The Lion King has become one of the most beloved movies of the Disney Renaissance as it influenced a generation of young viewers thanks to its unique retelling of William Shakespeare's Hamlet and amazing animation. But with its animation also came some amazing moments, from Simba's growth with Timon and Pumbaa to his rise as king of Pride Rock. That said, like all Disney movies, it's the most tragic moments that have greatly impacted its narrative, and nothing is more tragic in The Lion King than the death of Mufasa by his brother, Scar.
