Usually I'm a "ship and let ship" type of person, but in this case I just have to disagree. I'm glad that they aren't canon and I don't get why so many people suggest they're a "secret gay couple" just because they raised a child together.

My reason is that I just really dislike Timon and I can't see them as a romantic couple given how Timon talks down to Pumbaa. They hang out together because they're both societal rejects. Timon needed protection and Pumbaa just wanted to find a friend.

Also, Timon only wanted to "adopt" Simba as a personal bodyguard. Again, just for his own selfish reasons.

Conclusion: Timon doesn't deserve a sweet character like Pumbaa.

(Damn you, OP, for making me think so hard about shipping two animals ;D)

Well, I guess so many people insist they're a couple because they basically raised an "adopted kid" together.

Personally I don't really have much interest in shipping animals, anthropomorphic or otherwise, but I certainly see where it comes from.

But Pumbaa was the one that wanted to take care of Simba. Timon wanted to leave him alone until Pumbaa mentioned how Simba would be a personal bodyguard, not a "child of us!". So I don't see it neither in the "Gay couple that adopted a lion that become in the King of Africa" trope.

While I really don't care about the inner workings of whether or not an animated meerkat and wart hog might be secretly in love or not, I really don't get why so many people take an initial character motivation and act like it's set in stone.

Sure the original motivation wasn't this selfless, pure, beautiful thing - but their relationships came to mean more than "I'm lonely and I need a bodyguard". It seemed pretty obvious that by the end of the Hakuna Matata montage, they were more or less their own little inseparable family.

I mean idk, but I was a social reject when I was younger, and I did form friendships with other people out of convenience. But that doesn't mean the years I spent with them were just based on that one selfish thing that propelled me toward them forever, and nothing more.
