Plot:
Timon, a 20 year old meerkat is a social outcast with his meerkat family on the outskirts of Springfeld, as he frequently messes things up by accident. Though he is unconditionally supported by his mother, Timon dreams of a better life than his colony's bleak existence, continually hiding from predators, most notably the hyenas. One day, he is assigned as a sentry in an attempt by his mother to get him accepted, but his daydreaming leads to the near death of his uncle, Max, at the hands of hyenas Shenzi, Banzai and Ed.

Now ostracized, Timon decides to leave his colony to find a better place to live. He meets the mandrill Rafiki, and advises him to "look beyond what you see". Timon takes this advice literally and observes Springfeld in the distance. Timon ventures in that direction and encounters Pumbaa, a 22 year old warthog on his way. The two quickly form a bond, and Pumbaa accompanies Timon on his journey.

Meanwhile Russ Cargill, head of the EPA, informs president Arnold Schwarzenegger on Springfield's pollution crisis. As a response, the president orders the federals to imprison Springfield under a glass dome, Timon and Pumbaa are trying to run fast as they can make it in Springfeld, completely fulfilling the prophecy. Timon and Pumbaa continue their journey and find a new friend named Homer Simpson, When Homer's silo is discovered on live television, at night, most of the townspeople form an angry mob and attempt to lynch them. Timon found that the "noisy neighbors" were the people of Springfeld they want Homer, Timon gets mad and hits with a stick at Teeny while Maggie breaks her baby bottle apart (except for Ned Flanders and his kids/including Abe/Colin initially offers flowers for Lisa, but they end up being burnt by Carl) have formed a massive angry mob approaching the Simpson home intending to kill Homer and getting contained in the dome. The family with Timon and Pumbaa both escapes through a sinkhole, which destroys their house afterwards, and flees to Alaska, where they try to restart their lives.
