Transcript[]

(Timon and Pumbaa are seen walking in a white background while minding their business)

Timon: Aw, Pumbaa. Don't you love trying some gummy worms in a bag?
Pumbaa: I do. They even taste like a real grub worm.
Timon: Even as a beetle.
Pumbaa: Oh look! It's a thing!
Timon: What is this?
Pumbaa: Move your head, come on.
Timon: What about it?
Pumbaa: It's a thing!
Timon: A thing? For?
Pumbaa: I can see the people. *put his head on the glass and break it* Oops!
Timon: Pumbaa, what did you do?
Pumbaa: I accidentally broke the thing. I'm sorry!
Timon: What is on the thing?
Pumbaa: Let's go find out.
Timon: Okay!
Pumbaa: Right behind you.

(Timon and Pumbaa explore Google through a webpage in much of their surprise)

Timon: Ooh, Google!
Pumbaa: Goggles?
Timon: No. Google!
Pumbaa: What does it do?
Timon: You can surf on the web and search up pictures in it.
Pumbaa: Ooh. Type in The Lion King!
Timon: Good idea, Pumbaa. *search up The Lion King* Holy crab cakes.
Pumbaa: Ooh! We're in the thing! I'm in The Lion King.
Timon: We are in the movie, Pumbaa. Don't we watch the movie like 30 times in a year?
Pumbaa: Yeah. Oh, I see me, you, Simba, Nala, Mufasa, Sarabi, Rafiki, Zazu, Scar and the hyenas!
Timon: Everyone is in the movie. How surprising.
Pumbaa: *look up the link to The Lion King Wiki* The Lion King Wiki? What is that?
Timon: It's an encyclopedia like Wikipedia. Why not go to the site and find out?
Pumbaa: Okie dokie! *click on the site*

(Timon and Pumbaa transport to The Lion King Wiki as they explore the main page and various pages on the wiki)

Timon: Whoa! The Lion King Wiki. How fascinating.
Pumbaa: It got everything!
Timon: Everything? This is a wiki made for everyone! What do you expect?
Pumbaa: *bounce on the pictures* Wee! I'm bouncing like a ball.
Timon: Pumbaa, what are you doing? This is a wiki site, not a fun free zone.
Pumbaa: *land on the Featured Article* Boing! It seems that The Lion Guard is featured for the day.
Timon: Very precisely. We used to be in a lot of movies and TV shows about us.
Pumbaa: Video games and comics too!
Timon: How about we look up some articles out of ourselves?
Pumbaa: Ooh, yeah. Let's go.
Timon: *look up a article of himself* Oh yeah! Timon! That is me! Look at that handsome fella. He seems cartoonish and got his wacky ears down below.
Pumbaa: You look like you.
Timon: So? We're all animated and we're suppose to look like from a cartoon.
Pumbaa: What about the 2019 remake?
Timon: Same. Most people do not like the Lion King remake. Imagine if I look up a page out of you.
Pumbaa: Silly me. You wouldn't be surprised if you try to look me up on the web.
Timon: Beats me.
Pumbaa: *look up a article of himself* Pum-baa!
Timon: Man, you stink like a real warthog.
Pumbaa: I am suppose to stink. What do you expect from me?
Timon: Big, juicy, fat, chubby, you name it.
Pumbaa: Man, I look funny and sharp, even my relationship with Simba get any bigger.
Timon: Your tusks are as sharp as a walrus.
Pumbaa: Everyone say the same thing, even the boars and pigs.
Timon: Not all pigs have tusks you know.
Pumbaa: Whatever.
Timon: *look up a article of Pride Rock* Holy lava rocks. It's Pride Rock.
Pumbaa: So majestic.
Timon: So powerful.
Pumbaa: So... bizarrely named. A proud rock!
Timon: Pumbaa, how can a rock be proud? It's a rock!
Pumbaa: Well, I think it's because a "pride" is what they call a group of lions.
Timon: Oh, sure, the lions get Pride Rock. And what about us meerkats? We dig underground where we dig and hide from hyenas and predatory threats!
Pumbaa: As for my sounder. Well, we just wander around.
Timon: Wander, bender, whatever. I get it. Why not look up some articles out of some people we know.
Pumbaa: Ooh, yeah. Let's do that.
Timon: Okie dokie! *click on a article of Rafiki* Hoo hoo hoo. Take a look at this, Pumbaa. It's the monkey!
Pumbaa: Rafiki?
Timon: Oh Rafiki. You are one of a kind. How do you call yourself a major domo, eh?
Pumbaa: He's like every major domo that served a thing from the past.
Timon: Rafiki is my kind of guy. Yeah. *move his arm toward the image as Rafiki randomly pops out*
Rafiki: Hey hey hey.
Timon: Aah! Rafiki! You're real!
Pumbaa: How did you get in here?
Rafiki: You must be looking around. Where do you think you're going?
Timon: Rafiki, it's me, Timon. I know you since the Pride Lands.
Rafiki: I know who you are, Timon. I bet you're having a good day today, are you?
Timon: Of course I am.
Pumbaa: We got some catching up to do.
Rafiki: Any wiki worth going is worth going twice. *laugh* Hoo hoo hoo.
Timon: Wise monkey, eh?
Pumbaa: Why not look up more articles of characters?
Timon: Let's go. *look up a article of Zazu* Whoa, check it out. It's Zazu.
Pumbaa: Oh Zazu. You always be serving every king over the years.
Rafiki: He served under Mufasa and recently Simba.
Timon: That what he makes a good person.
Pumbaa: He's my kind of friend.
Rafiki: May Zazu speak the honors.
Zazu: *fly out of his image* Hello there my friends.
Timon: Hey hey hey. Zazu came to life.
Pumbaa: He's really real!
Rafiki: Hi there Zazu. What brings you here?
Zazu: Oh. I'm just doing my job. No pressures, no worries and no fractures.
Timon: We got a lot of hanging out to do there.
Pumbaa: Let's explore the main page.
Rafiki: Let's go!
Zazu: We're on our way.
Timon: *he and everyone return to the main page* We're back.
Pumbaa: The wiki is looking tight as always.
Rafiki: What a wonderful wiki it is. This is where people look up pages about the franchise and learn about the characters, locations and various things you see from the franchise.
Timon: It's going forward.
Pumbaa: Look at all the sister wikis. Disney Wiki and Lion King Fanon Wiki?
Rafiki: Since when we have a fanon wiki?
Zazu: Like canon?
Timon: Fanon means fan-made, like fanfictions out of a existing IP.
Pumbaa: Let's go take a look at the fanon wiki, shall we?
Timon: Yes. If you say so.
Pumbaa: Let's-a go.
Rafiki: C'mon now.
Zazu: Time to go to the sister wiki.

