Shakespeare Play Disney Ripped Off: Hamlet
Reasoning: This one is obvious. The young hero Simba's father is murdered by the uncle and the kingdom is in jeopardy because of it. It then takes a spiritual and physical journey for Simba to convince himself of the evil uncle and how he needs to fight back.
Some people might point out that that is just a very very loose story that was stolen and that there are numerous differences between the two... but then I bring up these facts:
- Remember when Nala murdered herself by walking into that lake?
- Remember at the end when Timon and Pumba are seen hanging from a ship's mast?
- That whole scene in Lion King where the player Zebras come and act out how Scar killed Mufasa.
- All the backstabbing poisoning at the end of the movie?
- Remember how Fortinbras the Flamingo actually becomes the king?
A lot of similarities between the two. Disney ripped it off.
thx! i`m gonna use u as a sourse! =)
ReplyDeletewhen did all the things that you say that happened in TLK? I don't remember any of that (nala kills herself , etc). Is that something that comes in TLK's book and not in the movie or what?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about that as well. The Disney movie had non of the aforementioned facts.
DeleteYou forgot when Zazu hides behind a canopy tree and Simba accidentally stabs him with a tusk he found in the elephant graveyard
ReplyDeleteSorry that was lengthy, but needed to be added
i don't think you watched the same lion king as the rest of us...
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell are you talking about?! no ships, suicides, zazu-stabbings happened in the lion king...
