Currently watching The Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata!
Has become apparent that, as the original Lion King is based on Hamlet, the Lion King 3 runs parallel with 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead', concentrating on Timon and Pumba, minor characters and aides to Simba much as Ros and Guil were to Hamlet. The story follows their actions, separate from the main story but running alongside, as R&GAD takes place in the wings of Shakespeare's play.
Interesting note that gives strength to concentrating on one element that I am interested in for my dissertation, such as Shakespeare plays to film, a chapter on Appropriation alongside Adaption perhaps.
