The Hyenas
Shenzi Shenzi, voiced by Whoopi Goldberg, is the only female of the hyenas. Her name means "savage", "demon", "uncouth", or "barbarous" in Swahili. Whoopi Goldberg performing stand-up at a benefit for Rainforest Action Network. ...
According to Timon in The Lion King 1½, her full name is Shenzi Marie Predatora Vendetta Jacquelina Hyena. She is the leader of the trio and the smartest hyena. This is actually consistent with real spotted hyena behavior, in which the females are generally more powerful physically and politically than the males. She is wounded when Simba takes a swipe at her cheek whilst trying to save Nala. She deals best with Scar and knows how to talk with him. The Lion King 1½ (also known as The Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata in some countries outside the United States) is an animated film, a part prequel/part midquel (or in-between-quel according to the films teaser trailer) to 1994s The Lion King, made by The Walt...
She has a big, black tuft and a normal, grey snout (unlike Ed and Banzai). The animators apparently designed Shenzi using her voice actor Whoopi Goldberg as a reference, as Shenzi's face resembles Whoopi's to a certain extent. Shenzi was originally going to be male and played by Tommy Chong. [1] Thomas Tommy B. Kin Chong (born May 24, 1938) is a Canadian-born actor and musician who is well-known for his stereotypical portrayals of hippie-era stoners. ...
Banzai Banzai was voiced by Cheech Marin. His name means "skulk" or "lurk" in Swahili. “Richard Marin†redirects here. ...
In the film, Banzai is the most unfortunate of the hyenas, being wounded twice. His rear end was swiped by Mufasa in the elephant graveyard, and later he became the only hyena to fall into a thorn patch while chasing Simba. He also seems to get hungry more easily than the hyenas, frequently making references to food and being the most discontent of the hyenas when the Pride Lands lacks food under Scar's rule ("It's dinnertime, and we ain't got no stinkin' entrees!") In British and Australian English, an entrée (also known as starters) is a smaller course that precedes the main course. ...
Ed Ed is considered stupid. He almost always has a smile on his face and usually laughs (he never speaks at all; as such, his voice is the same in all his appearances. He has two round cuts on each ear. He was voiced by Jim Cummings who recorded four hours of all kinds of laughter so that it could be inserted in the movie depending of the situation (such as worried laugh, nervous laugh, etc.) James Jonah Jim Cummings (born November 3, 1952[1] in Youngstown, Ohio) is an American voice actor who is best known for his work on the Winnie the Pooh animated series. ...
In the elephant graveyard, Ed was the first to notice their escape while his two distracted peers were still occupied exchanging jokes/arguing about who gets to eat whom. When Mufasa attacked them, they got into even more trouble when he confirmed (by nodding) that he knew Simba was Mufasa's son. Later, he laughed at Banzai because his rear end was wounded. Banzai got angry and attacked him, but after the scuffle ended Ed was actually revealed to be biting his own leg.
Although Ed is considered stupid, he understood Scar's betrayal near to the end of the film. When Shenzi and Banzai asked Ed for his opinion on what to do with the fallen Scar, he just gave a sadistic smile, licked his lips, started laughing (a low, frightening chuckle rather than his usual insane laughter), and moved inwards to kill Scar along with the other hyenas.
The hyenas first appear in the Elephant Graveyard that Simba and Nala venture into. The hyenas, under Scar's orders, chase the cubs in an attempt to kill them, but are frightened off by Mufasa. Afterwards, they help Scar carry out his plan to kill Mufasa by triggering the wildebeest stampede. Immediately after Scar tells Simba to run away and never return, he commands the hyenas to kill Simba too, but Simba eventually eludes the clumsy hyenas. Years into Scar's reign, they complain about lack of food in the Pride Lands but Scar ignores them. When Simba returns to overthrow Scar, the hyenas join the fight, but most are defeated, and Shenzi and Banzai are ruthlessly beaten up by Pumbaa for calling him a "pig". When Shenzi, Banzai and Ed overhear a helpless Scar telling Simba the hyenas are the enemy, they furiously turn against their master. Together with some other hyenas, they corner Scar after he is defeated by Simba and kill him. This article is about Disneys 1994 film. ...

In their first appearance, they attack a meerkat colony when Timon, who is the sentry on duty of the colony, is daydreaming. They fail to catch any meerkats, but this incident drives Timon to leave the colony to find where he truly belongs. The hyenas make an appearance again during the film's climax at Pride Rock. They are seen chasing Timon and Pumbaa into a cave, and are driven out by Pumbaa's flatulence. Eventually, Timon and Pumbaa are cornered by the hyenas. Timon proposes to Shenzi as a desperate move to buy time for his mother and Uncle Max as they dig a tunnel, which she turns down abruptly. The hyenas then fall into the tunnel, which transports them to the ground just in time for them to confront Scar.

Backstory The hyenas were also featured in two spin-off books of The Lion King, set before the events of the original film.
In A Tale of Two Brothers, the young hyenas appear at the beginning where they surround a helpless Rafiki who had just arrived in the Pride Lands. King Ahadi comes to the rescue just in time, with his sons Mufasa and Taka (Scar), and demands the hyenas to leave. The hyenas appear again later, where they advise Scar to make Ahadi think Mufasa was useless by making Mufasa enrage a selfish buffalo. The plan did not turn out well, and Scar's eye was wounded by the buffalo herd in the process, hence the nickname "Scar". Rafiki is an anthropomorphized mandrill who first appeared in the Walt Disney Pictures animated film The Lion King. ...

In Friends in Need, the young hyenas appear again at the beginning, where they are preparing to boil a very young Zazu in the elephant graveyard like in the first film. A teenage Mufasa passes by, scares the hyenas away, and befriends Zazu.

The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa The three hyenas made occasional appearances in the TV series The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa.

 The three hyenas in Kingdom Hearts II The hyenas first encountered the game's main protagonists, Sora, Donald Duck and Goofy, when they first appeared in the Pride Lands and battled with them twice. Later on, Sora and company defeated the hyenas again when they were attempting to kill Timon and Pumbaa, just before helping Simba fight Scar. After Scar was destroyed, the hyenas went back to the Elephant Graveyard and started eating carcasses again, though Shenzi considered it a mixed blessing. The trio had one final part in the story, having some knowledge relating to Scar's "ghost" and forcing Sora and Simba to chase and attack them for answers. Once beaten, Shenzi remembers that Scar's ghost only appears when animals are frightened. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
