So does anyone notice that Rafiki makes a mistake with him, when he first tells him to "Look beyond what you see", but at the same time, doesn't realize Timon actually takes things literally, like Ma says about him?
I don't find that this has anything to do with the semi-parody aspect of the film. But I find this pretty amusing because Rafiki is suppose to be the all-knowing "baboon" of at least the film franchise.
It's funny in itself to me though, because I wonder how he doesn't know or realize in the beginning that Timon is the kind of hero who's shown to actually be literal on this film of his.
