Hamlet is a play not a novel.
The Lion King has definite similarities. The basic plot is comparable: An uncle (Scar/Claudius) murders his older brother (Mufassa/Hamlet sr.) for the crown, and marries his wife (Sarabi/Gertrude). In the Lion King Simba is unwilling to return for a long time, and in the Play Hamlet's procrastination in killing his uncle to avenge is father is a major critical theme.
Then there are some character similarities:
A bumbling advisor, Polonius, could be easily linked to Zazu. And Nala is a similar love interest to Simba as Ophelia is to Hamlet although Zazu is not her father
However; as it's a Disney it all works out in the end so Nala doesn't go nuts and kill herself whilst getting her jugs out at the lake. Zazu doesn't die, and especially not by Simba (even if Simba did find Zazu somewhat boring also...) and Sarabi doesn't drink a poisoned cup, and Simba isn't stabbed with an envenomed blade and die. Scar does die however... like Claudius and so does Mufassa like Hamlet sr. (even if Hamlet Sr. wasn't thrown off a cliff in the play!)
However... Loosely based? Very loosely indeed: the story is more like Macbeth than Hamlet: The king is murdered by his near kinsman who usurps the throne while the king's son flees the country, believing that he will be blamed for the murder. The king's son grows up in exile, where he makes new friends and with his friends returns to find his home country ravaged by the usurper. The usurper is defeated and the king's son becomes king.
