      Storyline

      Did you know

      • Trivia
        While "The Lion King" is inspired by "Hamlet," this film clearly takes inspiration from the play "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead," which features the events of "Hamlet" through the eyes of two minor characters.
      • Goofs
        During the entire film, Rafiki appears to be Timon's mentor, yet in the first Lion King film---when Rafiki says what happened to Simba--Timon asks, "Who's the monkey?" However, Timon doesn't know Rafikis name and that's probably why he said "who's the monkey." Not because he doesn't know him at all.
      • Quotes
        • Mom: Everything the light touches... . belongs to someone else.
      • Crazy credits
        The first few credits "fall apart."
      • Alternate versions
        The French track on the DVD plays (in English) "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" during the end credits instead of "Grazing in the Grass" performed by Raven and "That's All I Need Reprise" performed by Timon.
