Lion King WWII reference
Disney films are intended for children and, for the most part, take place in made-up worlds, so tragic events from the real world are rarely included in the plots. But, of course, that is how we all prefer it to be. Disney movies, after all, are supposed to make us laugh and feel good. However, now and then, a subtle reference to current events can be found.
As illustrated in The Lion King, Scar delivers a speech to his hyena soldiers. The visuals around him bear many parallels to the Nazi Germany that existed during World War II.
