[Easy-E]

The father of Akeem was played by James Earl Jones
The Father of Simba, Mufasa, was played by James Earl Jones


The mother of Akeem was played Madge Sinclair
The mother of Simba was played by.... you guessed it... Madge Sinclair

Let's talk about Paramount and Eddie Murphy stealing Coming to America...getting sued....and LOSING.

The only similarity is that James Earl Jones and Madge Sinclair were also the voice actors for Mufasa and Sarabi, Simba's parents.

Lion King had its whole story drawn from Jungle Emperor Leo

"Simba went to a different village to learn about himself"

You're reaching. The Lion King borrows heavily from Hamlet.

A prince gets pushed out of his birthright by his jealous uncle who marries his brother's/the king's wife after murdering him, only for the lost prince to return and reclaim the throne.

It's Hamlet.

Sarabi wasn't fukking scar tho......right?

 

[hatechall]

That's wild, I had no clue the king and queen from Coming To America were the voices of mufasa and simba

That's kinda dope

Dope indeed.

I didn't know that either.
