Costume evolution of Timon and Pumbaa.
Picture	Years 	As seen in 	Notes
 	1994 - 2015 	Disney parks, and some Disney on Ice shows 	Timon's costume is a lot slim with brown toes.
 	2012 - present 	Disney parks, and some Disney on Ice shows 	Timon's body is given more shape and his thighs are a lot rounder and calves are slightly slimmer. He now has dark brown toes.
 	1997 - present 	The Lion King
(musical) 	These are the full-body puppets of the duo used in the touring shows. Timon is orange with a yellow ochre muzzle and belly, and his left eye is larger than the right one. His puppeteered by an actor in green skin and clothes similarly to Big Bird from Sesame Street (one hand operating the mouth, and the other controlling the arm though with a trigger behind his elbow).
Pumbaa is dark brown with a basket-like rump and unveils the actor with a white face and standing hair, and the actor can only move his front legs. This version also has the capability to open his mouth and wiggle his tongue.
 	1999-2002 	Disney on Ice: 100 Years of Magic 	Pumbaa makes his "live" costumed debut resembling his animated counterpart with white eyes.
 	2000 - 2015 	Disney on Ice 	This Pumbaa has yellow eyes and green pupils. His tail sometimes appears either upward or downward.
 	2004 - present 	Disney parks 	An articulated Timon modeled after the 1994 costume.
 	2011 - 2015, later 2024 - present	Disney on Ice: Passport to Adventure and Let's Dance	
 	2014 - present 	Disney on Ice 	Pumbaa's legs are thicker like an actual warthog.
 	2019 - present 	Disney on Ice: Road Trip Adventures 	This version of Timon almost resembles the current park version except that his mask is smaller and unveils the performer's mouth, but the performer's mouth was concealed later on. He has reddish-brown stripes on his body, thighs, and tail.
And this Pumbaa presumably resembles the Broadway version as the body parts are split, though more like the animated one. He is only carried by one skater, and as his hind legs are small, he doesn't skate normally unlike the other versions.
