I'd say TLK was maybe one part Hamlet, with a little of Richard III and maybe Henry V mixed in. Scar reminds me a lot more of Richard than Claudius.

Shakespeare would be unable to sue Disney for a variety of very basic reasons. 1) "Hamlet" was published more than 95 years ago, in 1623, and as such is in the public domain. The work is now legally uncopyrightable. 2) William Shakespeare of Stratford Upon Avon was not the publisher of "Hamlet", was not paid to write it, did not copyright in any form then available, eg the Stationer's Register so he is not the legal owner of the work. 3) Shakespeare himself would have been sued under current copyright laws when his version of the play was performed or printed because it was less than 95 years from the time that a prior version, believed to be written by Thomas Kyd, was printed. This earlier version is dismissed (as most good evidence is) by Shakespeare "experts" who say that either it doesn't count because it isn't Shakespeare's version or that 'Shakespeare must have had a hand in the earlier version as well.' Everything that was originally printed as "Shakespeare" or "Shake-speare" that they don't like gets labelled "Shakespeare apocrypha". But since this one is the most obvious they say "ur" instead of "earlier". Saying "ur" obfuscates the lameness of dismissing a version that Shakespeare didn't write simply because "Shakespeare is the greatest writer in the universe and Hamlet is his best known work." 4) There are many earlier forms of the story and many later. Oligarchs poisoning each other is apparently a very popular subject for plays performed in front of the 17th century oligarchs. These people were so powerful and narcissistic that we are all still forced to read their long-winded self-flattery 400 years later.

I think the Epic of Gilgamesh, and Indian ancient epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana, already managed to cover psychology and subservient to the themes, that you had described Homer as being the first to do. I agreed, though, that Western literature came to birth with Homer, but the author of the Odyssey and the Iliad clearly got influences from Gilgamesh. Literature, being a mirror to society, does not have a single frontrunner.

They don't really compare to Homer's artistry. The homeric simile is the literary equivalent to the best special effects we have today. Before the Iliad you didn't have literature of this magnitude. Though, interestingly, there are a lot of parallels between the Iliad and Odyssey and the Mahabharata.

@@Ian-yf7uf I don't want to sound like woke genz, but this a Western bias at work. The influence of the Mahabharata are easily seen today and the last thousands of years of its compositions. People doing Yoga everywhere, is an attestation to its importance. The largest temple in the world, carved its scenes in its giant stone. Even the Manhattan Project manager in the 1940s quoted it when he saw the bomb. That the best sfx for you. As for Gigamesh, without Gigamesh, Homer would not be Homer. The Greeks grew as a civilization after the bronze age collapse and those ancient cities being gone. There are plenty of traces left over from the Near East epic. Who knew how many more came from that? H

Thank you! You are one of very few people I have heard NOT looking at “Hamlet” as a romanticized story of a hero’s journey. We cannot believe what Hamlet says when he says dead people cannot come back after he has just seen his dead father; also, he never succeeds in his quest! This is the most important difference from “Lion King”. Spot on analysis in very few minutes!

Depends which country you are in, it seems. In America the whole of a century is considered the hundreds of the century. For example, 1800 to 1899 would be the 1800's in America. In the UK only 1800 to 1809 is the 1800's and after that we say "19th century". I don't know about how I other countries refer to centuries.

@@angr3819 that doesn't sound right. Saying "the 18th century" and "the 1800s" are two completely different things. It is "the 1800s" and "the nineteenth century" at the same time, they are interchangeable. Saying "the 1800s" is just reading the number, which is accurate. Saying "the nineteenth century" is also accurate because if we count backwards "the first century" would have technically started at year 0 and ended in the year 99 meaning "the second century" would start at 100, rather than 200 and so on. The decade after 1809 would be referred to as the 1810s and the nineteenth century interchangeably

FUN FACT. Osamu Tezuka's son disagrees with the Kimba controversy. He doesn't believe any intellectual theft occured, and prefers people not weaponize his father's work for this purpose. Do you think it's because, unlike most people who believe TLK ripped off Kimba, he actually saw his father work and knows that it completely different? Seriously dude, if you can find differences between the father apparition scenes, which serve the same narrative purpose in both TLK and Hamlet, how can you possibly claim Kimba Is ANYTHING like TLK?
