How well known is it that the lion king is based on Hamlet?
How well known is it that the lion king is based on Hamlet?
I thought almost everybody knew, but one time I was in secondary school (high school to you Americans) in drama class, and the teacher was mentioning different movies inspired by Shakespeare, so I said "and the Lion King is based on Hamlet" and the teacher said "really?" She didn't know that! I mentioned "both are about princes who are asked by the ghost of their father, the former king, to avenger them against their uncle, the usurper of the throne." So she then looked it up, and was shocked to learn that I was right!
Also, slight clarification: apparently, the lion king wasn't originally based on Hamlet, but some of the people working on it mentioned the similarities to Hamlet and they then changed the movie to make it more like Hamlet.
Did yo know that? Have you ever mentioned it and shocked people?
Again, I thought almost everybody knew.
