In the lion king why does the hyena edd never speak but the others do? he laughs alot but never speaks Anyone know?

The directors and the producer say on the commentary track of the DVD that they had Ed like that because hyenas are known for their "laughing" so they wanted to have a hyena that laughs a lot instead of speaking. ou something along that line. Listen to the commentary track of the DVD. There's a lot of interesting information about the movie and its making donné out on it. (:

I Agree with bendaimmortal! They did it too so it can be funny so children have something to have a good laugh at, although i am not a kid but i still will always l’amour this movie and the TLK2 too forever!!

Because it's funny.

Cause that's his character

I think he was supposed to be retarted.

There isn't an explanation for everything.

(1)Hyenas laugh a lot.
(2) He's probably just stupid
(3) He's supposed to be funny
