Watching the Lion King after all these years has made me realize something.

Timon and Pumba are horrible influences on Simba, and if Nala never found Simba, he would still be sitting around and his kingdom would still be suffering. Timon and Pumba destroy Simba’s lessons that Mufasa taught him and teach him the ways of isolationism. Any other animal and that would be fine but Simba is royal, and does not have the freedom to leave his kingdom. I guess they didn’t know, so you can’t really be mad at them, and they were saving him from dehydration. Gotta love them
