ENG 112 (DE): Cinderella has many versions starting from 1630's....

One film adaptation that comes to mind is one that a lot of people fail to realize actually is a film adaptation of literature. This movie is Disney's The Lion King. A lot of people fail to realize that this movie was actually based on the Shakespearean tragedy Hamlet. This movie holds near and dear to me because it made the Shakespearean language of Hamlet more understandable when I read it for the first time. When I had this epiphany pertaining to The Lion King's direct coorelation to Hamlet, it filled in a lot of the blanks that the Shakespearean dialect created when reading Hamlet as an eighth grader.
