The Lion King

Imagine Hamlet, but with lions. Now you may say, "Well, that's an oddly specific and rather strange concept." Well, Disney liked it, and they made a movie out of it. It follows Lion Hamlet Simba, as his father, Lion King Hamlet Mufasa, is killed by his uncle Lion Claudius Scar. There's no Lion Ophelia, though, because Disney is family-friendly and stuff. And, since it's Disney, all dramatic soliloquies have been replaced with catchy songs. If Shakespeare saw this, he would say "Egads! A moving picture! What is this sorcery?!", followed by "Wait, wasn't I dead?"

75/78

Warning: This movie contains animals killing each other. If you are offended by how nature works, do not watch this film.
