Later followed by repetitions Disney Cinemagic , Super RTL , Disney Channel , Kabel eins , ORF 1 , SRF 1 , SRF zwei , Toon Disney , Fox Kids later jetix , Disney XD .
Characters
Timon is a meerkat who used to be considered the little idiot of his large family. Due to a breach of duty while guarding his colony, he was cast out and met Pumbaa, who became his best friend. Timon, like Pumbaa, likes cockroaches , bugs , maggots and worms . He is clever, but also quite selfish. According to the episode "The Meerkat Exam", Timon's full name is Timon Berkowitz .
The warthog Pumbaa is Timon's best friend. Cockroaches are his favorite food. Sometimes he can't contain himself and suddenly farts . Morally he is a lot more stable than Timon and often acts as his conscience. Pumbaa usually doesn't look very smart, but has occasional flashes of inspiration and hints of intelligence.
Mr. Quint is a bad person who appears in the series in a variety of roles. Most of the time he is after Timon and Pumbaa, who point to him. Apparently there are several quints, but his role is always that of the antagonist or villain.
The bear is a nameless bear who is mostly in a bad mood and aggressive. Timon and Pumbaa have to watch out for him again and again, otherwise he will eat them up when they do something that upsets him. He never succeeds in this, however, because he usually calms down again at the last moment. The effort that Timon and Pumbaa put in not to upset him often appears in retrospect to be greater than anything he could ever do to them when he gets angry.
Speedy the snail is a snail that is friends with Timon and Pumbaa and is the only snail that they would never eat. It is based on Bing Crosby . She rarely appears on the show.
In addition, several characters known from the "Lion King" appear in the series with Simba, Rafiki, Zazu and the three hyenas.
