"Frantic Atlantic" is an episode from The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa.

Synopsis

Plot
"Frantic Atlantic" begins by introducing Timon, a meerkat, and Pumbaa, a warthog. The episode starts with Timon and Pumbaa arriving to Antarctica. Timon thinks that there are ants in the continent, until he discovers that they are hibernated because of the weather and suggests that he and Pumbaa return during summer. Timon and Pumbaa are now at a boat stop freezing. Pumbaa has a feeling that they can't get on the boat because they don't have tickets. The two then meet a penguin named Irwin and sees that he has two extra tickets. This gives Timon an idea that in order to get the tickets, he and Pumbaa have to befriend Irwin. When Timon, Pumbaa, and Irwin get on the boat, they see other penguins waving at them all injured, that's when Timon and Pumbaa find out that Irwin is accident-prone.

When Irwin looks for a cabin him, Timon, and Pumbaa to stay, he accidentally knocks Timon into one of the machines that take him to one of the cabins. When Timon is about to get out, Irwin opens the door, which hits Timon, to look for the meerkat. When he doesn't find Timon, he closes the door and Timon is on a life ring. The life ring hops off the wall and rolls and falls down the stairs and goes to Timon, Pumbaa, and Irwin's cabin. Later, Pumbaa tells Timon how great it is to hang out with Irwin, but Timon disagrees with Pumbaa, complaining about the penguin's clumsiness. Irwin then shows up for Timon and Pumbaa to play a game of shuffleboard with him. Pumbaa plays shuffleboard with Irwin, but Timon prefers to watch because of his feelings about some possible accidents that can happen.

When it's Irwin turn to hit the ball, the ball goes all over the boat and hits a panel that takes an anchor in the water. A whale then pops out and throws the anchor back up and the anchor goes back down and hits Pumbaa. Back in the cabin, Timon expects Pumbaa to now agree with him about Irwin, but Pumbaa suggests they give the penguin another chance. When Irwin shows up, Timon tricks him into playing a game of hide-and-seek. When Irwin leaves the cabin, he does something that causes the boat to sink.

After the shipwreck, Timon and Pumbaa go on an island with their suitcase. Timon is happy about Irwin not being with them, but Pumbaa tells the meerkat that he should feel unhappy. When Timon goes to the suitcase, it opens and shows that Irwin has been hiding in it. Timon is unhappy about that and says "Will this nightmare never end?" Pumbaa tells Irwin that Timon was happy because he thought the penguin was at the bottom of the ocean forever. Then Timon tells Irwin that he and Pumbaa were just pretending to be his friends because they wanted the tickets. Pumbaa suggests that they start a new friendship. But Timon wants to get rid of Irwin, and to do so, he tricks the penguin into playing a new game called "Get Lost." Irwin then accidentally causes the island to sink. Pumbaa tells Timon that the meerkat that he was right about Irwin and the warthog says "What a mook."
