Only A Major Lion King Fan Can Pass This Timon And Pumbaa Quiz!

We love brining you quizzes based on your favorite Disney movies, and you have probably taken our quiz on The Lion King already. So, we decided to keep things Disney while still having some fun, and we decided to focus on two of the most popular characters from this beloved film. Timon and Pumbaa may not be the stars of the film, but it just wouldn't have been the same without them. After all, they are the ones that brought Simba into their group and raised the young cub. Thanks to them, Simba turned out to be an amazing leader, and his return home saw him assume his birthright.

Both Timon and Pumbaa exhibit unique personalities that are distinct from one another, and this odd couple has been able to put their differences aside and make an incredible life for one another. They are popular enough to have had their own side of the events of The Lion King turned into a film that was genuinely hilarious. They have also been part of a number of memorable Disney projects, making them characters that people won't soon forget.

Do you have what it takes to pass this Timon & Pumbaa quiz today? Only a true fan can ace the entire thing!

Question 1

Can You Name This Character?

In order to properly get things started on this quiz today, we are going to need you to correctly identify which character is which. It can be so easy to always lump these characters together as they are rarely seen apart, so it is important that you are able to see them as individuals. It is incredible to think that both of these characters have become so popular with fans of Disney, and they are easily some of the most well known characters in the history of the company.

Question 2

Can You Name This Character?

Now that you have already correctly identified one of these young characters, this second question should be a complete slam-dunk for you. These two characters completely contrast each other in terms of style and personality, and that is partly what makes them so great together. It has long been speculated that opposites attract, and while they do have enough similarities that help them live together, they are different enough to have their own unique identities that shine in the film.

Question 3

Who Is Their Best Friend?

These two characters have always been able to rely on each other while surviving out in the wilderness, but they eventually brought a third member into the fold and spent what felt like a lifetime together having fun and living a carefree existence. As if seeing these to particular animals living together wasn't interesting enough, their best friend was even more different than they were, and yet, these two were willing to put aside all differences and welcome him into their life out of the goodness of their heart.

Question 4

Which Character Said: "What's going on here?!!"

This line may be super simple and lack any deeper, significant meaning like other lines in the film, but the way that it was used in the film made it stand out. It came on the heels of a scene that saw one character nearly eaten by another, and it made for a great piece of comedic relief as we learn the true identity of the predator. Even if it's been a while, we're sure that can you can still remember this.

Question 5

Who Tried To Eat Pumbaa?

Pumbaa is one of the most lovable characters that has ever been dreamed up by Disney, but at the end of the day, an animal needs to eat, and there is a certain pecking order in the food chain that needs to be adhered to. This means that Pumbaa looked like nothing more than a tasty treat for one specific character who was out trying to find some food. He was able to make it out of the situation relatively unscathed, but you had better believe that he was running for dear life when she was on the hunt.

Question 6

What Type Of Animal Is Timon?

It may have been easy enough to correctly identify which character was which between Timon and Pumbaa, but now we're going to start getting to the nitty-gritty of these characters. Timon is a very popular Disney character that has appeared on plenty of Disney merchandise, but there is a surprising amount of people out there who can't correctly identify which type of animal he is. If you are able to guess this question correctly, then you are going to be well on your way to acing this quiz.

Question 7

What Type Of Animal Is Pumbaa?

Not unlike the previous question regarding what type of animal Timon is, we are going to turn our attention back to Pumbaa and have you correctly identify the animal that he is. Pumbaa does announce what he is in one of the most popular songs to have ever appeared in a Disney movie, but many people may have overlooked this while they were waiting for the punch line of a joke to roll around. Nevertheless, listening to this song once again is a pretty good excuse to turn on The Lion King and enjoy it.

Question 8

Where Are Timon And Pumbaa From?

Everybody has to come from somewhere, and there is one particular area where Timon and Pumbaa are both from. They like to spend their days trying to avoid predators while simultaneously living life to the fullest. Many of us would love to live such a carefree life, but we also don't have to worry about larger animals coming around and making life a little more difficult than it should be. It's a good thing these two made friends with some powerful characters who are able to protect them!

Question 9

Which Character Said: "Can we keep him?"

This was one of the most genuine lines in the entire film, and even though the duo knew that Simba was going to grow up and usurp them on the food chain, one of them was still willing to bring the abandoned cub into their group and raise him as his own. Simba had gone through a lot in his young life, and the kindness of these strangers is a huge reason why he grew up to be an incredible leader.

Question 10

Which One Is "The Brains Of The Outfit”?

There must be a leader and a follower in every duo, and only one of these animals here can claim to be the “brains of the outfit”. This title is one that he may have given himself, but it just goes to show you that confidence can go a long way and getting people to believe in you. People may argue that it is in fact the other character who should be the brains, but that is just the way things go when you are making a life for yourself in the jungle.

Question 11

What Famous Disney Song Does This Duo Sing?

