Timon the meerkat and Pumbaa the warthog retell the story of The Lion King, from their own unique perspective.
Timon and Pumbaa start to watch the original Lion King movie, but Timon keeps insisting to fast forward to when they come in, because they werent seen in the beginning of the story or anywhere until halfway through. Pumbaa suggests telling the audience their story, which begins before Simbas journey begins. Through this, we meet Timons mother and Uncle Max, discover why he left his meerkat colony, where he learned Hakuna Matata, how he meets Pumbaa, and the perils they encountered while searching for their dream home.
