Timon and Pumbaa Return as Disney Refreshes Iconic Wild About Safety Program

Timon and Pumbaa Return for a Fresh Take on Disney’s “Wild About Safety”

Timon & Pumbaa are officially back on duty, and they’ve brought a fresh new look to Disney’s most iconic safety initiative! In an exciting collaboration, FM (formerly FM Global) and Disney have announced the relaunch of the Disney Wild About Safety program. This fan-favorite campaign, which has been educating guests on park etiquette and safety for over two decades, is getting a modern makeover to ensure every visit to a Disney park is as safe as it is magical.

Since 2003, the Wild About Safety program has used the lovable duo from The Lion King to teach families how to stay safe while vacationing. Presented by FM, a leader in commercial property insurance and risk management, the program is designed to simplify complex safety concepts into “Safety Smart” tips that even the youngest travelers can understand.

With the relaunch, the program continues its mission to promote awareness around common park behaviors—like staying seated on attractions, keeping hydrated in the sun, and following cast member instructions—all through the lens of Timon and Pumbaa’s hilarious adventures.

The updated program isn’t just about nostalgia; it’s built for today’s digital-savvy guests. The refresh includes:

• Updated Animation: Timon and Pumbaa appear in refreshed, high-quality animation that aligns with modern Disney standards.
• New Digital Content: Look for a suite of new “Safety Smart” videos and digital materials that will be accessible online and through various Disney platforms.
• Global Reach: The program will continue to be a staple at Disney parks worldwide, from Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort to Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland.

Whether it’s reminding guests to “Look Before You Leap” or “Stay Seated, Please,” the Wild About Safety program covers a wide range of topics. By using Timon and Pumbaa, Disney and FM are able to tackle serious safety messages in a way that feels like entertainment rather than a lecture.

“Safety is a core value at Disney, and our partnership with FM allows us to share important information in a way that is uniquely Disney,” a spokesperson for the program noted.

Keep an eye out for these “Safety Smart” tips during your next Disney vacation! From the attraction queues to the resort hotels, Timon and Pumbaa are here to make sure your only worry is which snack to eat next.
