It was Disney's second attempt at doing their own Ren & Stimpy after Shnookums & Meat. It never dawned on them that they were far too clean-cut to pull off that kind of show.
Jaxson Hill
I mean, timon and pumbaa was pretty entertaining.
Ethan Watson
Jesus are these what humans would have looked like in the Lion King universe?
Sure am glad they never had them in the movie.
William Adams
It was pretty in line with Disney Channels tv art direction at that time
Ethan Brown
The art direction in general is inconsistent. Some of the humans and animals are drawn in a Disney-esque style while others are drawn in a more grotesque and cartoony style.
Adam Baker
Because Ren & Stimpy / Spumco lives in your head rent free.
Leo Miller
Really depends on the ep
Daniel Jones
Liam Moore
This, I didn't watch it when it originally aired, but it was surprisingly not bad for a spin-off for two side characters that kept their charm in their own material.
Dylan James
Other than the massive overbite/gums this is mostly Tigger with eyeballs instead of dot-eyes
Chase Hughes
Shonokums and Meat was the show that was canceled to make way for Timon and Pumbaa. T&P just picked up where S&M left off.
Henry Parker
He looks like he could be from Animaniacs too.
Eli Wood
Did one of the animators of this scene have a thing for Cruella?
Dylan Foster
The fact that Timon and Pumbaa literally went to places outside of Africa is really fucking bizarre thinking about it.
Ryder Smith
Animators on the Timon and Pumbaa cartoon also worked on Ren and Stimpy episodes that were outsourced to Australia.
Blake James
It should not be forgotten that they did the same in the Bonkers series.
Jaxon Evans
Jesus Christ, what the fuck is that thing?

Just your average user on Any Forums.

Don't forget that Timon and Pumbaa had a recurring nemesis in the form of the gigachad Quint. He keeps appearing in the series in increasingly ludicrous roles/professions. Here he appears as a "clock inspector".

The lack of lion king shit as a kid annoyed me. Most eps had nothing to do with the setting and was like them in aspen Colorado or some shit
The hyena shorts were good at least
