Did Shakespeare have anything to do with Lion King?
Not really. The Disney people claim that they used elements of Shakespeare's play Hamlet in creating the story of Simba, but believe me, they are few, far between and very superficial. As in, they are both stories about the son of a king whose uncle murders his father and succeeds to the throne. And that's about it. In fact, the plot of The Lion King much more closely resembles the Shakespeare plays Richard III and Macbeth than Hamlet. (Scar=Richard=Macbeth; Simba=Richmond=Malcolm)

What does the Lion King and Hamlet have in common?
It wasn't originally inspired by it, but it just happened to go that way. When the production begun, they had no idea what the story would be about as the movie was about lions, and the story developed from scratch. The production team started to notice it has Hamlet-like story elements when they agreed to make Scar, who was originally a rogue lion who kills Mufasa like in the final film, Simba's uncle and decided to have more of them there. This information is from The Lion King Platinum Edition DVD release's Disc 2 bonus feature, Story Origins.
