When was the Stampede?

[PrincessKiara]

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.

[PrincessKiara]

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.

[SnowyCheetah]

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.

[TheIvanMuse]

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.

[Simbaholikov]

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..

[SnowyCheetah]

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 =)

[Pixie]

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