Ed first appeared in Elephant graveyard with Shenzi and Banzai. He had fun torturing Zazu with the others and he also chased the cubs. When Mufasa attacked them, they got into even more trouble when he confirmed (by nodding) that they knew Simba was Mufasa's son. Later he laughed at Banzai because he was wounded. Banzai got angry and attacked him. When Shenzi yelled at them, they stopped fighting (Ed was biting his own leg). After that he was with the others on the meadow near the herd of wildebeests and scared them with other hyenas to trigger the stampede. After they failed to kill Simba, Ed laughed (again) with Shenzi at wounded Banzai. He later appeared with Banzai and Shenzi when they wanted to ask Scar for some food and water. During the hyena fight with adult Simba he was waiting for his friends at the entrance. Although Ed is considered stupid he understood Scar's betrayal. It was the first he was serious. When Shenzi and Banzai asked "Ed?" for his opinion, he just smiled (evil this time) and ate Scar with the other hyenas.
