Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed's first appearance was in Disney's 1994 animated feature, ''{{w|The Lion King}}''. In the movie, they try to catch, kill, and eat the young Simba and Nala in the Elephant Graveyard on Scar's order, but they flee when [[Mufasa]] arrives to rescue the lion cubs. Later, the hyenas help Scar execute his plan to kill Mufasa and Simba by attacking a large herd of wildebeests, causing the creatures to run into a gorge where Simba was awaiting a "surprise" from his father. When Scar finds Simba trying to wake the dead Mufasa after the stampede, he reveals that Mufasa's death was Simba's fault and orders the cub to run away and never return, then ordering Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed to give chase and kill him. Simba manages to escape the hyenas, and they return to Scar.

In the film, they try eat the young Simba and Nala in the Elephant Graveyard on Scar's order, but they flee when [[Mufasa]] arrives to rescue the lion cubs.

When Scar finds Simba trying to wake the dead Mufasa after the stampede, he reveals that Mufasa's death was Simba's fault and orders the cub to run away and never return, then ordering Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed to give chase and kill him. Simba manages to escape the hyenas, and they return to Scar.  


Years later, when Simba returns to Pride Rock, he pursues Scar through Pride Rock after the antagonistic lion confesses that he was the one who killed Mufasa. The hyenas attack Simba and try to kill him, but the lionesses engage them in battle so that he may proceed. Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed chase Timon into Scar's cave, where the late Mufasa's majordomo, Zazu, is being held prisoner, but they are beaten up by Pumbaa after Banzai calls him a "pig". Timon and Zazu are freed in the process, the hyenas fleeing the cave. After Simba corners Scar and the hyenas come to aid him, they overhear Scar telling Simba that all the events that have transpired up to this point have been their fault and their idea. The hyenas leave in anger as a result of Scar's betrayal, and Simba engages his uncle in a climatic fight to the death. Simba manges to kick Scar off of Pride Rock, and when the evil lion lands on the ground below, he finds his "friends", the hyenas, waiting for him. Shenzi finds Scar's referring to the hyenas as "friends" amusing considering he had previously referred to them as the enemy, and Scar watches in horror as the hyenas close in around him. They leap on their master, devouring him.
