Simba, Timon, and Pumbaa's Adventures of Cats Don't Dance is another Lion King crossover film by Yakko Warner. It will appear on Google Drive in the near future.
Plot[]
In 1939, Danny, an optimistic cat from in Kokomo, Indiana, travels to Hollywood in hopes of starting an acting career there. After meeting a new friend Pudge, Danny is selected by agent Farley Wink to feature in a film that is in production at Mammoth Pictures called Li'l Ark Angel, alongside Wink's secretary: a white cat named Sawyer. Upon joining fellow animals; Tilly, Cranston, Frances, and T.W., Danny is dismayed on learning how minor his role is and tries to weasel his way into more time in the spotlight. Danny angers Darla Dimple, a popular yet spoiled child actress and star of the film, so she assigns her 36-foot tall butler Max to intimidate Danny into no longer trying to enlarge his part.
Danny learns from the studio's mascot Woolie the Mammoth, that human actors are normally given more important roles than animals. He longs for the spotlight and tries to make a plan that will encourage humans to provide animal actors with better scenarios, such as by assembling a massive cluster of animals and putting on a musical performance for the humans.
Later, Danny is given advice by Darla on how to interest and satisfy audiences. He takes this information to heart and groups the animals for an audition on the Ark in hopes of attracting the humans' attention. However, Darla, fearing that the animals will jeopardize her spotlight, has Max help her flood the stage with 100,000 gallons of water while L.B. Mammoth, the head of Mammoth Pictures, and Flanagan, the film's director, are giving an interview, getting the animals blamed and dismissed for the collateral damage. The animals are depressed at being barred from acting in Mammoth Pictures, especially Danny, who was convinced by Darla that she was trying to help the animals. Woolie advises Danny to return to Kokomo. Later that night, everyone is at a diner, upset with Danny for ruining everything for them, while Sawyer sings a song about Danny trying to keep their dreams alive. Tilly overhears Sawyer singing and suggests Sawyer to follow Danny. Sawyer arrives to the bus stop, just seconds after Danny left, finding his hat and to-do list behind.
However, after a comment from the bus driver and seeing Pudge wander the streets, Danny stops the bus and comes up with another plan. He secretly invites Sawyer and the others to the premiere of Lil' Ark Angel. After the screening and a battle with Max that sends him flying away on a Darla Dimple balloon, Danny calls the audience's attention. Upon bringing Sawyer, Woolie, Tilly, Cranston, Pudge, Frances and T.W. backstage to help Danny, the eight animals put on a musical performance that entertains and impresses the viewers. Meanwhile, Darla tries to sabotage the show by tampering with the set and special effects equipment, but her attempts instead cause her to enhance the performance.
Darla furiously yells at the animals for foiling her plan when her voice is amplified over the theater's sound system due to a boom mic she had been tangled up with, revealing the truth about the incident to the audience, including L.B. and Flanagan. Darla tries to hide her true colors by kissing and hugging Danny, but Pudge sends her down a trapdoor. The animals achieve their dreams for larger roles, Danny and Sawyer admit their feelings for each other, and Darla is demoted to a janitor.
Trivia[]

- Shenzi, Banzai, Ed, Sheldon J. Plankton, and Arthur and Cecil work for Darla Dimple in this film.
- Like LegoLand1085's film Pooh's Adventures of Cats Don't Dance, this is an NTSC film with NTSC bits from The Lion King films.
- Cats Don't Dance was first released in 1998, the same year that The Lion King II: Simba's Pride was released straight to video.
- This film actually takes place before Winnie the Pooh vs. Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster, which explains Simba, Nala, Timon, and Pumbaa already knowing Danny and Sawyer.
- Jonathan Oosterhof (aka LionKingRulezAgain1) was originally going to make this film as a present-day adventure (with the entire Jungle Adventure Crew joining Simba, Nala, Timon, and Pumbaa), but he retired from making anymore crossovers, so Yakko Warner will make the film as a past adventure instead and Genie ended up guest starring in Bloom's Adventures of Cats Don't Dance instead.
- This will be dedicated in the memory of Natalie Cole (the singing voice of Sawyer) who passed away on December 31, 2015.
