Timon is a wise-cracking and self-absorbed meerkat who is known for claiming Pumbaa’s ideas as his own, while Pumbaa has flatulence issues. However, Pumbaa is also a fierce warrior, charging into battle like a battering ram, and taking great offense if anyone who’s not his friend calls him a pig, at which point he exclaims “They call me Mister pig!”—a reference to Sidney Poitier’s line “They call me Mister Tibbs!” from the 1967 film In the Heat of the Night. Unlike real meerkats, Timon can walk on his hind legs, while in real life, meerkats walk on all four legs and can only stand on their hind ones.
Based on the characters Rosencrantz and Guildenstern from Hamlet, Timon and Pumbaa are played by Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella. Timon was animated and created by Michael Surrey. They made their first appearances in the 1994 film when they shooed away the vultures that swarmed around young Simba, who had collapsed from heat exhaustion. Timon and Pumbaa then took the collapsed lion cub back to a small pool, where they splashed water on him to wake him up. After Simba is awakened by the two, they introduce themselves and welcome Simba to stay with them and follow their “Hakuna Matata” philosophy. At first, Simba is confused about Timon and Pumbaa’s lifestyle, but it is explained to him in the song “Hakuna Matata.”
Many years later, while out on a musical walk with Timon, Pumbaa is distracted by a bug, that he follows into the jungle. The bug leads him right to a hungry lioness prowling around and tries to hunt down Pumbaa. She chases the warthog until Simba springs into action, and the two lions engage in conflict. When the lioness pins Simba, he recognizes her as Nala, his childhood playmate. They are happy to be together, but Timon is jealous after they leave for a night of romance. He and Pumbaa start singing the song “Can You Feel The Love Tonight?” and are joined by Simba and Nala on their night out. Still, the two help Simba defeat Scar and gain his rightful place as the king of the Pride Lands, most notably when they create a musical distraction to lure away Scar’s hyenas. Pumbaa single-handedly drives off Shenzi, Banzai and Ed. They also stand on top of Pride Rock along with Simba and Nala when Rafiki presents Simba and Nala’s newborn cub to the animals of the Pride Lands.
