The Coup, The Lion King (1994)
Screenplay by: Irene Mecchi, Jonathan Roberts, and Linda Woolverton
The Lion King is a magnificent reminder of how well some stories are told over the ages. In fact, as timeless as it is, the original feature has a story that’s inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet, with the coup being a lot less subtle in the Disney tale.
In this story about a stolen kingdom, this family film depicts murder and subterfuge to show the audience how Simba was wronged by Scar, and that he is the one true king of the Pridelands. What he’ll do about it, though, remains to be seen after he becomes an exile.
