Ah, but then why didn't Disney make Timon fat in The Lion King?

Maybe Nathan was more slender at that point in his life? Maybe Disney wasn't as flexible on design? Good question, but I thought 09 Ham Egg looked like Nathan, and then read he was the only character who reflected the voice actor's appearance. I also read that Nathan was going to change his voice for Ham Egg, but they really liked his natural voice for the part. Maybe that was why -- they shifted Ham Egg away from an Italian guy stereotype?
