Did Shakespeare have anything to do with Lion King?
Not really. The Disney people claim that they used elements of Shakespeare's play Hamlet in creating the story of Simba, but believe me, they are few, far between and very superficial. As in, they are both stories about the son of a king whose uncle murders his father and succeeds to the throne. And that's about it. In fact, the plot of The Lion King much more closely resembles the Shakespeare plays Richard III and Macbeth than Hamlet. (Scar=Richard=Macbeth; Simba=Richmond=Malcolm)
