It is the 32nt animatit featur in the Disney animatit featur film. The story taks place in a kinrick o lions in Africae, an wis influenced bi William Shakespeare's Hamlet. The film wis produced in a period kent as the Disney Renaissance. The Lion King wis directit bi Roger Allers an Rob Minkoff, produced bi Don Hahn, an haes a screenplay creditit tae Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts, an Linda Woolverton.

Plot
In the Pride Lands o Africae, a lion rules ower the ainimal kinrick frae Pride Rock. Keeng Mufasa's newborn son, Simba, is presentit tae the assemmled ainimals bi Rafiki, a mandrill wha sers as shaman an advisor. Mufasa shaws young Simba the Pride Lands an explains tae him the responsibilities o keengship an the "circle o life" that connecks aw leevins. Mufasa's younger brither, Scar, covets the throne an plots tae kill Mufasa an Simba fur that he can become keeng. He tricks Simba an his best freend Nala (that Zazu reveals is trystit till Simba) intae explorin a forbidden elephants' graffyaird, whaur thay are attackit bi three spottit hyenas that are in league wi Scar. Mufasa is alertit tae the danger bi his majordomo, the hornbill Zazu, an rescues the cubs. Tho angry wi Simba, Mufasa forgies him an explains that the great keengs o the past watch ower them frae the nicht sky, frae that he will ane day watch ower Simba.
Scar sets aboot fanklin his brither an neffie, wilin Simba intae a cleuch an haein the hyenas drive a lairge herd o wildebeest intae a startle that will trample him. He informs Mufasa o Simba's danger, kennin that the keeng will rush tae save his son. Mufasa saves Simba but ends up hingin perilously frae the cleuch edge an is begowkit bi Scar, wha sends him fawin tae his daith. Scar gous ower Simba that the tragedy wis Simba's ain faut an advises him tae flee the kinrick. He orders the hyenas tae kill the cub, but Simba escapes. Scar tells the pride that baith Mufasa an Simba wis killt in the startle an staps forrit as the new keeng, allouin a lairge pack o hyenas tae bide in the Pride Lands.
Simba foonders in a desert an is rescued bi Timon and Pumbaa, a meerkat an wartgaut that is fellae ootcasts. Simba growes up in the jungle wi his twa new freends, leevin a lilty life unner the slogan "hakuna matata" ("nae wirries" in Swahili). Nou an adult, Simba rescues Timon an Pumbaa frae a hungry lioness wha turns oot tae be Nala. She an Simba souder an faw in luve, an she eggles him tae return hame, tellin him the Pride Lands haes become a drocht-stricken waste unner Scar's reign. Feelin guilty ower his faither's daith, Simba refuises an rins aff. Simba encoonters Rafiki, that tells him that Mufasa' speerit leeves on in Simba. Simba is then veesitit bi the ghaist o Mufasa in the nicht sky, that tells him he maun claim his richtfu place as keeng. Realisin he canna rin ony mair frae his past, Simba chuises tae return hame.
Aidit bi his freends, Simba sneaks past the hyenas at Pride Rock an confronts Scar. Scar taunts him ower his role in Mufasa's daith an forces him tae the rock edge, whaur he reveals tae Simba that he murthert Mufasa. Hyte as he wis, Simba pins Scar tae the grund an forces him tae reveal the trowth tae the rest o the pride. Timon, Pumbaa, Rafiki, Zazu, an the lionesses fend aff the hyenas while Scar, attemptin tae escape, is cornered bi Simba at the tap o Pride Rock. Scar begs for mercy an attempts tae blame the hyenas for his actions; Simba spares his life but orders him tae leave the Pride Lands fur aye. Scar then attacks his neffie, but Simba manages tae toss him frae the tap o the rock. Scar survives the faw but is killt bi the hyenas, that owerheard him betray them tae Simba. Wi his enemies gane, Simba taks ower the keengship as the rains begin tae faw, restorin life tae the land.
Later, wi Pride Rock restored tae its umwhile glory, Rafiki presents Simba an Nala's newborn cub tae the assemmled ainimals, conteenuin the circle o life.
Development
The idea for The Lion King wis conceived in late 1988 amang a conversation atween Jeffrey Katzenberg, Roy E. Disney an Peter Schneider on a plane tae Europe fur tae promuive Oliver & Company. Amang the conversation, the topic o a story set in Africa cam up, an Katzenberg immediately stendit at the idea. The idea wis then developpit by Walt Disney Feature Animation's vice preses for creative affairs Charlie Fink. Katzenberg decidit tae add elements insnorlin comin o age an daith, an ideas frae personal life experiences, sic as some o his bouts in his roch road in politics, sayin anent the film, "It is a little bit about myself." In November o that year Thomas Disch (author o The Brave Little Toaster) wrote a treatment entitled King of the Kalahari, an efterwart, Linda Woolverton spent a year writin drauchts o the script, that wis titled King of the Beasts an then King of the Jungle. The oreeginal version o the film wis verra different frae the feenal film. The plot wis centred on a battle atween lions an baboons wi Scar bein the leader o the baboons, Rafiki bein a cheetah, an Timon an Pumbaa bein Simba's bairnheid freends. Simba wadnae leave the kinrick aither, but become a "lazy, huggerie, gruesome chairacter" due tae maneepulations frae Scar, sae Simba coud be owerthrawn efter comin o age. By 1990, producer Thomas Schumacher, that haed just completit The Rescuers Down Under, decidit tae yoke the project "acause lions is cuil". Schumacher likened the script for King of the Jungle tae "an animatit National Geographic special".

