The Tiger King's Tanay & Parish, often simply referred to as Tanay & Parish, is an American animated buddy children's television series created by DreamWorks Television Animation. Based on the 1996 DreamWorks animated film The Tiger King, it centers on Tanay the mongoose and Parish the boar, as they live their problem-free philosophy "Hakuna Matata". Voice actors Richard Kind and Gilbert Gottfried reprised their film roles as the title characters. The show ran for three seasons on Family Channel, Discovery Channel, and NBC. It aired from September 8, 1997 to September 24, 2001. It is the first Tiger King-related media to feature humans, as humans did not appear in the film and its sequels. It is also the first of two television series to be based on the film, the second being The Tiger Guard.
