What disney animated film was based on a 1956 novel by dodie smith?

The Lion King, which was based off of Shakespeare's Hamlet. They aren't exactly the same (it can't be a tragedy, it's Disney!) But there are a lot of similarities. Uncle Kill Brother to be King, son sees his fathers ghost, Son Kills uncle. In Hamlet, Hamlet dies at the end, but Disney couldn't do that to SIMBA


Where was The Lion King published?

No, it's not. It started off as the film makers' original story out of their own heads. When they started on the movie, they didn't even have any idea what the story would be about except that it would be about lions. Originally its name wasn't even The Lion King but 'The King of the Jungle'. That's why there was numerous drastically different scripts and concepts which were constantly changing and developing.As the profuction went on, the story became to have elements from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet - the prince of Denmark whose evil uncle took over the kingdom after murdering Hamlet's father while Hamlet was out of country, and in the end Hamlet sees his father's ghost who guides Hamlet and Hamlet returns to claim the throne. Some of The Lion King story origins from Biblical stories such as the story of Moses who was born to royalty but exiled at young age, grows up elsewhere and in the end returns home to save his people from slavery. This is literally evident from the film itself and confirmed in the 'Story Origins' featurette on the Disc 2 of the DVD.The same year after the movie was released, was published a fanfiction book series called 'The Lion King: Six New Adventures' that is based on the film - those books many fans treat as canon source but in fact they are not. It is only profit fanfiction written by people who did not and do not work at the Walt Disney Company.
