The philosophy between Simba and Hamlet

The Disney cartoon movie Lion King is one of the most successful films in the animation movie history. I think Simba is pretty much like “Hamlet” in the animal kingdom. He is the only son of the King, and his uncle killed Simba’s father and put the bad result to Simba. He ran away forms the Lion Kingsland. He had been despaired of his life, but he made couple of good friends and Nala (female Lion who loves Simba). They rescued and helped Simba to revenge the enemies. The storyline is very similar with Hamlet, however, the philosophy is totally different with Hamlet. Shakespeare put more effect on Hamlet than Disney. Hamlet has more sophisticate features; he is a prince with the black clothes, twisted character and hysterical speech. The famous speech of Hamlet is “to be or not to be.” Obviously, he is obsessed by revenge. It is the main point that made the tragedy. The dark reality expressed the conflict of the inner human being. The revenge can not make the happiness. On the contrary, in the animal world, Simba is a positive, energetic, and growing lion prince. The one quote from Simba, which I like the best, is “As long as you live here, it's who you are. You'll understand someday.” Different attitude makes difference consequences.
