Editing Talk:Timon and Pumbaa

This article has been mostly repaired and expanded, however, some things are in need of improvement. Such as the names of both English and Japanese Dub voice actors, and perhaps quotes and more trivia.

== Voice Actor ==

Ok not to seem rude but I'm sick & tired of this, James Arnold Taylor voiced Timon in KH2 NOT Bruce lanoil, even Mr. Taylor's website states this along with every nearly other site since the game was released in 2006. Note that Bruce Lanoil is only credited as "addtionil voices" while James Arnold Taylor is under the "Disney Character voices" section. :)

{{Uxie|time=13:03, 8 June 2011 (EDT)|luna=Another case of false infomation from Wikipedia. Man, those guys have a lot of work to do...}}

{{NinjaSheik|text=There's a minor edit war going about the voice actor again. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnooH1OzCOc I've been watching the credits for ''Kingdom Hearts II''], and it lists James Arnold Taylor and Bruce Lanoil under "Disney Character Voices" section. So, both of them are listed, and I can't trust Wikipedia, so suggestions on what to do? Should we try and e-mail the voice actors?}}

Who else could Lanoil has voiced?  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 03:14, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
:If his official site lists it, then just source that here and on the VA archive.{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 03:47, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Results from a google search are split between Timon and "Additional Voices". Also, it appears most of the sources that say he was KH2 Timon are fan wikis. His [http://www.linkedin.com/pub/bruce-lanoil/8/991/767 LinkedIn page] is confusing, so it
could go either way.  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 04:16, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

{{Uxie|time=07:31, 4 September 2012 (UTC)|text=Is it even possible to send Taylor and Lanoil e-mails, considering that they would both get thousands each year from their fans, but are often ignored. We can try, though chances are, ours would be rejected as a fan letter.}}

{{NinjaSheik|text=We could, but a lot of voice actors do normally ignore our e-mails or just don't have the time to look at them. [http://www.jamesarnoldtaylor.com/jamesarnoldtaylor.com/Resume.html I found Mr. James Arnold Taylor's site, which really didn't help much]. Under ''Kingdom Hearts II'', he puts he voices "Jack Sparrow, Various". Does Bruce Lanoil have a site so we can find his e-mail?}}

{{Uxie|time=16:51, 4 September 2012 (UTC)|zoe=So that means Timon's true voice actor is currently unknown, right?}}

{{NinjaSheik|text=Pretty much, yeah. However, it could be possible they are both Timon's voice actors. One of them could've been filling in for the other during the recording sessions.}}

{{Uxie|time=16:56, 4 September 2012 (UTC)|angela=It could be possible.

Also, we cannot get in contact with James Arnold Taylor, guys. His contact page says this: "Due to the overwhelming amount of mail and autograph requests James receives, he is currently unable to accept any more at this time." Guess he has a lot  of fans, huh?}}

{{NinjaSheik|text=How about Bruce Lonoil? Anyone tried his LinkedIn page?}}

{{Uxie|time=17:02, 4 September 2012 (UTC)|zoe=His LinkedIn page says he voices Timon <s>in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.</s> Stratch that, I didn't read it propperly. It says he's the voice of Timon, and it says ''Kingdom Hearts II'' next to it, but it's unknown if it means he voiced Timon in KHII}}

{{NinjaSheik|text=Well, I don't think it can mean anything else. I do have a friend that has a an account on LinkedIn. She tried to get me to get an account there, too, but since we both have Yahoos, I didn't see the point. I could ask her to contact him for us.}}

{{Uxie|time=18:33, 4 September 2012 (UTC)|luna=It's up to you. Hopefully, he'll reply.}}

{{NinjaSheik|text=I e-mailed my friend and ask her if she can e-mail Mr. Bruce Lonoil. I'll get a reply from sooner or later, and then we'll what happens.}}

IMDB lists it as as James Arnold Taylor, so thats what we should go by. However, Ninjasheik is probably right, so we could include both and leave it at that. [[User:ParadiseFusion15|ParadiseFusion15]] ([[User talk:ParadiseFusion15|talk]]) 19:35, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

-{{NinjaSheik|text=We don't use IMDB here, ParadiseFusion15. It's kinda unreliable.}}
-OK. [[User:ParadiseFusion15|ParadiseFusion15]] ([[User talk:ParadiseFusion15|talk]]) 19:52, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
-{{NinjaSheik|text=I got a reply from my friend. She would do, but, apparently, she has to upgrade her account to contact him and she doesn't the money to do that. Sorry, guys. We're going have to find another way to contact Bruce Lonoil.
-EDIT: [http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/characters/Lion-King/Timon/ Behind the Voice Actors comments for Timon came through], [http://i.imgur.com/vwX8Pk6.jpg and showed a fan asking on Mr. Taylor's Facebook about whether he voiced Timon or not]. Also, looking back at IMDB, it also lists Mr. Lonoil as Timon. Putting this down for future reference in case another edit war breaking out.}}
-==Merge==
-Since we have recently began talking about merging pages on the wiki, it got me thinking: Does anyone think Timon's and Pumbaa's pages should be merged, too? They're a thick-as-thieves duo, after all, and are practically never seen apart.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 22:37, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
-:Bump.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 22:18, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
-::All right, no one has responded, and I have waited a considerable amount of time. No objections, right? I'd like to merge Timon and Pumbaa's pages soon.--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 19:42, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
-:::I agree with merging the pages. {{User:TheSilentHero/Sig}} 20:41, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
