In both the Lion King and Hamlet, the characters make comments about how the new king is not near as good a ruler as the previous one. In Hamlet, the comparison is made by the ghost of Hamlet's father when he is talking to Hamlet and also by Hamlet himself during one of his soliloquies. Hamlet contrasts his father and uncle by referring to the former king as Hyperion, and the latter king as a satyr. In the Lion King, the comparison is more obvious as all the plants have died and the animals have left Pride Rock under Scar's rule. In one of the scenes, the lionesses all complain to Scar that there is no food left to hunt because of his bad leadership. Serabi tells Scar that he could never be the king Mufasa was, and Zazu expresses his displeasure by stating that Pride Rock would not have fallen into such depravity under Mufasa’s rule.
