There's book sequels but only the first book is included here
There's also some comics that came out of the movie but I've chosen to just focus on the book vs the film for this poll

The musical is available for licensing, though restrictions apply in some countries. There is also a full cast recording, and there is a bootleg video of the Broadway production still up on YouTube

Further notes:
The Lion King may be modeled on Hamlet but its enough its really its own thing so the play is not being taken as the "original" work here
The tv cartoons aren't on the poll because as far as I know they're more sequels than adaptations
The stage musical is still on Broadway

It looks like the short film also was updated in 1988 but you can consider both versions together
The opera isn't licensable as far as I can tell but it looks like a video recording does exist and there is a DVD (albeit an expensive one), and also there's an audio/soundtrack recording of it as well

There was also a reboot show and some international show remakes but I'm choosing to just focus on the film adaptations here

Applause is available for license and the script for purchase through Concord
I don't think the other stage version is available for license yet, but it does seem like there are pro-shoot recordings that are or at least have been available

There's a couple other adaptations, like a play, that I can't track down much additional info on, and also Wikipedia lists several video games inspired by the book but of the ones I can find more info on they mostly seem to just be inspired by the book and not really adaptations of it

The musical is licensable through Concord and the script is available for standalone purchase. There is also a cast recording
There's also a 1981 film but I'm having trouble finding info about where or if it's available at all, including on an easily findable DVD
