The Lion King

The Lion King – Walt Disney Pictures

If you haven’t shed a tear while watching ‘The Lion King,’ you might be considered cold-hearted! Dealing with ambition, revenge and grief, this film has deep narratives within it.

‘The Lion King’ draws inspiration from various sources, including classical literature and Shakespearean drama. The primary influence for ‘The Lion King’ is William Shakespeare’s play ‘Hamlet.’ While not a direct copy, the parallels are evident. The story of ‘Hamlet’ revolves around a young prince seeking to avenge his father’s death after his uncle takes the throne.

There are also biblical influences in ‘The Lion King.’ The character of Mufasa, the wise and just king, is reminiscent of biblical father figures. In addition to literary and dramatic influences, ‘The Lion King’ incorporates elements of traditional African culture, particularly in its visual aesthetics, music, and themes.