(Timon, Pumbaa, Rafiki and Zazu transport to The Lion King Fanon Wiki as they are surprised by the look of the fanon wiki as well various fanon pages seen on the wiki)

Timon: Wow. The Lion King Fanon Wiki. How surprising.
Pumbaa: It look like fun to me.
Rafiki: Whoa. That's a lot of fan-made pages out there.
Zazu: It seem so delightful seeing all these fan works based on the movie put with a lot of love.
Timon: I wonder what we can see on the fanon wiki today?
Pumbaa: Look at fanfictions? Original characters? And locations?
Rafiki: Let's go look at the original characters.
Zazu: Okay! Here we go!
Timon: *look at a article of Subira* Hey, who is this?
Pumbaa: That is Subira. The daughter of Kiara and Kovu.
Rafiki: Who knew Kiara and Kovu are married and have a daughter together.
Zazu: It generations since the lions always get married and have cubs.
Timon: Ooh, I wonder what relates to Subira. *press on the link to the Jengo article* Jengo!
Pumbaa: Jengo? Like Jenga?
Timon: No. Jengo. Jengo is the son of Kopa and Vitani.
Pumbaa: Kopa? Isn't he a character from The Lion King: Six New Adventures?
Rafiki: Yeah but, the books aren't canon to the main timeline.
Zazu: And I thought Kion was the real son of Simba and Nala who appear in The Lion Guard.
Timon: Anyways, go to next page. *click on a article of Dogo* Oh my. Who is this handsome fellow?
Pumbaa: It's Dogo. The mate of Subira.
Rafiki: I knew Subira have a mate.
Zazu: He came from the Asis Pride which is far away from where we live.
Timon: I know what story he is from.
Pumbaa: He's from The Lion King IV: Subira's Beginning.
Rafiki: How about we read Subira's Beginning together?
Zazu: Yeah. I would love to read a story.
Timon: Okay! *he and everyone read The Lion King IV: Subira's Beginning* Wow, this story is really good.
Pumbaa: It give me the charms!
Rafiki: Since when a proper sequel to Simba's Pride exist?
Zazu: It's just a fanfiction. It's not like you're expecting a real sequel to a Lion King movie to happen.
Timon: So many romance!
Pumbaa: The final battle is like the last fight of Simba's Pride all over again.
Rafiki: I'm getting goosebumps.
Zazu: Same.
Timon: Well, it been good exploring the internet with you guys. I guess it is time to say goodbye to every one of you.
Pumbaa: Thank you for everything, boys.
Rafiki: You guys are welcome.
Zazu: The internet is a safe place for all ages to explore as long you don't fall into something dangerous.
Timon: Always surf around the web if you wanna look for something that interest you.
Pumbaa: You can play games, watch videos, watch a movie and watch a show.
Rafiki: You can also read if you're interested.
Zazu: Hey. We're reading here.
Timon: It feel so great looking at the thing.
Pumbaa: And the people who are reading us are being enthralled.
Rafiki: Maybe show some articles to your kids and grandkids when you grow up.
Pumbaa: But I am already a grown-up, Rafiki.
Rafiki: Like I was saying, Simba and Nala's grandkids would love to see articles on said wikis about the history of the Pride Lands.
Zazu: You would know the better if I were you.
Timon: Okay. It's time to shut down and go home.
Pumbaa: Thank you for everything, Rafiki and Zazu.
Rafiki: You're welcome.
Zazu: You guys know the drill.
Everyone: *wave* Goodbye!
Timon: Thank you for reading.
Pumbaa: Thank you for exploring the thing with us.
Rafiki: And now, we're shutting off.
Zazu: Have a nice day. *fly to the shut off button and shut the computer off*
