I remember EVERYONE saying that this was a ripoff/adaptation of MacBeth. I did not see any actual similarities. There's no prophecy, no Lady MacBeth (Nala CLEARLY isn't her), the witches and hyenas have nothing in common other than that they are trios, no Timon or Pumba characters, MacBeth's 'royal ghosts' are haunting: not supportive, Skar is just 'Disney Evil' from the start: MacBeth has a more gradual and severe decent into madness, MacDuff and Simba have almost nothing in common. King Duncan and Mufasa are kind kings that get backstabbed; but Duncan respected and honorably awarded MacBeth, while Mufasa was aware that Skar was a potential threat since the beginning.

Any thoughts?
