In The Lion King II: Simba's Pride and The Lion King 1½, Zazu's voice was provided by Edward Hibbert, while Michael Gough provides Zazu's voice in the TV Series The Adventures of Timon and Pumbaa, as well as the Magic Kingdom attraction The Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management and Jim Piddock in The Lion King: Simba's Mighty Adventure and Timon & Pumbaa's Jungle Games .
