This Was the First Character to Ever Fart in a Disney Film
The Big Picture The Lion King, 1994, is among the most treasured of Disney's animated features, as well as one of its best live-action adaptations. The world of the African Pride Lands is beautifully realized, and within that world is a wealth of memorable characters. Surprisingly, it's the first Disney animated film with a completely original storyline, with nods to Hamlet and Bambi.
That's right. A fart, a toot, passed gas, an SBD , a seat rumbler. Whatever you call it, it took a whopping 57 years between Disney's first animated feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and The Lion King for Disney to record its first flatulence on film. There were certainly opportunities. Pinocchio's Pleasure Island was filled with boys, which are, by and large, the guiltiest of passing gas parties . Same thing with the Lost Boys of Neverland in Peter Pan.
Pumbaa's Historic First Is Flat Out Funny It seems almost ridiculous in hindsight, but for those that saw the film in theaters back in 1994, the moment was almost shocking but decidedly hilarious. To place it into context, Simba has run away from Pride Rock after the death of his father, Mufasa , a death that he has been led to believe he caused by his devious uncle, Scar .
Wait, did that just happen? Yes, the warthog broke wind. But Pumbaa didn't just cut the cheese passively. He let 'er rip, killing the grass behind him and forcing his friends standing downwind to flee from the toxicity of it. Then, just in case the moment didn't connect, Timon silences his friend with a "not in front of the children" just as Pumbaa is about to rhyme "down-hearted" with the now only-to-obvious word.
The Lion King was a first for farting in a Disney animated film but was not the first time farting was heard on film. That prestigious moment would fall on Mel Brooks' classic Western spoof Blazing Saddles during the infamous campfire scene. Nevertheless, it stands as one of the few scenes from a Disney film that classifies as bathroom humor.
