Synopsis: Marking their first theatrical appearance since THE LION KING (USA/1994), the jungle's oddest and most endearing duo--a merry meerkat named Timon and his carefree warthog companion, Pumbaa--return to the big screen to offer a rollicking rendition of "Stand By Me," the 1961 pop hit immortalized by Ben E. King and written by King, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Timon does most of the crooning as his clumsy co-star attempts to "stand by" him only to be confronted with a succession of comic catastrophes.
