Whose sarafina??

Yes! And if they were to be taken out, it would mess up the whole plot of the movie. Who would rescue Simba? I think saying that Timon and Pumba should be taken out of TLK is worse than Muk and Luk being taken out of Balto. I mean really.

timon and pumbaa didn't ruin the movies. in fact without them simba wouldn't of survived/

I like Timon and Pumbaa in the movies just not TLK 1 1/2 it was pointless.

wth? is the lion king 3 ive seen it but this is the lion king here not timon and pumbaa film thats y they named it the lion king the lion king 3 or in america lion king 1 1/2 should be about after simbas riegn or watever not about imon and pumbaa

Balto Dreamer, I so completely agree with you. Remember, Balto and TLK are for all ages, so there needs to be some comic relief, otherwise, it wouldn't appeal to families so much.

Arrrggghhhhh, not trying to rant or anyhing, and this is my opinion, but, Timon and Pumbaa were not useless in the movie. If it weren't for them, "sweet" lil Simba coulda died. They carried him to shade and splashed water on him, let me me repeat lines from the movie:

"You nearly died."-Pumbaa

"And I saved ya 'Pumba grunts' "-Timon

Plus, they made Simba feel better. AND they helped Simba defeat Scar.

I love Timon, thats why I stick up fer the lil guy
I'm tired of peeps dislikin' them THEY HAVE A FLIPPIN PURPOSE!
And that dynamic duo are quite funny

The 3rd movie, I believe, was for diehard Timon and Pumbaa fans And for, well, comedy! And to show where Timon came from. I was quite interested myself from who his family was, maybe just because I am just a huge fan of Timon.

I don't think TLK3 should have been about Timon and Pumbaa. They were good in the first two, but it sort of took away from the previous two. Besides, this is The LION King, not The Meerkat and the Warthog. It should have stuck to the lion kingdom, what happens after Kiara and Kovu unite the Pridelanders and Outlanders, about any wanderer Outlanders that didn't want to leave, about Kopa returning and the pride being suspicious of him - those would have been good topics, but they had to make one about Timon and Pumbaa T_T. We had the TV series for that.

You have a point.


Once again,I think they probably made the movie for Timon and Pumbaa fans, since the last two movies were mostly about Simba and the pride.

Hey, I thought it was funny.

i find this offensive! i luf Timon and Pumbaa, they are the reason Simba is alive first of all, and second they are so awesomely awesome

I would of said the same thing, They just got in the way sometimes.

Sometimes like like to use the phrase "Camrawhore"

They were awesome in the movies and great comic relief...but that TV series that they did was kind of strange, just looking at them on a plane was surreal.
