Stand By Me (1995)
Stand By Me (1995)
Overview
This three-minute Disney animated short, released alongside Tom & Huck in 1995, features Timon and Pumbaa from The Lion King performing the classic Ben E. King song 'Stand By Me.' Timon sings while Pumbaa endures slapstick misfortune. That is the whole thing. At G-rated and politically inert, it carries a Leans Traditional label primarily because it does nothing to push against traditional norms. The cast is male and the humor is physical, the setting is cheerful and consequence-free. No social commentary, no identity themes, no friction of any kind. It reads Traditional-adjacent mostly by default, the way a plate of plain crackers leans toward whatever you put next to it.
Starring Cast
Kevin Schon • Ernie Sabella • Phillip Ingram
