Official synopsis[]

Plot summary[]
One morning, Timon woke up not feeling well and sneezed loudly. Realizing that his friend was sick, Pumbaa expressed disappointment, as the Jungle Games were just three days away, and he had been hoping that they could win the trophy together. He then blamed Timon for not taking care of himself and getting himself sick.
Timon sneezed again, this time directly onto Pumbaa, who recoiled in disgust. Pumbaa explained how germs spread, emphasizing that when one sneezed or coughed, they should cover their mouth and nose to avoid infecting others. He advised aiming for one's elbow or shirt instead of one's hands, as touching things with germ-covered hands could contaminate them. He then encouraged Timon to wash his hands in order to prevent germs from spreading further, and the pair broke into song about the proper way to wash hands.
Pumbaa advised Timon to eat healthy food and stay active, with at least an hour of physical activity a day. To prove he enjoyed exercise, Timon demonstrated various activities, like swimming, running, dancing, playing football, and climbing on a "monkey posse." Afterwards, he claimed that he was feeling better already and asked for more tips on staying healthy.
Pumbaa explained that sleep was essential to keeping the body strong and fighting off germs. He added that sleeping well also made one smarter. Timon laughed and joked that Pumbaa clearly had not been getting enough sleep. Upon realizing that he had upset his friend, Timon complimented Pumbaa's physical traits, including his teeth. Pumbaa beamed and used the opportunity to explain that dental hygiene was also important for staying healthy. Pumbaa showed off his breath to Timon, who dramatically fainted from the smell.
The duo finished by singing a song that summarized everything they had learned about staying healthy ("Healthy and Fit"). Afterwards, Timon felt much better and asserted that he was ready to tackle the Jungle Games.
