At Timon’s 

meerkat colony far away from Pride Rock, Timon takes jobs as a digger and a sentry, but
despite his mother Ma's encouragement, he cannot seem to find a good job for himself.

After his Uncle Max is nearly eaten by Shenzi, Banzai and Ed on his watch, Timon decides to leave
the meerkat colony and find a place that is right for him. He is encouraged byRafiki to seek Hakuna
Matata and to look beyond what he sees, and has the intuition to head for Pride Rock. Along the
way, Timon and Pumbaa meet and is terrified until they became friends. For the first time, Timon set
out by himself and Pumbaa to find a "dream home."

They arrive at Pride Rock, but to their dismay a herd of animals is already there to see the future
king of the Pride Lands. While Timon and Pumbaa are walking through the herd of animals
witnessing the presentation of the newborn Simba, Pumbaa accidentally farts, which causes a few
animals to pass out and collapse. The animals in front see this and believe that the fallen animals
are bowing, and soon they all bow together

Timon and Pumbaa continue their journey and find a new home at a watering hole that looks like a
miniature version of Pride Rock

Pumbaa tells Timon about a "dream home" in the jungle, but Timon ignores him. They travel to the
elephant graveyard and witness Mufasa and Zazu saving the cubs from the hyenas. That night,
going further into the graveyard, they watch an army of hyenas marching ", and the duo run away.
Later, they end up in the gorge only to encounter a wildebeest stampede.While trying to run from the
wildebeests, they fall down a waterfall, which leads to the "dream home" that Pumbaa had
described. Timon and Pumbaa later find Simba, and their live in the jungle throughout the years.

Simba grew up with Timon and Pumbaa. Now as an adult, Simba meet his childhood friend Nala.
Afraid of losing Simba and/or Hakuna Matata, Timon and Pumbaa try everything to stop Simba and
Nala from falling in love.
