Plenty of Disney (and William Shakespeare) fans know that The Lion King is an adaptation of Hamlet. More accurately, it's an extremely, extremely loose adaptation of Hamlet. Even more accurately, it's a mostly original story which happens to borrow two scenes and its basic setup from Hamlet, and that's fine; a faithful adaptation of the play would probably be inappropriate - not to mention too cerebral - for most modern youngsters. What's interesting about the remake is that when Chiwetel Ejiofor played Scar (a character loosely modeled on King Claudius from Hamlet) he was actually channeling the title character from Macbeth.
