But, the late Thomas Disch came up with a treatment titled "King of the Kalahari" which Roger Allers, Don Hahn, Rob Minkoff, Kirk Wise, Gary Trousdale, and many others turned into a movie. So, you can say Thomas Disch came up or "discovered" the idea which would become The Lion King.

How did simba got called to the adventure the lion king?
To know what inspired Mufasa is to know what inspired The Lion King. The filmmakers stated William Shakespeare's Hamlet and Bambi among sources inspired The Lion King.
King Hamlet, the deceased father of Prince Hamlet, could have inspired Mufasa as both characters were both killed by their envious brothers, and gave their sons a visit as a ghost. Bambi's mother could have inspired Mufasa as both taught their sons the ways of their natural habitat, and were killed by the film's antagonist. Also, an emotional sequence follows their deaths with their child trying to reunite with them, and find out that they have passed on. Finally, the characteristics of a good leader such as having strong leadership and wisdom possibly could have inspired his character.
