According to the "Lion King" filmmakers when questioned about the story's originality, they claimed the film was loosely based on the Joseph and Moses stories in The Bible.
For example, Simba/Moses are both princes in their homeland, but are exiled when accused of murder. They live in exile for a period of time and are called back to their homeland to free their families from oppression by an evil leader known as Scar/Pharaoh. So pretty much Yes, it has a religious plot.
it has been adapted into a movie (with various important plot elements gone horribly wrong) but not as a proper motion picture
Disney based the Lion King loosely around the plot of Hamlet- missing some vital plot points nevertheless.
The exposition of The Lion King starts from when Simba is presented to the Pridelands up until Mufasa's death, which is when the rising action begins. During the part of the film, it introduces the essential characters, and Scar's plot to usurp the throne.
== ==Many plot lines are based on Shakespeare's plays. For example, the plot of West Side Story is a lot like Romeo and Juliet, and the plot of The Lion King is a lot like Hamlet.
In the original animated film "The Lion King," Simba does not die. He goes through various challenges and experiences, including the death of his father, Mufasa, but ultimately survives and becomes the king of the Pride Lands. However, in the broader "Lion King" franchise, there are different adaptations and spin-offs where the storyline may vary.

REDRUM. This is a major plot point in Stephen King's "The Shining" book and movie.
Mufasa and Scar are brothers in "The Lion King". Mufasa is the older brother and the king of the Pride Lands, while Scar is the younger brother who is jealous of Mufasa's power and seeks to take the throne for himself. Their strained relationship is central to the plot of the movie.
In "The Lion King," Zara is not a character; instead, you might be referring to Zira, who is the main antagonist in "The Lion King II: Simba's Pride." Zira's cubs are Kovu, Vitani, and Nne and Tano, who play significant roles in the story, particularly in their conflict with Simba's pride and their connection to the legacy of Scar. Kovu, in particular, is central to the plot as he is chosen to be the successor of Zira's ambitions.

Every movie has a plot. If it didn't have a plot it would be a movie scene. Example- the movie spy kids!
