Zazu isn’t the first of our tiny Disney friends to get the shoulder-plush treatment (we’ve previously seen Remy, Grogu, and Hei Hei versions, among others) – but he IS the very first we’ve seen of The Lion King‘s celebratory 30th-anniversary collection.

Zazu Magnetic Shoulder Plush
Our team spotted Zazu at the Emporium in Disney’s Magic Kingdom this weekend. Let’s check it out!
Zazu Shoulder Plush
Our favorite high-strung hornbill has arrived in adorable plush form, and we are HERE for it!
Priced at $24.99, Zazu comes in his trademark colors of blue, orange, and yellow. He’s touchably soft and as perfect for cuddling as he is for perching on your shoulder.

As Mufasa’s most trusted advisor, Zazu serves an important role in both the original animated version of The Lion King and the 2019 computer-animated remake, in which he was voiced by British writer and producer John Oliver.
