Pumbaa chases Timon and El Toro.

Timon then dresses as a matador to start fighting El Toro. Pumbaa intervenes and stops the fight, telling Timon and El Toro that all he wanted was to have a nice vacation in Spain, but they ruined it. The warthog then scolds El Toro for the way he’s been treating his tourists, which El Toro and Timon reply that it is a Running of the Bulls tradition, and they state that they enjoyed the chase.

Pumbaa then decides to chase Timon and El Toro all the way to the bulls’ cage. El Toro gives Pumbaa an advice of him having a nice rest at the beach. At the beach, Timon and El Toro are relaxing in sun chairs, chatting casually, while Pumbaa is going berserk.
