* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Timon and Pumbaa is so popular in Arab World, and even ''[[AdaptationDisplacement more known than]] [[Disney/TheLionKing the original movie]]''. it difinitely helps that Mohamed Henedy, a popular Egyptian actor, voices Timon in the franchise (except WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard, due to stop using the egyptian accent in Disney's new Arabic dubs).

* {{SugarWiki/Awesome Art}}: While any episode sent to [[Creator/WaltDisneyAnimationStudios Walt Disney Animation Australia]] is sure to be visually stellar, "Stand By Me" (which was actually colored digitally and released in theaters), "Forbidden Pumbaa", "Beethoven's Whiff/Bumble in the Jungle" and "Jamaica Mistake" are nearly film quality.
**The title cards for the show are also beautiful, with "To Kilamanjaro Bird" being the best example.



* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: The other characters from the film only appear sparsely, despite getting a few enjoyable [[ADayInTheLimelight Days In The Limelight]] in the starting points of the series. Then there are the original characters of the series, who typically disapear after about one or two episodes.

*{{They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot}}: "Beetle Romania", judging from its title card, could have mined endless humor from the idea of Timon and Pumbaa being fortune tellers, but instead it's just another {{Fantastic Voyage Plot}}.

*JerkassWoobie: Timon has this going for him. Sure, he's manipulative, greedy and short-tempered but he has his fair share of sympathetic moments and generally gets tortured worse than Pumbaa. Just look at his tearful reaction to being banished in "Once Upon A Timon".

* AuthorsSavingThrow: This could be the case with Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, considering [[AnimalStereotypes the controversy of how the film portrays hyenas]]. While they still have their carnivorous natures, they do not appear to be as threatening as they are in the movie and they even get a good ending in "TV Dinner". Other hyenas in the series, like the one in "Guru-Some", are also portrayed as good guys instead of threats.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Timon and Pumbaa attempt to steal back a briefcase full of money from Criminal Quint by posing as a human toilet plunger salesman wearing a large trenchcoat, Pumbaa at the bottom, Timon at the top. Timon tells him not to close the door on him until he "sees THIS!", with Pumbaa proceeding to shove a plunger through the area of the coat where the crotch would normally be! Quint's momentary reaction makes this moment.

* ShipTease: There was some suggestion of attraction between Shenzi and Banzai in the movie, and it really gets hiked up in the "Laughing Hyenas" episodes.
** They repeatedly call each other things like 'honey' and 'girlfriend'.
** In "Can't Take A Yolk" when the hyenas are redirecting an elephant, Shenzi and Banzai point him in the direction by holding up arrows - which start by being pointed at each other.
** It's not just the little things either. Banzai's constantly trying to please and impress Shenzi - more obviously than the movie even. Real male hyenas are a bit the same when courting females.

* SeasonalRot: Fans of the show hate the final season due to numerous changes being made. These involve [[AnimationBump very different animation]], the constant appearence of humans, the other characters of the movie rarely (if ever) appearing, and some downright bad writing. There is a strong rumor that the series, likely as a result of ExecutiveMeddling, gained a different production team that gave it a more child-friendly tone, killing the show's ratings. This has never been confirmed, however, as the series never had ''any'' behind-the-scenes information released.
