing a stand-up comedy act. Suddenly, the audience cheers when Boaris, having fully recovered, appears onstage. When Boaris finishes his act (with help from Timon), the audience triumphantly erupts praising the performance with Timon and Pumbaa in amazement. When asked by Pumbaa how he recovered so fast, his uncle replies he didn't, and his body cracks into pieces.
