==History==
Timon and Pumbaa are chasing off vultures when they stumble on an unconscious lion cub named Simba. Timon implores Pumbaa to run for his life, but Pumbaa expresses interest in adopting the cub. Timon only agrees because he thinks Simba can protect him once he is older.
The two revive Simba and lead him to the jungle, where they teach him to embrace a “Hakuna Matata” lifestyle. Timon introduces Simba to their other animal friends and tells him that he should eat grubs only.
Simba embraces Timon and Pumbaa’s lifestyle and grows up with them in the jungle.
One day, Simba tries to play with an animal friend of his, but the animal keeps away from him. Timon gently explains that most prey animals do not want to play with a predator. Simba questions Timon and Pumbaa about the Circle of Life, but they insist that life is a line in which everyone only looks out for themselves.
That night, Timon stargazes with his friends. He surmises that stars are simply fireflies that got stuck on the sky. Simba offers his father’s explanation about the Great Kings of the Past, only for Timon and Pumbaa to laugh at him. When Simba walks off, hurt, Timon accuses Pumbaa.
The next day, a young lioness attacks Pumbaa, and Timon tries desperately to rescue him. Simba intervenes, only to realize that the lioness is his childhood friend, Nala. The two of them have a joyous reunion, and Simba introduces her to Timon and Pumbaa. Afterwards, the two spend a romantic evening in the jungle together, which upsets Timon and Pumbaa.
Later, after Simba leaves to reclaim his kingship of the Pride Lands from his evil uncle Scar, Timon and Pumbaa journey to the kingdom themselves. They divert the hyenas to give Simba and Nala the opportunity to reach Scar and do battle against the hyenas.
After the battle, Timon watches Simba ascend Pride Rock. He later witnesses the presentation of Simba and Nala’s cub.
