I think Pumbaa is better than Timon xD i think.

Pumbaa sure is He's like an average man: burping, farting and easily amused

and he helps xD

Help with what? TLK would be so better without them.

Well he made me laugh

Well, that doesn't mean he 'helps'.

So i liked them xD

well, I meant, if I compare T&P, I more like Pumbaa.
but in a children's movie, a farting and burping warthog is just disgusting.
I remember as a kid, that i was disgusted by his behaviour.
Both are no-use characters. Funny sidekicks, they are called. I think they're useless.
Rafiki was fun, Ed the hyena was hilarious, Nuka in SP was fun. Well, 3 funny characters should be enough, shouldn't it?

And Timon disrespects his best friend.

what? they're not useless. someone had to take care of Simba, he'd be dead without them. besides, Timon never really means it. in the end they're always best buds.

actually, among the younger fans Timon and Pumbaa are the crowd favorite. they're funny, belching, farting, cartoon characters that despite everything else still seem to teach the value of friendship.

and actually Pumbaa did help. he carried Simba to water, provided a distraction for the hyenas, totally kicked the hyenas' butts, kept an eye on Kiara (well he tried), and carried Simba back to Pride Rock.

yeah I know there were one of two characters needed in the movie to resque and help the young, nearly-starved Simba....but Timon is just so disrespectful to Pumbaa
