There's HUGE Backlash Over The Way Pumbaa Looks In The New 'Lion King'
Disney just released new character posters for the live-action version of The Lion King, and fans are freaking out.
Pumbaa looks like something out of a nightmare and the reaction on Twitter is super divided.
Have you seen the new character posters for Disney's live-action version of The Lion King yet? I'm assuming not or you'd be screaming into the void right now, wondering what you did to deserve your childhood memories of Pumbaa being destroyed in this unexpected manner. Yep, tragically it seems like Disney simply couldn't capture this gassy legend's face in live-action form, because he looks....Well. He looks f*cked up. And people are very disturbed!
The internet is absolutely shook by Pumbaa popping up on their timelines and in their nightmares and are taking to Twitter to, what else? Complain bitterly and settle right into their righteous Disney feelings. Here are some of the more extra tweets from people who simply cannot deal with Pumbaa being done dirty like this.

I will not be weighing in on the "horrifying photorealistic Pumbaa" discourse as I'm still haunted by feelings of complicity in body shaming toothy Sonic out of existence

Therapist: It's okay, photo realistic Pumbaa isn't real & can't hurt you.

Of course, it should be noted some people are on Team "PUMBAA LOOKS JUST FINE GUYS," so let's give them some representation here also. To be fair, he does look like a pretty realistic warthog! A warthog who's seen some things, but sure.

Welp, I remain scared. Anyway, here's the trailer for The Lion King in case it makes you feel better which it will because BEYONCÉ.
In the immortal word of Pumbaa himself, "It's times like this my buddy Timon here says, 'You got to put your behind in your past.'"
