| Sora, Donald, and Goofy first encounter Timon and Pumbaa at the [[Oasis]] in the Pride Lands during their first visit. They are hunted by [[Nala]], who is ready to pounce on them. However, she is stopped by the timely arrival of Simba, who joyfully reconnects with his childhood friend, much to Timon's incredulity. Though initially frightened by Sora's [[Lion Form|lion form]], Timon and Pumbaa eventually form a bond with him, even teaching him the meaning of ''Hakuna Matata''. After Simba and Nala have an argument about going back to Pride Rock to take down Scar, the five of them enter the area chanting ''Hakuna Matata''.

| Later, Timon and Pumbaa help the entire group to try and take down [[Scar]]. However, their attempts ultimately fail and they are cornered by [[Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed]] in a cave, though they are soon rescued by Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Once Scar is defeated, Timon and Pumbaa witness Sora unlocking the world's [[Gate]], the former remarking on the resulting glow. <!--rewrite in-universe and focusing on meaning instead of script repaste

| At the end of the final cutscene, he is shown to be quite nervous due to Timon's comment: "''What if [[Simba|he]] forgets to tell the predators who we are''?" with Pumbaa shortly responding apprehensively, "''I'M NOT GOING TO BE SOMEONE'S PORK DINNNNEEERR!''" finishing in a panic and running off in a dash.

|
| Pumbaa is scarcely seen in the second visit, and mostly only plays a role of hinting where you should go next. However, in the end, Pumbaa adds onto Timon's "''Live for today''" words by saying: "''And put your past behind you!''", moving in a carefree, joyous trot.-->

|
| During Sora's second visit, Timon is first seen encouraging Simba, who still has some self-doubts about becoming the new king. Later, at the Oasis, Timon notifies Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Simba of the numerous [[ghosts of Scar]] that are haunting the Pride Lands. Pumbaa protects Nala from Scar's ghost up on Pride Rock, despite being frightened by the apparition. After the defeat of the [[Groundshaker]], he is present for Sora's second departure from the world.

| ==Design== | | ==Pride Lands== |
| Timon is a small {{w|meerkat}} with light tan fur over most of his body, save for the front, which has white fur. The tips of his toes, his fingers, half of his tail, and his large nose are all brown. The ridges of his ears and his "eyebrows" are dark red and his eyes are brown. He also has light brown rings around his eyes. Timon's ears point downward and he has an unexplained, short, spiky head of orange "hair" on the top of his head. His back sports several horizontal, grey stripes. Timon's forearms are unnaturally thin, particularly when compared to the size of his hands. The fur on his chest and elbows is ruffled. | | ===First Visit=== |
| | On the first visit, Timon is not seen until Simba is seen in the oasis. At this point, Timon looks a little emotional to a degree, noting to Pumbaa: "Look at 'him Pumbaa, look at how he's grown. Why, when I rescued the little guy, he was only this big" and then lowers his hand to level with his knee. |
|
| |
|
| Pumbaa is a {{w|common warthog}} with light tan fur and dark red cloven hooves. His belly is grey and his eyes are brown. True to his species, Pumbaa sports two large, ivory tusks jutting out of either side of his mouth. The tips of these tusks curve upwards sharply. Pumbaa has a large, flat snout which is pink at the front. His ears are set just behind each of his eyes. He has a very large mouth and a pink tongue. Finally, Pumbaa sports a tuft of shaggy brown hair on the tip of his tail and on the top of his head, the latter creating a mohawk-like mane.
| | He is eventually met by Sora and the gang and teach them about Hakuna Matata, which means ''no worries''. As he leads a conga line of sorts with him at the lead and Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Pumbaa in the back, he chants "Hakuna", while the others respond "Matata". |
| | However, this carefree antic is put to a stop by Simba's fight with Nala about going back to the Pride Land. |
|
| |
|
| ==Personality==
| | Later, Timon helps the entire group to try and take down Scar, alongside Pumbaa. However, their attempts ultimately fail and they are cornered by [[Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed]] in a cave, which means it is Sora's responsibility to rescue them. |
| Timon is the erratic and wise-cracking. Although short in stature, his personality is not. Timon is very self-absorbed, often claiming the genius ideas of Pumbaa as his own. Like Pumbaa, Timon has embraced the carefree motto of "Hakuna Matata," using it not only as a way of life, but also to cheer others up. Oftentimes, when the meerkat is in danger, he will cower behind Pumbaa as means of protection. However, Timon will gather up his courage to help a friend in need. | |
|
| |
|
| Pumbaa has a lax and carefree life, much due to the philosophy of ''Hakuna Matata'', that he can be perceived as ignorant or passive. This is not the case, however, as most of his ideas are quite genius and/or helpful. As for passivity, Pumbaa will only excuse actions until they affect his friends. When that happens, he will charge to protect and help them. This is seen during the end of the first visit, when Pumbaa bravely fights, and pummels the hyenas in a fit of rage. Pumbaa disapproves of anyone call him a "pig", and becomes enraged whenever someone does.
| | At the end of the First Visit, Timon is present and even delivers the line, after the gateway to the next world has been opened, "Hey! What's with the light show?", which shows other people can see the glow that is seen whenever Sora unlocks another gateway. |
|
| |
|
| ==Origin== | | ===Second Visit=== |
| Timon and Pumbaa originate from the 1994 film ''{{w|The Lion King}}'', respectively voiced by {{w|Nathan Lane}} and {{w|Ernie Sabella}}. After running away from the Pride Lands, a young, unconscious Simba collapses from heat exhaustion in the desert, where he was discovered by Timon and Pumbaa. Although Timon initially refuse Pumbaa's suggestion to take the young cub under their wing in fear that Simba might eat them, he agrees upon Pumbaa's suggestion of an alliance between the three. After Simba awakened and introductions were made, Timon and Pumbaa spent the next few years teaching Simba their lifestyle in the jungle and their "Hakuna Matata" philosophy. When Simba's childhood friend, Nala, reunites with Simba, Timon and Pumbaa learn that Simba is the rightful heir to the Pride Lands, which was being ruled by Simba's villainous uncle, Scar.

|
| Later, Timon and Pumbaa spy on Simba and Nala's romantic evening, depressed that they will lose their friend to her. The next morning, Nala, Timon and Pumbaa were informed by Rafiki, a mandrill friend of Simba and his father Mufasa, that Simba has returned to the Pride Lands to challenge Scar's for the throne. Joining Nala, Timon and Pumbaa follow her to the Pride Lands and was then forced to do a hula dance to distract Scar's hyena followers in order to let Simba and Nala to sneak into the Pride Lands unnoticed. After being chased by Banzai, one of Scar's hyenas, Timon hurries into Scar's cave and ends up being locked in Zazu's cage. Fortunately, Pumbaa rescues him, freeing Zazu and Timon. After Scar's defeat, Timon and Pumbaa decide to stay and live at Pride Rock with Simba and Nala.
| | During the second visit, Timon is seen only scarcely, but ultimately helps Simba by telling him to "Live for today". He also gives some good advice before facing [[Groundshaker]]. |
