Some scenarios and characters are very similar, to the point of being mirrored. However, the storylines are completely different.

Disney claims all similarities are coincidental, but there are more than enough to consider copying a legitimate claim.

No, it wasn't originally supposed to be anything like Hamlet but coinsidentally, it started to have Hamlet-like story elements when the production team agreed to make Scar, who was originally a rogue lion who kills Mufasa like in the final film, Simba's uncle. Then, they decided to take it to more of that direction. Also, it can't be called a copy of Hamlet as the storylines are very different, and it has also elements from the Biblical stories of Moses and Joseph. The Lion King is only (strongly) inspired by Hamlet, having obvious elements from it.

Disney's The Lion King is a retelling of William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Though the Lion King does not follow the story exactly it is still about a prince whose father is murdered by his uncle.

When will Lion King be released from the Disney Vault?

We have "The Lion King" on DVD. My oldest is about to turn 9, so I'm sure we obtained the movie within the last 6 years.

Is it illegal to create a DVD using videos from you tube like if you wanted to burn the movie the lion king is that legal?

Yes, it is illegal. The person who uploaded the video is violating copyright, and you are violating copyright in downloading and burning it. The law against copyright prevents you from *copying* things - ie. uploading them to YouTube, or burning them - without permission. So it does not matter where you get a copy of The Lion King from, if you copy it yourself by burning it without permission of the copyright holder, ie. Disney, you are breaking copyright law.