Oliver & Company director George Scribner wis the initial director o the film, bein later jynt by Roger Allers, that wis the lead story man on Beauty and the Beast in October 1991. Allers brocht wi him Brenda Chapman, that wad become the heid o story. Efterhaund, several o the lead crew members, includin Allers, Scribner, Hahn, Chapman, an production designer Chris Sanders, teuk a trip tae Hell's Gate Naitional Pairk in Kenyae, in order tae study an gain an appreciation o the environment for the film. Efter sax month o story development wark Scribner decidit tae leave the project, as he clashed wi Allers an the producers on thair deceesion tae turn the film intae a muisical, as Scribner's intention wis o makkin a documentary-lik film mair focused on naitural aspects. Rob Minkoff replaced Scribner, an producer Don Hahn jynt the production as Schumacher becam anly an executive producer due tae Disney promuivin him tae Vice Preses o Development for Feature Animation. Hahn foond the script unfocused an lackin a clear theme, an efter estaiblishin the main theme as "leavin bairnheid an facin up tae the realities o the warld", askit fur a final retool. Allers, Minkoff, Chapman an Hahn then rewrit the story atouer twa week o meetins wi directors Kirk Wise an Gary Trousdale, that haed juist feenished Beauty and the Beast. The script an aa haed its teetle chynged frae King of the Jungle tae The Lion King, as the settin wis nae the jungle but the savannah.

The Lion King
Development
The Lion King wis the first Disney ainimatit faitur tae be an oreeginal story, raither than be based on an awreidy existin wirk. The filmmakers haes said that the story o The Lion King wis inspired bi the lifes o Joseph an Moses, frae the Bible, an William Shakespeare's Hamlet. In the simmer o 1992, the team wis jynt by screenwriter Irene Mecchi, wi a seicont screenwriter, Jonathan Roberts, jynin a few month efter. Mecchi an Roberts teuk chairge o the reveesion process, fixin wanreponed emotional issues in the script an addin divert material fur Pumbaa, Timon an the hyenas. Lyricist Tim Rice wirkit close wi the writin team, fleein tae Californie at least ance a month acause his sangs needit tae wirk in the narrative conteenuity. Rice's lyrics—that war rewirkit up tae the production's end—war pinned tae the storybuirds durin development. Rewrites wis frequent, wi animator Andreas Deja sayin that completit scenes wad be deleevered, anly fur the repone tae be that pairts needit tae be reainimatit acause o dialogue chynges.
Casting
The vyce actors wis chuisen for how thay fit an coud add tae the chairacters—fur instance, James Earl Jones wis cast acause the directors foond his vyce "pouerfu" an seemilar tae a lion's roar. Jones commentit that throu the years o production, Mufasa "became mair an mair o a gaupie da steid o [a] grand king".
Nathan Lane oreeginally audeetioned for Zazu, an Ernie Sabella, for ane o the hyenas. Upon meetin ilk ither at the recordin studio, the actors, that at the time baith co-starred in Guys and Dolls, wis askit tae record thegither as hyenas. The directors laucht at thair performance an decidit tae cast thaim as Timon an Pumbaa. For the hyenas, the oreeginal intention wis tae reunite Cheech & Chong, but while Cheech Marin acceptit tae play Banzai, Tommy Chong wisnae available. Sicweys his role wis changed intae a female hyena, Shenzi, that wis vyced bi Whoopi Goldberg.

