Ned's clique

Ned's clique is a group of animals in Hakuna Matata. It is led by Ned, the jungle's most popular elephant.
==History==
===The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa===
===="Uganda Be an Elephant"====
Timon and Pumbaa admire Ned the elephant for his popularity. Timon points out all the benefits an elephant enjoyed over every other animal, including a trunk for showers, birds that rode on its back, and long tusks. Pumbaa begins contemplating becoming an elephant. The next morning, he excitedly asks Timon for help in transforming himself into an elephant. Because Pumbaa's goal was to become more popular, Timon jumps at the opportunity.
The first step is for Pumbaa to become bigger and fatter. Timon begins shoveling worms into Pumbaa's mouth. The warthog is happy at first, but as he becomes full, he grows miserable and thinks that perhaps he should be himself. The next step, Timon says, is to condition his friend's mind to never forget. Timon soon becomes frustrated at Pumbaa's slow wit and poor memory. Pumbaa points out that Timon is not popular because he is grumpy.
The final step Timon takes is to stretch Pumbaa's snout out to be an elephant trunk. He wedges Pumbaa's head between two palm trees and hooks a rope to his nose. He then rolls a boulder over the edge, and it pulls the rope on Pumbaa's nose, stretching it to a disproportionate length. Timon congratulates his friend on his successful transformation into an elephant and convinces him to gloat in Ned's face. Pumbaa, however, does not want to show his elephant form to Ned, as he has a feeling that he would get laughed at and made fun of. Timon tells his friend that he would be right there with him and that he would help him.
When they arrive, Ned and his clique pointed and laugh at the "Pumbaaphant." They laugh so hard that, as they are walking away, they plummet over a cliff. Though he is barely hanging on, Ned still tries to make fun of Pumbaa, who is trying to rescue him and his clique. Eventually, he grabs on to one of Pumbaa's tusks and is towed up. Ned then has a change of heart and offers Pumbaa an honorary spot in his clique. However, Pumbaa refuses, saying that he is proud to be exactly who he is: a warthog.
