The Lion King’s Timon & Pumbaa (season 3) end credits
The Lion King’s Timon & Pumbaa is a slapstick comedy television series produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. It was aired on CBS Saturday Morning, as well as in syndication on The Disney Afternoon, from 1995 to 1996, before getting one more season exclusive to Toon Disney in 1999.
The series is a spin-off of the hit 1994 Disney animated feature film The Lion King, and follows the misadventures of Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog as they continue to live by their problem-free philosophy hakuna matata. Compared to most other The Lion King media, the tone of the series is more slapstick comedy-oriented, as it was made to be reminiscent of old Looney Tunes and MGM theatrical cartoons that influenced the show’s sense of humor.
The season 3 end credits (1998) were set in a digital version of Filmotype Prima, most likely Bitstream’s Impress.

Hi Daniel,
The specific font in question is most likely Bitstream’s Impress, which is a 1980s digitization of Prima, see this comparison. The original Filmotype Prima was hardly in use anymore by the late 1990s, and had disappeared together with phototype composing devices. Filmotype’s official digitization under the original name wasn’t released before 2011. I have adjusted the font ID and the text mention.
Ah, I see.