The touer is offeecially kent as Elizabeth Tower, renamed tae celebrate the Diamond Jubilee o Elizabeth II in 2012; previously, it wis kent simply as the Clock Tower.
The Lion King
Casting
Matthew Broderick wis cast as adult Simba early in production, an in the three years o vyce actin anly recordit wi anither actor ance, an anly diskivered Moira Kelly vyced Nala at the premiere. Jeremy Irons haed at first refuised the role due tae no bein feel gaun frae the dramatic performance as Claus von Bülow in Reversal of Fortune tae a comedic role. But ance he came in, Irons' performance even inspired the writers tae incorporate mair o his actin as von Bülow—addin ane o that chairacter's lines, "Ye hae nae idea"—an animator Andreas Deja tae watch baith Reversal of Fortune an Damage tae pick up Irons's facial traits an tics.
Animation
The development o The Lion King coincided with that o Pocahontas, that maist o the animators o Walt Disney Feature Animation decidit tae wirk on insteid, believin it wad be the mair prestigious an sonsie o the twa. The story artists forby didnae hae muckle faith in the project, wi Chapman declarin she wis laith tae accept the job "acause the story wisna verra guid", an writer Burny Mattinson saying tae co-wirker Joe Ranft "A dinnae ken wha is gaunae want tae watch that ane." Most o the leadin animators aither war daein thair first major wirk supervisin a chiaracter, or haed muckle interest in ainimatin an ainimal. Thirteen o thir owerseein animators, baith in California an Florida, wis responsible for establishin the personalities an settin the tone for the film's main chairacters. The ainimation leads for the main chairacters includit Mark Henn on young Simba, Ruben A. Aquino on adult Simba, Andreas Deja on Scar, Aaron Blaise on young Nala, Anthony DeRosa on adult Nala, an Tony Fucile on Mufasa. Naur 20 meenit o the film, includin the "A jist Cannae Wait tae Be King" sequence, wis ainimate at the Disney-MGM Studios facility. Mair nor 600 artists, ainimators, an technicians contreibutit tae The Lion King. Weeks afore the film wis tae be released, 1994 Northridge yirdquauk shut doun the studio an required the animators tae finish thair wirk frae hame.

