Sorry if this is a silly question, but how much time/how many days do you think passed between the Elephant Graveyard scene and the Stampede?

I always thought it was on the next day,but maybe I'm wrong.

That`s the impression I`ve always had too.
But Scar would have needed some time to form his plan to kill Simba and Mufasa.. More than just a day, lol.

Nah, I think one entire evening/night/morning would have been enough to plan it, even if they didn't get much sleep during that time.

I see your point PK, it would definitely make sense. But there's a lot of situations in the movie where you can't really tell how much time has passed between one scene and the other.

I see your point too.. I always imagined it to be the next day, but one night is a rather short time to plan such an elaborate scheme, even for Scar..

True, but was it really only Scar behind it? By that time, surely Zira was around to help him, even if she wasn't being shown on-screen yet.

As the others have said, your thread is quite interesting. I have always imagined it was the next day; Scar didn't need a lot of time to make his brilliant scheme to kill Mufasa and Simba. If you listen to Be Prepared, it seems as though he had a plan by the way of his knowing. He wouldn't have told all the hyenas by yelling and with an evil smirk; he must have had a plan thought up by then. Okay, maybe he would have, but the point is that I believe he had a plan by that time.
Either that or he could have been spontaneous and thought it up as he did it.

Personally, I thought it was like a week or so after =)

I like to think it was a while afterwards, just so that Simba and Mufasa got to spend some more time together...
