So, because the Lion King is getting a new TV series and Beauty and the Beast isn´t, Beauty and the Beast hasn´t resisted the test of time and the Lion King has?

If we go by that criteria, Snow White and Pinnochio, who haven´t had any sequels or their own TV series haven´t resisted the test of time have they? No, they haven´t. But we know that´s just not true. Snow White is the movie that comes to mind when we think about Disney and Pinnochio is considered by a large majority to be Disney´s best production since they began. We can say the same about Alladin when their TV series began, right? Since they had a TV series and the Lion King didn´t, we can say Alladin had more impact and resist the test of time, right? No. If there´s something your criteria does is reverse itself. The fact Beauty and the Beast and Alladin aren´t getting any new adaptions (they will in the future with the new live action series of course) is a testament to how they don´t need those to resist the test of time, because really... You can say Mulan, Hercules and Pocahontas didn´t have much success (by Disney standards), you can say Hunchback of Notre Dame and Tarzan have been forgotten (I would argue with that) but you just can´t say Beauty and the Beast and Alladin have too. Those two movies have endured the test of time just as much as the Little Mermaid and the Lion King have. They all introduced us to one of the Disney Princesses we now call "timeless", they all gave us memorable antagonists, they all had their share of commerical success, praise and awards. Alladin might fall a bit but I think Beauty and the Beast is just as timeless as you can get. Disney wouldn´t be Disney without Jafar or Belle.
