Does anyone know what was the original version of
The Lion King was supposed to be? I know that Linda Woolverton was one of the writers on this movie and George Scribner was supposed to direct it with Roger Allers, but what was the original plotline?
Thanks a bunch!

I found some information about the original concept here:

Hope this helps!

That did Wiggles thanks!
God lord, that concentration camp idea was WAY to dark for Disney to do...
It's funny that Woolverton originally had Nala have a little brother and that Timon and Pumbaa were supposed to be childhood friends. The latter I would've loved to see in the final version.
