Was the storyline for the movie The Lion King based on the epic sundiata?
Well, The Lion King and the African Epic of Sundiata do bear story similiarites, but the filmmakers stated The Lion King was based on Hamlet and the Joseph and Moses stories on the DVD bonus features of The Lion King Platinum Edition DVD. Since the filmmakers didn't mention the African Epic as an inspiration for the film despite its similiarities, the storyline for The Lion King wasn't officially based on the African Epic of Sundiata.