The chairacter ainimators studied real-life ainimals for reference, as wis duin for the 1942 Disney film Bambi. Jim Fowler, weel-kent wildlife expert, veesitit the studios on several occasions wi a omnie-gaitherum o lions an ither savannah indwallers tae commune anent behaviour an help the animators gie thair drawins authenticity. The animators forby studied ainimal muivements at the Miami MetroZoo unner guidance frae wildlife expert Ron Magill. The Pride Lands is modeled efter the Kenyan naitional pairk veesitit bi the crew. Varied focal lenths an lenses wis employed tae differ frae the habitual portrayal o Africae in documentaries—that employ telephoto lenses tae film the wildlife frae a distance. The epic feel drew inspiration frae concept studies bi airtist Hans Bacher — whilk, follaein Scribner's request for realism, tried tae depaint eftercomes lik lens flare — an the wirks o penters Charles Marion Russell, Frederic Remington an Maxfield Parrish. Acause the chairacters wisnae anthropomorphised, aw the ainimators haed tae learn tae draw fower-leggit ainimals, an the story an chairacter development wis filmed throu uise o langer shots follaein the chairacters.
Computers helpit the filmmakkers tae present thair veesion in new ways. Fur the "wildebeest startle" sequence, several sindry wildebeest chairacters wis creatit in a 3D computer program, multiplied intae hunders, cel shadit fur tae leuk lik drawn animation, an gien randomised paths doun a moontainside tae seemulate the real, wanpredeectable muivement o a herd. Five speicially trained ainimators an technicians spent mair nor twa year creautin the twa-and-a-hauf-meenit startle. The CAPS helpit tae seemulate camra muivements sic as trackin shots, an wis employed in colourin, lichtin, an pairticle effects.
Music
Lyricist Tim Rice, that wis wirkin wi componer Alan Menken on sangs for Aladdin, wis invitit tae write the sangs, an accepit on the condeetion o finnin a componin pairtner. As Menken wisnae available, the producers accepit Rice's suggestion o Elton John, efter Rice's invitation o ABBA fell throu due tae Benny Andersson bein busy wi the musical Kristina från Duvemåla. John expressed an interest in writin "ultra-pop songs that weans wad like; then bodies-muckle can awa an see thae films an get jist sae muckle pleisur oot o thaim", mentionin a possible hank fae The Jungle Book, whaur he felt the "muisic wis sae funny an chairmt weans an bodies-muckle".

John an Rice wrote five oreeginal sangs for the film ("Circle of Life", "I Just Can't Wait to Be King", "Be Prepared", "Hakuna Matata", an "Can You Feel the Love Tonight") wi John's performance o "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" playin ower the end credits. The IMAX an DVD releases addit anither sang, "The Morning Report", based on a sang discairdit durin development that eventually featurt in the live muisical version o The Lion King. The score wis componed bi Hans Zimmer, that wis hired based on his wirk in twa films in African settings, The Power of One an A World Apart, an supplementit the score wi tradeetional African muisic an choir elements arranged bi Lebo M. Zimmer's partners Mark Mancina an Jay Rifkin helped wi arrangements an song production.
The Lion King oreeginal motion picture soundtrack wis released by Walt Disney Records on Julie 13, 1994. It wis the fowert-best-selling album o the year on the Billboard 200 an the top-selling soundtrack. It is the anly soundtrack for an animated film tae be certified Diamond (10× platinum) bi the Recording Industry Association of America. Zimmer's complete instrumental score for the film wis never oreeginally gien a full release by Disney, until the soundtrack's commemorative 20t anniversary re-release in 2014. The Lion King an aa inspired the 1995 release Rhythm of the Pride Lands, wi aicht songs by Zimmer, Mancina, an Lebo M.
The uise o the song "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" in a scene wi Timon an Pumbaa led tae disputes atween Disney an the faimily o South African Solomon Linda, that componed the song (oreeginally titled "Mbube") in 1939. In Julie 2004, Linda's filed suit, seeking $1.6 million in royalties frae Disney. In Februar 2006, Linda's heirs reached a legal dounset wi Abilene Music, that held the warldwide richts an haed licensed the sang tae Disney for an undisclosed amunt o money.

The trailer wis released in November 1993, accompanyin The Three Musketeers in theatres, as anly a third o The Lion King haed been completit.

Rolling Stone film creetic Peter Travers praised the film an felt that it wis "a hugely entertaining blend of music, fun and eye-popping thrills, though it doesn't lack for heart". James Berardinelli frae ReelViews praised the film saying, "With each new animated release, Disney seems to be expanding its already-broad horizons a little more. The Lion King is the most mature (in more than one sense) of these films, and there clearly has been a conscious effort to please adults as much as children. Happily, for those of us who generally stay far away from 'cartoons', they have succeeded."
Some reviewers still haed problems wi the film's narrative. The staff o TV Guide wrote that while The Lion King wis technically proficient an enterteenin, it "offers a less memorable song score than did the previous hits, and a hasty, unsatisfying dramatic resolution." The New Yorker's Terrence Rafferty considered that despite the guid ainimation, the story felt lik "manipulat[ing] our responses at will", as "Between traumas, the movie serves up soothingly banal musical numbers and silly, rambunctious comedy".
