[quote="crystally"][quote="SuperBabySimba"][quote="Arani"]The three are actually siblings. In the TLK book of Mufasa and Taka growing up he met them and one hyena came to rescue them from Ahadi, saying all three were her pups.[/quote]
The books were not written by this films' makers + they even denied those particular books from applying the film by denying Kopa. So, no, they were not actually siblings in this film. Could be, but as far as we know, that is only a fanvision.[/quote]
Well technically it's not fanvision nor is it fanfic as they're not written by
fans so...

How do you know they're not fans? Just because they write childrens' book for living, doesn't mean they can't be fans of the things they base their books on. =) And as they most certainly weren't Disney's own people but outsiders, and the film makers denied the books instead of tying them into the movies, and we don't know if they were fans of not, I think fans and fanfiction is the closest accurate term for the writers and the books.
