That's correct too - but more people would know/connect with Hamlet. Just take a very short think.
Kimba --> Simba.

But then, it's rather common knowledge that Disney has been ripping off stories since they came into the world.

Which of course, when I found out at.... 12... was a great shock to me.

That is true. All of the well known "Disney" classics originated as other people's stories:

Winnie the Pooh
Aladdin
Cinderella
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Beauty and the beast
etc. etc.

I have a neighbour named Simba.
True story, no joke. 🙂
I'm Serious. 😐

and Lion King II is based on Romeo and Juliet.

(Also to all the people talking about rip offs, most stories are takes on earlier stories, some of the biggest blockbusters are the same- Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones...etc (anything Lucas was involved with really))

Did you know, a boy killed himself by hanging himself because he wanted to come back reincarnated as Simba, think he was like eight years old.

Ban ALL films.
