Simba is so scarred that he runs away. In reality, Scar wanted to take over the pride. Soon thereafter, Simba leaves the pride. He runs into the two people who become his best friends - Timon, a meerkat, and Pumbaa - a warthog (and the first Disney character ever to fart on screen). They teach the young, impressionable lad, life's most important lesson: "Hakuna Matata" (it means no worries).
