The big warthog and the thin meerkat, are they based on the humoristic duo Laurel and Hardy? What do you guys think of it?

I don’t know who they are.. But probably.

Hm... I think they are not.
Laurel and Hardy had an completly other way to make people laugh.
But the Thick and Thin thing might be close tho them, since everyone asociates such a pair whit fun!

Laurel and Hardy are funny ^^ they make me laugh but i think so o.o im not sure just look for the things that they do and say.

well, they did more slapstick humor. but it very well could be. perhaps that was what they were aiming for a little bit when they created them.

PK, they're these old comedians. they even made it into the Scooby Doo Where Are You? shows where they run into famous people.

Hmm yeah Like the three stooges too xD

OK, thanks.

I don't know if they are or not but I know they are supposed to parallel Hamlet's escorts Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

And then, isn't TLK 1.5 based on "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead"?

Yes I believe it said that with the DVD pamphlet of Lion King 1 1/2.
