Pooh, Timon, and Pumbaa's Virtual Ride Safari
Pooh, Timon, and Pumbaa's Virtual Ride Safari is upcoming another Winnie the Pooh crossover short film created by Daniel Esposito. It will appear on Odysee in the near future.
Plot[edit | edit source]
Timon and Pumbaa have built a ride called the Lion King Pride Lands Adventure and are taking Ma, Uncle Max, Winnie the Pooh, Ash Ketchum, Simba, and their friends for a ride. On the ride, the group rides on wildebeest-based ride vehicles. Despite initial difficulties caused by Timon sitting on the On Button, the group actually goes through parodies of various Disneyland and Walt Disney World attractions including "It's a Small World", "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride", "Matterhorn Bobsleds", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Jungle Cruise", "The Haunted Mansion", and "Splash Mountain". Things go really wrong, however, when the ride gets stuck in the "It's a Small World" parody and as a result of Pumbaa being unable to determine (at the time) which of the buttons on the ride vehicle is the emergency stop button, the vehicle is then launched out of the show building at an incredibly fast speed (including a really cheap ripoff of the "E.T. moon shot"), and is then sent on a whirlwind thrill ride through the Pride Lands that includes a madcap dash through the savanna, the elephant graveyard, the meerkat colony's tunnel network, an actual train, and even to the peak of Pride Rock. The group stops there to choose either go forwards or backwards down the tunnel used to defeat the Hyenas in the movie and through an icy cavern where they encounter the Yeti from Matterhorn Bobsleds (much to Ma's confusion).
Uncle Max refers to this ride as the worst he has ever riden on, and Timon will admit that his ride has a few bugs in it and needs a little extra tinkering while Pumbaa wants to go on it again.
The short is concluded with a montage of photos from the ride that shows Timon, Pumbaa, Ma, and Uncle Max reacting to different scenes.

- Unlike in the real special feature, Simba, Nala, and Zazu make their special appearances in this short film, due to Timon, Pumbaa, Ma, and Uncle Max being the only Lion King characters making appearances in the real special feature.
- Jonathan Oosterhof (aka LionKingRulezAgain1) was originally going to make this short film (since he originally made Pooh's Adventures of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride and the first few episodes of Pooh's Adventures of Timon & Pumbaa), but he retired from making anymore Pooh's Adventures films, so Daniel Esposito will make this short film instead, especially since he will take over most of the Winnie the Pooh/Lion King projects.
