The 1994 film "The Lion King" by Disney is a pop culture phenomenon distinguished for its educational value and universal storytelling, often compared to Shakespearean and biblical themes.
Production began in the late 1980s, with the first script emerging in 1990, although it underwent significant changes thereafter. The film was completed by an extensive team of over 600 animators and technicians, who drew inspiration from visits to zoos and national parks in Kenya.
The film's success was solidified by its Oscar-winning music, composed by Hans Zimmer. The soundtrack featured hits like "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" by Elton John, contributing to the movie's global cultural impact.
"The Lion King" also sparked interest in African wildlife and culture, boosting nature programs' popularity.
Although substantial, the accusations of similarities with the Japanese anime "Kimba, the White Lion" did not significantly impact its success.
Despite financial success with later computer-animated films such as "Frozen" and "Zootopia," Disney has faced criticism for modern remakes perceived as lacking original creativity and educational value, diverging from Walt Disney's legacy in storytelling and childhood entertainment.
