Timon and Pumba turn to Stone
Timon and Pumbaa provide some much needed humor to the story of The Lion King. After Simba runs away thinking he’s caused his father’s death (heavy!) They befriend the young cub and distract him with fun songs and humor. Without them, that movie would be downright scary.
This pair is so beloved that they appear in other Disney movies- if you look closely enough. Remember the Hunchback of Notre Dame? This movie is full of gargoyles a plenty- but did you notice these weird looking ones? That’s right. That’s our friends Timon and Pumbaa turned into stone. I guess they’re not such a hilarious wise-cracking duo in this film, but it’s sweet to see the reference to them nonetheless.
