The comic Timon (Billy Eichner) and Pumbaa (Seth Rogen) were a combination of cute and ugly, and there was more leeway to animate as meerkat and warthog. "We first tried to make Timon's hand gestures more human, more anthropomorphic," said Jones. "And we found out right away that it broke the character. So we researched what they really could do, how they stand and move while standing and what they do with their paws. And we were limited to those moments and based the comedy on that. They're a funny animal in general. The way the meerkats move their heads is sporadic, especially when they're on the lookout. They also get a little drugged out by eating scorpions, almost like they're falling asleep, so we gave a narcoleptic sense to him. "With Pumbaa, because his mouth is behind his nose and tusks, you get a sense of it moving," Jones added. "And there's a lot we could do with the corners around the cheeks. They are also very funny animals. You come up to them in Africa and they'll run off really fast like they're scared, and then turn around and look like they forgot what they're running from. We tried to replicate that kind of movement. And Seth captured the tone so perfectly, even with the scraggly beard."
