	timbitzk picked Yes, I did notice that!: When I was taking a "Sneaking Up on Shakespeare" unit in English, my teacher asked "And does anyone know what Disney movie was based on Hamlet?" and I kinda assumed that more people would know, so I just kinda blurted out "The Lion King" in a sort of audible mumble. The entire class just looked at me, and some people laughed. I was the only person in the class who knew. Someone even questioned me, and I said "Uh yeah, and The Lion King 2 was based on Romeo and Juliet.." I got the second one from the other pick on here; didn't get that one on my own. posted sa loob ng isang taon na ang nakalipas.

	Izzey24 picked What?: Yeah I really don't know Hamlets story line. The only Shakespeare I've read is Caesar for Geography (yeah I know, I don't get the conection there ether.) And I know the story for Romeo and Juliet, but I've never really heard the story behind Hamlet... :/ posted sa loob ng isang taon na ang nakalipas.

	KevinKlinelover picked Yes, I did notice that!: One Day, my Drama Teacher Mr. Stedille said that The Lion King is based on Hamlet. and so that is the other reason why I love The Lion King so much. My best pal Aly said that she loves The Lion King. I am not a big Fan of That movie but I loved it. posted sa loob ng isang taon na ang nakalipas.
