The adorably awkward duo, Timon and Pumbaa, are the best friends you wish you had when things get tough. They keep Simba feeling positive, and they teach him one of the most iconic songs in Disney history, "Hakuna Matata." This meerkat and warthog save Simba from the vultures when he's a young cub; later, they help Simba defeat Scar to become King of Pride Rock. Their friendship is so solid, Simba invites them to stand with him at a special ceremony, where he shows off his newborn lion cub to the animals. They are funny and loyal — the perfect combination.
