Timon, the spirited meerkat from The Lion King, is the epitome of a ride-or-die companion, sticking with you no matter what. Timon, alongside Pumbaa, is the one who teaches Simba to embrace the stress-free joys of "Hakuna Matata" and his bond with him perfectly counterbalances the film’s emotional highs and lows, reminding us that humour and a memorable song can bring lightness to even the most intense scenes. With his quick-witted humour and occasional flashes of insight, Timon is undeniably one of Disney’s most cherished sidekicks.
