With a remake of ‘The Lion King’ by Jon Favreau on the way, this is the perfect time to acquaint yourself with or refresh your memory about the film that has been considered to be of cultural, aesthetic, and historical significance. To top it off, it gave us the catchphrase ‘Hakuna Matata’, meaning no worries. There is jealousy, love, fear, friendship, – ‘The Lion King’ encompasses them all. However, ‘The Lion King’ does not shy away from emotions, from the grandiose nature of being king to the loss of one’s father and subsequent innocence. Obviously, there are certain differences from ‘Hamlet’, since the target audience for ‘The Lion King’ might not have appreciated the darkness in one of Shakespeare’s finest works.
