Nearly all of the big-name Disney movies are stories from someone else. It's not just Lion King.
Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, etc, are based on Grimm's fairy tales
The Little Mermaid is from Hans Christian Andersen; Frozen is ripped off of his "The Snow Queen" as well.
101 Dalmatians, and several movies pertaining to Winnie the Pooh are based on children's books.
Sword in the Stone, Hunchback of Notre Dame, and The Jungle Book are all based on novels of the same name.
Aladdin is from the 1001 Nights; Hercules is from Greco-Roman mythology.
Mulan and Moana are both based on legends from China and Polynesia respectively.
Beauty and the Beast is an old French story by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont (who was uncredited)
....and so on. Disney has some original productions, but the majority of their films are just re-tellings of existing stories.
