Trivia[]
- Sabella is the only actor of the original Lion King franchise to reprise his role for the Disney Junior spinoff The Lion Guard (though James Earl Jones did reprise Mufasa in the pilot movie The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar).
- Sabella was originally set to make a cameo in the 2005 adaption of The Producers alongside his Lion King co-stars Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane, but his scenes were cut in the final product. Fortunately, Sabella's scenes can still be found in the deleted scenes on the DVD.
- In Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure, Sabella did not reprise his role as Pumbaa, so he was replaced by Leslie Hedger.
