Item Description
Timon
THE LION KING
1997
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase. Timon, along with his friend Pumbaa, wander the lands of Africa living the easy life with “No worries!” Our Timon bear, recreated in the style of Julie Taymor’s Tony Award-winning costume design, wears a digitally reproduced cotton blend jumpsuit based on the original hand-painted fabric first worn on stage by Max Casella. Strips of the same fabric have been interwoven with black yak hair to create Timon’s wig. And thanks to Bill Hubner, a member of the original New York puppet crew, Timon’s face has been painted by hand based on the original make-up plots from the show. Since many of the aspects of the musical are based in an Eastern theatrical style, the actor fades into the background and focus is placed on the puppet. Naturally, our bear comes complete with a replica of the Timon puppet worn by the actors in the show. He has a “problem-free philosophy! Hakuna Matata!”
Broadway Bear designed by Joel Miller
Special thanks to Bonnie Snowden, Renie Sabol, Bill Hubner (costume and
face makeup) and Islah Abdul-Rahiim (puppet construction)
