Hey BigMan. It's good to see you improving in your writing abilities. I think this may be one of your best reviews to date. It's clear, it's got an interesting intro, a great concluding line, and you've worked out the kinks in all but a few places, so small they aren't even worth mentioning.

One thing that I did want to point out is that while The Lion King may seem to take its inspiration from Hamlet (and may very well do so), the majority of its inspiration is taken from a Hayao Miyazaki (creator of Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Howl's Moving Castle, etc etc etc) animated show called "Kimba the White Lion" about a lion cub who is deposed and has to try and return to his ruling right.

You're right. Miyazaki worked on it, though.

OK, factual inaccuracies ironed out I hope. Cheers Janus and zippy!
