Lemmiket is a fictional character from the 2019 animated film *The Lion King* (2019), a CGI remake of Disney’s 1994 animated classic. The character serves as a comedic and anthropomorphic representation of the rodent family, providing a humorous contrast to the more traditional animal cast. Lemmiket is voiced by Donald Glover, who also voices Simba in the film, and is designed to resemble a stylized lemur with exaggerated features, including large eyes and a playful demeanor.

In the film, Lemmiket appears as part of a group of lemur-like creatures known as the "Lemmikets," who live in the Pride Lands. They are depicted as mischievous yet endearing, often engaging in slapstick humor and playful antics. The character’s role is primarily to add lighthearted moments to the story, particularly in scenes where they interact with Simba and his friends. Lemmiket’s presence reflects the film’s effort to blend traditional Disney storytelling with a more modern, visually dynamic approach.

The character’s name is a playful mashup of "lemur" and "kit," emphasizing their small, energetic nature. While Lemmiket does not have a significant narrative arc, their inclusion contributes to the film’s vibrant world-building and comedic tone. The character has been well-received by audiences for adding a fresh, humorous perspective to the *Lion King* universe, reinforcing the film’s appeal to both younger and older viewers.
