Yeah, it would've weirded me out a lot less, in retrospect, if the Lion King was just...you know...king of the lions. In which case defending their territory against other predators makes a lot more sense all around, and bringing in outside predators for a succession battle does seem like playing unfair. But if you want to be king of all the animals? That doesn't just mean the pretty ones, kids!
I feel you on the music side of things, though. There are at least two songs I love in Hunchback, even though I am full of D: at what they did to the book. (Happy ending? I expected. Singing gargoyles? Fine. Making the most selfish, corrupt douchebag of the whole book into the love interest? D: D: D: D: )
