Let's Serengeti Out of Here

"Let's Serengeti Out of Here" is an episode from The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa.

Synopsis
Timon and Pumbaa are captured and forced to live in a wildlife preserve because its owner believes they belong to endangered species.

Plot
"Let's Serengeti Out of Here" begins by introducing Timon, a meerkat, and Pumbaa, a warthog. At the start of the episode, an overzealous biologist named Mr. Happy takes Timon and Pumbaa to an Animal Sanctuary because he thinks they're endangered species. Timon tricks Mr. Happy into thinking that he's endangered as well so he and Pumbaa can escape the sanctuary.

After Timon and Pumbaa try various ways to get out of the sanctuary and fail, Mr. Happy tells the two that he did not find an Overzealous Biologist Sanctuary and Timon tells him that they were just trying to get rid of him, which upsets Mr. Happy. Mr. Happy tells Timon and Pumbaa that he built some things they can do at the Animal Sanctuary. Timon and Pumbaa see the things and are eager to do those things. After Timon eats some bugs, Pumbaa begins to feel homesick and wants to get out of the Animal Sanctuary, but Timon wants to stay.

28 years later, Timon begins to feel homesick as well. Pumbaa gets an idea that the two tunnel out while Mr. Happy is distracted and, of course, Timon takes that idea as if it's his own. Timon uses potato bags to make Mr. Happy mistake them for Timon and Pumbaa, and then the meerkat puts the bags on a wagon and pushes a string to make the wagon move fast and run into the fence. Mr. Happy sees that animals are escaping the Animal Sanctuary and he and his dog go after the animals.

Timon and Pumbaa tunnel out of the Animal Sanctuary. The two are happy that they're free from the sanctuary, but then they run into Mr. Happy and his dog and run away from them, and Mr. Happy chases the two.
