So What exactly caused the Wilderneasts to run??


Was is Simba's weak roar??

Or was it the Hyenas trying to eat them?

reply

The Hyenas definitely started it somehow. Intentionally timed the same time as the roar.

reply

Exactly. There were more than just three hyenas and they attacked the heard.

The Hyenas start it somehow but since that part is not seen in the movie your guess is as good as mine if not better then mine. But since the wildebeasters were up on the cliff and Simba was below them, how would they have heard his weak roar?

reply

We do see the Hyenas snapping at the Wildebeasts. It's safe to assume they started it.

Plus, like you said, that weak roar wouldn't cause them to stampede. And certainly not towards the roar.

You are sin.

reply

You right about that they would have started the stampede somehow, and plus the hyena that is voiced by Whoopi Goldberg says, no we have to wait for the signal from Scar.

reply

The hyenas obviously. it is shown as they are trying to nip at them and stand at the entrance of the gorge. I don't think wilder beasts are that stupid to run exactly where they hear the roar coming from.....

Lol.. Wilderneast!

Simba's weak roar signals the Hyenas to chase the Wildebeests

It was the hyenas for sure it was their idea.
