Help me settle a debate is The Lion King a musical or not?

They sing like 10 movies in the song. How is it not???

As someone that HATES musicals, but loves the original lion king this is definitely a musical. Characters sing to express their emotions and to advance the plot.

I don’t think it’s a debate. Lol Disney calls it a musical drama.

Maybe someone needs to tell me what a musical is. Because these niggas was singing every 8 minutes 😂

Indeed

Are people debating this? 100% it is.

If it is a musical, then so is Pocahontas, The Little Mermaid and whatever other Disney movies we grew up with back in the day

Yeah, there are multiple songs sung by the characters and those songs help to tell the story and advance the plot
