THE LION KING (1994)
Yes, this Disney movie contains a murder most foul. Which is fitting for a savannah-set coming-of-age story that was referred to as Bamlet, for its mixing of parental death (Bambi) and dastardly avuncular deeds (Hamlet). But the story of Simba, the lion cub who matures into the King of the Jungle, is a brightly colored fantasia, filled with catchy songs (bet you start humming ''Can You Feel the Love Tonight?''), a cast of memorable characters (Timon and Pumbaa, anyone?), and lasting themes about friendship and identity.
