Classics to Disney

Fantasia isn't the only classic that resurfaced through Disney. Shakespeare's story of Hamlet came through in Disney's "The Lion King." For example, the famous character of Hamlet is Simba, Claudius is Scar, and Ophelia is Nala. They have the exact same story line, except the ending in "The Lion King" isn't as tragic. In Hamlet, everyone ends up dying in the end - a typical Shakespeare move. The Lion King pulls a typical Disney move, so I can promise a happy ending. Check it out!
If you have never read Hamlet here is a quick summary!
To those of you who have never seen "The Lion King," it's on youtube!
