Speedy the Snail

Speedy the Snail (voiced by Corey Burton) is a talking and singing snail who befriends Timon and Pumbaa in the Timon &amp; Pumbaa episode "French Fried". At first, the duo wants to eat the snail, but his abilities to speak and sing and his good-humored, bon viveur attitude get them to become friends with him instead. Timon decides to name him Speedy because he thought giving such a name to a snail would be a brilliant incongruity.

Shortly afterwards, Timon, Pumbaa and Speedy are brought to France in a package and Speedy gets kidnapped by Culinary Quint, who wants to make escargot out of him. Timon and Pumbaa manage to save their new friend and bring him back home, but he is later caught by a gull, and the episode ends with Timon and Pumbaa rushing to save Speedy once again.
