Thank you mis.Dina

I wouldn't go so far as to say The Lion King really "based on" Hamlet, as many have said. It doesn't struggle with the same themes, or have the same impact. Rather, it's putting together a lot of fairly universal story elements, as every story does, but not taking all of them, nor taking them solely from that play. It's certainly more than coincidence, but it's not any closer to a retelling of Hamlet than it is to Strange Brew
