Show Summary

Edit Summary »

This cartoon series is based on the popular Lion King movie. The sidekicks of the movie, a meerkat named Timon and a warthog named Pumbaa are the main characters of the series. Although the movie's main character, Simba makes some appearances.

Main Characters



TIMON is the... more »





TIMON is the fast-talking meerkat, the supposed "brain of the outfit", though often it seems that Pumbaa's general knowledge actually overshadows his. Timon is still the one to come up with the wittiest and craziest ideas to get them out of (or into) trouble.



PUMBAA is the smelly, yet kind warthog who's always ready to help his friends. While Timon is often ready to break the rules to get what he wants, Pumbaa is usually honest and innocent in his intentions.



QUINT is the main villain. He has appeared under dozens of aliases such as Congo Quint, Criminal Quint and Corteous Quint.



SPEEDY THE SNAIL is a, well, snail. At first Timon and Pumbaa wanted to eat him, but when he started talking and singing, they just couldn't do it. Speedy gets into a lot of trouble for a snail, either he's about to be cooked alive by a French chef or somebody wants to make an earring out of him, and Timon and Pumbaa always have to rescue him.



Recurring Characters



Princess Tatiana only appeared in one episode, but she is a vital part of Timon's past, since he almost married her.



The Natives seem to pop up in tropical places every now and then. In fact they are not really natives, just a bunch of college kids who like to spend their free time dressing up as natives.

The Vulture Police are two "jungle police" vultures that always finish each others' sentences and talk very fast.



Toucan Dan might seem nice, but he is a big liar and he can make you believe anything he says. He's prosecuted by the Vulture Police, and usually gets someone blamed for his misdeeds.



Boss Beaver has the total opposite motto of Timon and Pumbaa, "Makuta Hamaka", which according to him means "work hard".



Rabbit is a magical pink hare that Timon once pulled out of a hat. He appears in a few episodes and he always means trouble for the duo.



Irwin the Penguin is a very unlucky penguin with a very annoying voice who causes problems for everyone around him, especially Timon, which is why Timon can't stand him.



The Hyenas are the three dumb hyenas that we already met in the movie. Banzai, Shenzi and Ed, appear on the show sometimes even in their own segment.



Simba from The Lion King makes an appearance a couple of times.



Rafiki is another familiar character from the movie. He appears in his own episodes sometimes, and sometimes gives Timon and Pumbaa advice.



Fred is Timon's old friend from his meerkat colony. He loves to pull practical jokes on people.

  • Timon and Pumbaa Trivia Game

    Basically everthing the topic says. I ask a question, someone gives the answer. Any questions (besides the ones I'm about to ask)? Good. Ok then, first off: What is Timon's last name?

  • Abount the un-aired eps

    They've all aired in the UK, so why does America get left out with some of the most memerable episodes?

    Did these guys HAVE to get their own show? hide « show »

    These two characters were cute and funny in the Lion King,but in this show,I think they're just... weird. What's Disney gonna do next,make ROBIN HOOD a tv show?! Geez, they're only two minor characters in a lion-based movie! Why do they need their own TV show?! I'm sorry. I'm just sick of good,Disney classics being made into crappy, rip-off TV shows! And I don't have much else to say about this show other than that I hate it and wish it would go away. Ah what the heck?! I still have some word count left,so I'll end it with these words.

    Hakuna matata! hide « show »

    Ah yes Timon and Pumbaa! A real feel good show. Just the opening theme song is just the thing to get you going in a real giddy mood. A lot of the episodes are funny and zany, hard to resist. I even know the song by heart! One of my favorite episodes was the one with Pumbaa jr. I'm glad Simba makes an appearance (as an adult). Heck I even like the fact that they include Rafiki and the Hyenas though Zazu has an appearance. All in all I definety recommend this cartoon to anyone of any age. Hakuna Matata!

    Hakuna Matana for greatness. hide « show »

    This was/is a great show. I am dead serious. Timon & Pumbaa appeared in the popular animated Disney classic of 1994, The Lion King. And then, they have their own show. And then, it's called, Timon & Pumbaa.

    It's good, because if I hated the Lion King, what would I be? The Lion King is cool. I also like the sequel, but I like Lion King 1 1/2 better. Some people think that this is the worst show. Well, almost. But, I think they're wrong. This show kicked ass. Only in the ass! IN THE ASS!

    So, this show is popular. I noticed, Hakuna Matana, Timon & Pumbaa.

    Remembering this show brings me back to the good times! hide « show »

    (Along with "The Little Mermaid" spin-off) I loved watching this show! My sister loves it as well. Watching just makes me remember the good times, when (almost) everything was twice as exiting. My young brother wtaches Timon and Pumba, (when we are allowed to stay up late, of course. Why can't disney make a "classic" disney channel?) I loved the "The Lion King" and I loved this show. It was very amusing, and still is. I know most people would think it would be "un-cool" to watch a young kids show like this. But those guys don't appreciate the classics. I loved this show, and I still do now. Especially if you loved it as a kid, I asure you, you'll still love it!

    This show was awesome! hide « show »

    Oh boy, I remember when I was a kid and I used to watch this show with my brothers! It was so funny and it still is!

    I remember the wacky adventures Timon & Pumba had every time. Just a couple of months ago I was watching the episode where they were falling of the side of a cliff and pulling out random stuff to try to keep the alive!

    My youngest brother who is 6 can now watch this show thanks to reruns, and he enjoys every minute of it. I still watch it every once in a while with him!

    Thank you for reading this ¢¾
