Although it is not directly based on Hamlet, The Lion King shares similar themes with the play as well as Shakespeare’s Henry VI Part 1 and 2. It is considered one of the greatest animated movies of all time. The unforgettable Oscar-winning soundtrack hosts a score composed by Hans Zimmer and songs written by Elton John and Tim Rice.