We know that you could answer this question without even thinking about it, but what kind of quiz would this be if we didn't talk about this song? Not only is it one of the most recognizable songs from the 1990s, but it is easily considered one of the best songs to ever appear in a Disney movie, which is saying a lot giving the company's history of turning out amazing music. These two busted out the song to teach Simba a thing or two about taking things a little bit easier in life and leaving things in the past.

Question 12

What Does The Name 'Timon' Mean?

One of the best parts of researching Disney characters is that you're going to learn a lot more about that than you had initially bargained for, and we were pretty shocked what we found out what the name Timon actually means. It's just a pretty good example of Disney doing an incredible amount of research for a secondary character. This type of attention to detail that the company has been renowned for is a huge reason why they continue to make incredible films after all these years.

Question 13

Which Character Said: "You gotta put your behind in the past"

This was meant to show young Simba how to change his life and do things their way, but the delivery of this line left him far more confused than he already was. Both Timon and Pumbaa made plenty of mistakes during their time together, but this is easily one of the funniest ones. Kids never fail to laugh whenever this line is said in the film, and it stood out from the rest of the lines in one of the most quotable Disney flicks ever.

Question 14

What Does The Name 'Pumbaa' Mean?

There is no way we can only have you identify with the name Timon means without turning the tables and have you do the same for his best friend. Pumbaa is a far more interesting character that people actually give him credit for, so it should come as no surprise that his name has an interesting meaning as well. Both of these characters have names that any person would be honored to have, and they helped set precedence for other secondary characters to follow.

Question 15

What Do Timon And Pumbaa Love To Eat?

Both Timon and Pumbaa have found a unique way to live their life, though they have had to make a few sacrifices along the way. When they first bring Simba into the fold, they were tasked with teaching him about their unique way of life, and this also meant showing him what they love to dine on more than anything else. Simba may have been a little put off when they first showed him their cuisine, but he ended up enjoying it a lot more than he thought he actually would, and the duo soon became a trio.

Question 16

Which One Was Used As Bait For The Hyenas?

Sacrifices need to be made in order for someone to achieve their goal, though you have got to feel bad for the character that was used as bait for the hyenas. If you are willing to do something this bold, then you must have the utmost faith in your friends that you are going to come away from the situation unharmed. Everything was able to work out in the end, but things did get a little hairy for our friend when he was ripe for the taking.

Question 17

Which One Takes On Scar?

Scar is one of the most notorious and famous villains to have ever come out of a Disney movie, and the things that he did during the events of The Lion King made him a truly despicable character who also seemed capable of executing his plan and maintaining control over the creatures of the area. They were few people who were actually brave enough to stand up to Scar and challenge his authority on things, and things ultimately came to a head during the end of the film.

Question 18

Which Character Dressed Up Like A Hula Dancer?

This was easily one of the funniest parts of the entire movie, which says a lot given the fact that The Lion King has some of the funniest parts to have ever been featured in a Disney film. No one was expecting one of these characters to dress up like a hula dancer at any point during the movie, and when kids saw this scene for the very first time, they could hardly contain their laughter. It was a perfect execution of both animation and voice acting that made for great movie watching.

Question 19

How Did Timon And Pumbaa Meet Simba?

Many people can remember some of the finer parts of The Lion King, but there may be some out there who actually have forgotten how it was that Simba came into the lives of Timon and Pumbaa. This was easily one of the sadder moments in the entire film at first, but it ended up being something that completely changed the lives of all three characters. Who would have thought that 3 personalities and animals like these would end up having such an incredible relationship?

Question 20

What Do The Hyenas Call Pumbaa?

It's never nice to say something insulting to another person, though it isn't always easy to tell what a person will find insulting. The hyenas that were responsible for carrying out Scar’s bidding had to learn the hard way about insulting people when they said the wrong thing to Pumbaa. This only served to make him angry, and he would go on a mini rampage and completely clear the area of hyenas after kicking his testosterone into overdrive. Even Timon knew that the hyenas had made a huge mistake.

Question 21

How Did Pumbaa Get Lost?

If we're being completely honest, it can be so easy to get distracted while doing things, and these distractions can lead us down a road that we weren't prepared to be on in the first place. Prior to Pumbaa getting hunted down by one of the most prominent characters in the entire film, he had gotten lost thanks to something catching his eye. If he didn't have the help of his two best friends, the situation could have gotten really bad for him in a very short amount of time, so he should definitely count his blessings.

Question 22

What Does 'Hakuna Matata' Mean?

Hakuna Matata is one of the most popular phrases to have ever come out of a Disney film, and they let the viewers at home know the meaning of this particular phrase several times throughout the film. This particular phrase is one that many of us should start to live our lives by considering the amount of stress that we can go through in our daily lives, and it is something that Timon and Pumbaa had to teach Simba all about when he was still a cub.

Question 23

What Color Did Timon Say Simba Was?

This was admittedly one of the funniest lines in the entire movie. The way that other people perceive our outward appearance is something that we don't truly know of until they speak it out loud, and the people in his life quickly learned how Timon saw Simba when he tried to accurately describe his color. Leave it to these two characters to give us one of the most entertaining moments of the entire film. Can you remember how Timon described his pal?

