Timon Dances onto Your Tree
In honor of The Lion King’s 30th anniversary in 2024, Hallmark released a couple of ornaments. While I didn’t get the regular line ornament, I did wind up getting the limited-edition ornament, Timon’s Dancing Diversion, after Christmas.
This ornament captures the moment that Timon distracts the hyenas so Simba and Nala can sneak in and rally the lionesses. Yes, Pumba was part of the distraction as well, but this ornament focuses on Timon.
And it’s such a funny moment. Timon is dressed up in a grass skit and a lei. He's even got a flower in his hair. Where he got them in the desert the pride lands have turned into I have no idea. But let’s not let logic get in the way of the laugh. His arms are out, and he’s ready to start dancing and singing to get everyone’s attention.
No, this is not one of Hallmarks magic ornaments. There’s no sound or light or anything like that. It’s the only thing that would make this ornament better for me.
It’s a very specific moment and any fan of the movie will recognize it immediately. And they will love this ornament. I’m a little surprised my store still had it after Christmas, in fact. I was very tempted to get it earlier, but I keep telling myself I’m cutting back on ornaments. That’s the only reason I didn’t pick it up before Christmas.
Timon is standing on a circle of ground, so you can use this ornament as year-round decoration if you so desire.
When you go to hang him on your tree, you’ll find that he hangs straight.
Yes, I’m glad I added Timon’s Dancing Diversion to my collection. If you are a fan of the movie and didn’t snag this ornament, you’ll be glad you gave it a second chance.
