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

What is this Charlie Manson afternoon congressional, pull up a chair! Disney would never do anything based on the violence-saturated Macbeth. a movie was done on the Shakespearean tragedy and it was directed by Roman Polanski. Our English class went to see it at the Playboy theatre. The actor playing Macbeth looked like Manson! sorry no kiddy fare here. It has been argued in Part the Lion King is based on Hamlet, but not Macbeth. By the way the name means Son of the House ( of murder?)
