What is the parent organization of the television animation production arm that created Timon & Pumbaa?
Timon &amp; Pumbaa (TV series) The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa, often simply referred to as Timon & Pumbaa, is an American animated television series created by Walt Disney Television Animation. Based on the 1994 Disney animated film "The Lion King", it centers on Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog, as they live their problem-free philosophy Hakuna Matata. The show ran for three seasons on CBS, Disney Channel, Toon Disney, and in syndication as a part of "The Disney Afternoon". It aired from September 8, 1995 to September 24, 1999. It is also the first "Lion King" related media to show humans, as humans were not present in the movie. It is the first of two television series to be based on the film, the second being "The Lion Guard".
Rankin/Bass Productions Rankin/Bass Productions, Inc. (founded as Videocraft International, Ltd.) was an American production company, known for its seasonal television specials, particularly its work in stop motion animation. The pre-1974 library is owned by Universal Studios (via DreamWorks Animation/DreamWorks Classics), while the post-1973 library is owned by Warner Bros. Rankin/Bass stop-motion features are recognisable by their visual style of doll-like characters with spheroid body parts, and ubiquitous powdery snow using an animation technique called "Animagic". Often, traditional cel animation scenes of falling snow would be projected over the action to create the effect of a snowfall.