Question 24

Which One Calls Simba “Your Majesty”?

Timon and Pumbaa had absolutely no idea that Simba actually came from a royal family, and they were completely blown away when they learned the truth about his past. While one of them was still comfortable enough to just refer to him as he had always done in the past, the other was completely taken back by the fact that Simba was the rightful leader of his people, and he began referring to him by a name that is only reserved for royalty.

Question 25

Which One Appeared In The Hunchback Of Notre-Dame?

Disney Easter eggs are one of the coolest aspects of the entire company, and you can hardly watch a Disney movie without spotting some of these fantastic Easter eggs. The Hunchback of Notre-Dame may be considered one of the darker Disney films that has ever been made, but there is no denying that the movie as a whole is simply fantastic. Many people may not know this, but one of these fine characters ended up making a cameo in the film. If you pay attention to the Gargoyles, you just might catch this character next time.

Question 26

Who Did Pumbaa Live With Before He Met Timon?

One of the best parts about The Lion King is that they did an exceptional job in fleshing out its respective characters to give us a better understanding of who they are as characters and where they have come from. We got a small taste of the back-stories of Timon and Pumbaa respectively, and this question here is going to test your knowledge about everyone's favorite warthog. Prior to meeting up with Timon and forging a unique friendship, Pumbaa was just a young warthog trying to make his way through life.

Question 27

What Problem Does Pumbaa Have?

We are all going to have a number of different problems that we are going to face throughout our life, though there is one particular medical problem that Pumba deals with on a daily basis, and it is something that has caused a number of people to try and avoid contact with him altogether. You couldn't help but feel bad for Pumbaa who simply wanted to just go down to the river and enjoy some water. It's something that he has dealt with his whole life.

Question 28

Which One Thinks That Simba Will Eat Them?

Given the fact that these two characters are exponentially smaller than a lion, it only makes sense that they are much lower on the food chain, meaning that they always have to stay on their toes and watch out for a bigger creature coming along and having them for lunch. Simba may have been just a cub when they first found him, but one of these two characters wasn't exactly willing to have him on board for fear that symbol was going to grow up and turn them into a snack.

Question 29

Which One Appeared In Tangled?

Tangled is one of the best Disney films released in the last 10 years, and many people actually prefer this film to the more popular Frozen. It was a movie that packed all of the best Disney qualities into one feature, and it was able to haul in a ton of money at the box office when it was in theaters. It may be hard to believe now, but one of these two famous secondary characters ended up making a brief appearance in the film Tangled, though noticing this character was incredibly difficult to do.

Question 30

Which Character Said: "Woah! Jeez, why do I always have to save your a-aaaaahhhhh!"

The Lion King is a film that saw our favorite characters be put into position of danger throughout the movie, and while we were pretty sure that they were going to make it out okay, we couldn't help but wonder if something bad was going to happen This line is spoken during one of the most intense scenes in the entire film, and it just went to show the audience that Timon and Pumbaa were willing to do anything for each other.

Question 31

Who Voices Timon?

Being a voice actor is one of the most difficult tasks a performer will undertake, and it was important that Disney was able to find the right voices for each of these characters. They needed to find people who were able to bring their unique personalities to life without being much of a distraction in the film. The man who is the voice behind Timon had a huge responsibility of taking on a complex character that flashed a wide array of emotions throughout the film, and he was able to do this brilliantly.

Question 32

Which Character Said: "You can be a big pig, too! Oy!"

The Lion King has a ton of songs that Disney fans have been singing since the 90s, and while you didn't hear this one play on the radio, it was easily the funniest song that appeared in the film, and it is one that many people still quote today. The ambiguous nature of this line means that you are going to have to take a moment to remember which character sang it, and that is precisely why we decided to save it for our last question.

Question 33

Who Voices Pumbaa?

One of the best parts of Pumbaa as a character is the fact that he has a relatively gentle-natured voice, especially when compared to his counterpart in Timon. The voice actor that was responsible for bringing Pumbaa to life did such a fantastic job all throughout the film, and he was able to deliver his lines in ways that were truly fantastic and believable at the same time. Leave it to Disney to make perfect casting choices for their characters.

Question 34

Which Characters Are Timon And Pumbaa Based On?

Many people may not realize that The Lion King is actually based on one of the most famous plays of all time, and as such, both Timon and Pumbaa are based on two very important characters from that play. Once people come to the realization of the play that The Lion King is adapted from, then answering this question should be a piece of cake. You may want to go back and brush up on your Shakespeare if you want to answer this question correctly.

Question 35

Which One Appeared In Kingdom Hearts II?

Kingdom Hearts is one of the coolest video game franchises that have ever been created, and it is one that blends the best elements of the Final Fantasy series as well as Disney characters together for a unique gameplay experience. Disney made sure to lend some of its most popular characters and most popular locations to the video game so that fans could truly immerse themselves in these unique worlds.
