"Be More Pacific" is the first segment from the 21st episode of Timon and Pumbaa.
Synopsis
Pumbaa runs into a beached whale named Lester. Lester asks Pumbaa if he could throw him back in the ocean, otherwise he will become a "fish stick" with all the sun. Pumbaa agrees to help him, and when he does so, the warthog sees that Lester is an enchanted 3 wish wishing whale. Pumbaa doesn't wish for anything and Lester tells the warthog that if he changes his mind, he can return to the ocean and call him. Pumbaa goes to Timon to tell him about Lester. Timon is surprised to hear that Pumbaa didn't wish for anything. Pumbaa tells Timon that wishes can be dangerous when he reminds him of the magic lamp. But Timon says that the lamp and Lester are two different magic things and tells Pumbaa to go back to wish for something big and expensive.
After Pumbaa tells Lester that Timon wants something big and expensive, the warthog finds Timon on the Statue of Liberty. Timon says that he and Pumbaa should start being specific with their wishes, and the meerkat wishes to be king. After Pumbaa goes back to Lester, he finds Timon big like King Kong, standing on an Empire State Building with a jet flying around him. Timon wishes that he were a king living in a large stony castle, with security systems and a ferocious fire-breathing monster with claws and wings that he can defeat. After Pumbaa tells Lester their final wish, Lester turns into a human princess and walks away. Pumbaa then finds Timon as a king and sees everything just like Timon wished for.
Timon and Pumbaa see a big fire-breathing chicken (which was supposed to be a dragon) entering the castle. Timon doesn't accept the chicken at first, but says it'll have to do. The meerkat tries several ways to defeat the chicken, but he is unable to do so because Pumbaa accidentally told Lester that Timon wished for a fire-breathing monster that he can't defeat. Timon gets angry at Pumbaa for saying so and now the two have to try to avoid the chicken. The chicken blows fire on an alarm and now the windows and the gate close and the security system is everywhere in the castle.
Later, Timon gets an idea about wishes and he and Pumbaa sneak pass the chicken to get to the stairs. The chicken sees them and the two quickly go up the stairs, go outside, and close ground door and put stuff on it, such as a piano and a safe. Timon's idea is to find another magic fish to wish for the chicken to disappear, but it seems that it will take forever to do so.
