Corrected entry: At the end of the movie, Simba is seen swimming with Timon and all his meerkat friends at his waterfall home. However, at the end of the first movie, Simba takes his place as King and Nala gives birth to Kiara. Timon and Pumbaa stay with them, as they are seen in the second movie as well. Simba would not leave after becoming King or after his mate having a cub.

Correction: The Lion King 1½ is a prequel and semi-retelling, dealing with Timon and Pumbaa's life prior to and during the events of the first film. As such, it's not unreasonable that the pre-King Simba could appear in the final scenes.
