So while the Wikipedia page’s intro states, “the story is modelled primarily on William Shakespeare's stage play Hamlet with some influence from the Biblical stories of Joseph and Moses,” here’s what is says in the production section:

So it seems like the reality is The Lion King was developed in a way that led it to contain Hamlet elements, someone recognized those elements and then wanted more added to the story, but it led to a forced concept so they decided to use other story archetypes instead.

Ergo, OP is correct and we can finally beat the Hamlet allegations lmao.

I feel like I'm gonna get some pushback on this but I've never understood why ppl describe The Lion King as Hamlet for kids. Like. It doesn't have the same story as Hamlet?? Have you read Hamlet

I lost my MIND when Milady de Winter confidently strolled into the room to falsely testify against Ninon, and there you have Athos in the background

Stoic, composed Athos, performing as nothing less than a perfect soldier

And the second he hears her voice the façade melts away like candle wax

The acting skill alone !!!

For his mask to just slowly drip from his features and reveal all the layers of emotion left behind. Disbelief, grief, guilt, fear, anger all in a matter of seconds.

That's probably one of the only times Aramis and Porthos ever saw Athos so completely vulnerable to his own emotions, and even still he doesn't tell them the truth afterwards which demonstrates just how much control Milady has over his psyche that he'd almost reveal his darkest truth.

Just !!!!! Will be thinking about that scene for a long time

"Men, we want to look good for other men if that makes sense. We wanna have a fancy suit, big house, fast car... who dies with the most toys wins; and while nice houses and cars are part of that, it also includes the wife and the kids. Toys. A lot of guys out there, maybe they did really fall in love, and maybe they did really want to have kids and whatever the fuck… but deep down... if we're really being honest: Looking like a family man is more important than being one.”

- Sean Penn
