English Summary:

The Lion King is a 1994 American animated musical film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the 32nd Disney animated feature film, and the fifth animated film produced during a period known as the Disney Renaissance. The Lion King was directed by Roger Allers and Rob Minkoff, produced by Don Hahn, and has a screenplay credited to Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts, and Linda Woolverton. Its original songs were written by composer Elton John and lyricist Tim Rice, with a score by Hans Zimmer. The film features an ensemble voice cast that includes Matthew Broderick, James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Moira Kelly, Nathan Lane, Ernie Sabella, Rowan Atkinson, Robert Guillaume, Madge Sinclair, Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin, and Jim Cummings. The story takes place in a kingdom of lions in Africa and was influenced by the Biblical stories of Joseph and Moses, and William Shakespeare's Hamlet.

In the Pride Lands of Africa, a pride of lions rule over the animal kingdom from Pride Rock. King Mufasa's and Queen Sarabi's newborn son, Simba, is presented to the gathering animals by Rafiki the mandrill, the kingdom's shaman and advisor. Mufasa shows Simba the Pride Lands and explains to him the responsibilities of kingship and the "circle of life", which connects all living things. Mufasa's younger brother, Scar, covets the throne and plots to eliminate Mufasa and Simba, so he may become king. He tricks Simba and his best friend Nala (to whom Simba is betrothed) into exploring a forbidden elephants' graveyard, where they are attacked by three spotted hyenas, Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, who are in league with Scar. Mufasa is alerted about the incident by his majordomo, the hornbill Zazu, and rescues the cubs. Though upset with Simba, Mufasa forgives him and explains that the great kings of the past watch over them from the night sky, from which he will one day watch over Simba. 

Hungarian Summary:

Az állatok királyának, Mufasának első fiúgyermekeként Szimba a trónörökös. A dzsungel állatai tisztelettel bánnak a rettegett, de igazságos király gyermekével, így Szimba életének első hónapjai gondtalanul, boldogságban telnek. De nem nézi mindenki jó szemmel a trónörökös érkezését. Szimba gonosz nagybátyja, a hiénákkal szövetkező Zordon régóta feni a fogát a király trónjára, és tudja, hogy ha a kis utód nem áll az útjában, Mufasa halála után az ő fejére kerül majd a korona. Zordon ármánykodásának köszönhetően a kis Szimba életveszélyes helyzetbe kerül: a kiszáradt folyómederben egy megvadult bivalycsorda előtt találja magát, és csak édesapja önfeláldozó bátorságának köszönhetően éli túl a helyzetet. Apja azonban már nem tud kitérni a csorda elől, és Musafát halálra tapossák... Szimba nem maradhat többé szülőhelyén, ahol Zordon azonnal magához ragadja a hatalmat. A kis oroszlán világgá megy, útja során új, vidám és vicces barátokra lel, veszélyes és boldog kalandok várnak rá, és amikor életerős hím oroszlánná érik, elhatározza, hogy bosszút áll apja gyilkosán és visszaszerzi a trónt, hogy apja szellemében ő legyen az új Oroszlánkirály!
