'''''The Lion King''''' is an animated musical movie produced by the Walt Disney Animation Studio, directed by Roger Allers and Robert Minkoff. It tells the story of a lion cub named Simba, prince of the Pride Lands in Africa, who idolizes his father and king, Mufasa. When a plot hatched by his evil uncle Scar results in tragedy, Simba runs away and is raised by two outcasts. Years later, he must make a decision: to return to his homeland and save it from ruin or turn his back on his kingdom at its darkest hour. It gets its inspiration from [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Hamlet]]'', as well as the stories of [[Joseph]] and [[Moses]] from the [[Bible]].
