It is the 32nd film in the Disney animated feature canon, and the highest-grossing traditionally animated feature film in the United States. It was inspired by the Shakespeare play Hamlet, and the Moses and Joseph stories from the Bible. The film focuses on a young lion in Africa named Simba, who learns of his place in the \"Circle of Life\" while overcoming various obstacles to become the rightful king.

The Lion King is a musical film, with songs written by composer Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice, and a film score by Hans Zimmer. The score and one of its songs, (\"Can You Feel the Love Tonight\", see below) won Academy Awards. Disney later produced two related movies: a sequel, The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, and a part prequel/part midquel, The Lion King 1½.

Story

The Lion King takes place in the fictional Pride Lands of Africa, where a lion rules over the other animals as high king. At the beginning of the film, Rafiki, a wise old mandrill shaman, blesses Simba, the newborn cub of King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi, and presents him to a massive gathering of animals at Pride Rock. Meanwhile, Mufasa's younger brother, Scar, realizes that he is no longer the heir to the throne and plots to kill both Simba and Mufasa in order to usurp it.

A few months later, Mufasa brings Simba on a tour of the Pride Lands, teaching him about the Circle of Life, the delicate balance affecting all living things, which the king must maintain. The tour is cut short when Mufasa's advisor, the hornbill Zazu, alerts him of poaching hyenas in the Pride Lands, and Mufasa sends a disappointed Simba home while he deals with the threat. Back at Pride Rock, Scar piques Simba's curiosity about the elephant graveyard, a place beyond the borders of the Pride Lands, where Mufasa has forbidden Simba to go. Simba takes his friend, Nala, to the elephant graveyard, where the cubs are chased by Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, Scar's spotted hyena minions, only to be rescued by Mufasa.

Mufasa scolds Simba on the walk home, and explains to Simba that being brave doesn't mean looking for trouble. Simba asks if his father will always be with him, Mufasa tells his son that the great kings of the past watch from the stars, just as he will watch over Simba one day. Meanwhile, Scar becomes furious, as he intended for the hyenas to kill the cubs. Plotting further, Scar gathers more hyenas and, in a scene resembling Nazi and Soviet military imagery, buys their loyalty by claiming that if he becomes king, they'll never go hungry again (the \"Be Prepared\" song).
