Although much of the story remains the same, there are a few differences between the original The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa and the duo found here. Their arrival into the film injects it with a much-needed dose of energy and humor, which they rarely let up from there on out. Timon (Billy Eichner) and Pumbaa (Seth Rogen) are arguably The Lion King 2019's biggest success in terms of adapting from the original. They do still provide some comic relief thanks to the banter between Azizi (Eric Andre) and Kamari (Keegan-Michael Key), but they are a more credible enemy here. As with Scar, the hyenas are made out to be far more threatening here too, rather than the bumbling fools of the original The Lion King. Whereas in 1994's The Lion King she was just one of the pack, in Favreau's live-action remake she becomes their leader, and one who has a long-running history with Mufasa, which then becomes a personal rivalry with Nala (Beyoncé). This is particularly the case for Shenzi (Florence Kasumba), the only hyena from the original to still exist here.

In the original The Lion King, the hyenas a laughing fools who Scar manipulates into doing his bidding. One of the reasons for The Lion King remake's "Be Prepared" being so different, aside from some changes in Scar's own personality, is that the hyenas have been given a serious upgrade too.
