For you timon and pumba were the heart of GOTG , another person may see it differently but there is a common agreement that both characters serve as the main humour relief characters in GOTG as much as timon and pumba in lion king. I knew I had seen raccoon and groot from somewhere before , it took me 5 years to realise they were already in another Disney movie.
