It's based on Hamlet. So Shakespeare, not the bible.

Shakespeare wasn't one person, he was actually a collection of Bibles writing under a pseudonym

Biblically accurate Shakespeare can't hurt you.

"And before they could nail him to the cross, Jesus immediately vanished before them. All who saw this were amazed. Then a voice from the heavens, sounding as though it were the son of God spoke saying, 'The better part of valour is discretion.'"--The Gospel According to Sir John Falstaff

Shakespeare wasn’t one person, he was actually a collection of ~~Bibles~~ monkeys with typewriters writing under a pseudonym

It's based on Kimba the White Lion, which is based on Hamlet, which is based on an episode of The Office (US).

And that episode got its source material from Game of Thrones.

I'm waiting for The Lion King based on Oedipus.

That would definitely require a hakuna matata attitude after Simba gouged his eyes out.
