They have their moments. There are certain lines that I find amusing either in English or Norwegian, in both TLK and SP. Such as when Simba returns after the ambush in SP, Timon grabs his tail and says: "Just relax, I`ll carry you." That always makes me smile. :)
But overall, I feel the writers were trying too hard to come up with funny stuff for Timon and Pumbaa, so they end up as coming across as too much in some scenes.

They add some humor to the storyline, without them, the movie wouldnt have been that good. Not bad, but it would not be the masterpiece it is today.

They are not my favorite characters, but I certainly have nothing against them.

I can't say I hate them nor can I say I love them.

On one hand, they were a major part of the plot. They had to exist, else the story wouldn't be the same. Their corny attitudes was also what made the movie appealing to kids.

However, I have to say that the movie would have taken on a more serious note without that corniness. During CYFTLT, I was laughing at Timon's remarks on Simba and Nala's love, instead of, as the song title suggests, trying to feel the love. They are a huge part of the plot and at the same time they sort of... prevented me from fully appreciating the story because of their distracting humour.

Thank goodness I watch movies alone at home - I don't think many people would want to have someone randomly laughing out loud during a romance scene.

And then there's the hula dance part which made the final fight seem less epic because they're such a funny bunch and lightened the mood a little too much.

T&P make TLK1 feel more like a whimsical comedy than a story about love and the Circle of Life as it was intended to be, but I'm willing to accept their existence as a story element. However, I understand that TLK1.5/3 was meant to focus on T&P, and thus pretty much the entire movie was comedy.


I'm going to have to sit on the fence for this one...

They have their moments, and without them, wouldn't Simba be dead?
