SHENZI'S STORY.

While Azizi and Kamari's roles are largely the same as their originals, Shenzi is portrayed as a serious leader and doesn't have any trace of the comical side of her original.

This may indicate that the hyenas are living a new life as directors and stars of the wildlife documentary show, where they get fed during their new career. They start off as Scar's followers but along with the other Hyenas kill him near the end for his poor leadership. Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed are the secondary antagonists of Disney's 1994 animated feature film The Lion King.They are a trio of spotted hyenas who were loyal followers and henchmen of Scar and the leaders of the clan. The hyenas bully Timon by using him as a volleyball until Pumbaa shows up and rams into Banzai, sending him flying into the leaves of a nearby bush. According to Timon in The Lion King 1½, her full name is Shenzi Marie Predatora Veldetta Jacquelina Hyena. She and the other hyenas take part in the After Simba throws Scar off of Pride Rock, Shenzi and the other hyenas take their revenge and kill Scar, and then run off. Shenzi's position as the matriarch of her group is also shown clearly to the point that Azizi and Kamari fear her (the novelization based on the film's plot also describes her as a hyena queen). With Simon out of their paws, Banzai complains that he's hungry enough to eat a whole blue whale, summoning a giant whale that lands directly on top of the trio. In addition, both Banzai and Shenzi have waited until Ed's reply before deciding on a response or a proper course of action at least twice: The first time when Shenzi and Banzai were rhetorically asking who was present in the elephant graveyard, and the second when noting that Scar had earlier called them their enemies before exacting revenge with the other Hyena Clan members. Banzai seems to be the only one who can translate Ed's laughter to have meaning, suggesting they have known each other for a long time. However, when they overhear Scar's attempt to pin the blame of Mufasa's death on them and plan to kill them, they angrily leave to inform the other hyenas that they were being used by Scar. Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. However, this has bought just enough time and the hyenas then fall into the tunnel and were defeated by them. Her authority is so absolute that she has no need to exert physical force over other hyenas - Banzai and Ed consistently follow her orders without her needing to fight them - whether they are to stop fighting, remain where they are, or even to lie to Scar.

To the frustration of the cheetahs, the hyenas run into each other along the way and realize that they've been tricked. As a compromise, the hyenas set up an obstacle course for Simon, waiting until he dives into their circus cannon to fire it. Unlike in the original, the hyenas are not allied with Scar from the very beginning. Following Scar's plan, Shenzi and the others start the stampede that resulted with Mufasa's death and chase after Simba who survived. The three hyenas made occasional appearances in the TV series They appear in the 2019 photorealistic remake. When Shenzi and Ed both knock Banzai into the bramble bush, they both laugh at him. 98 likes. Shenzi is a female hyena. Shenzi, Banzai and Ed are a trio of hyenas who appear as the secondary antagonists of The Lion King, and The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride, and the main antagonists of The Lion King 1½. Later on in the game, the trio of hyenas are fought again for information on the source of Scar's ghost, meaning that they survived the first Lion King movie. Cheetata convinces Shenzi that she's the brains of the bunchShenzi and her cohorts prove themselves to be poor hunters, constantly disrupting the hunts of Cheetata and Cheetato. Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed are among the villains imprisoned on the Isle of the Lost. Additionally, Shenzi must have only very recently have become the Matriarch, having only just reached sexual maturity herself, which might explain why she accepted Scar's offer of an alliance.
