Timon and Pumba game

Does our generation even know who Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are? Maybe those who are familiar with the original Hamlet would perhaps identify these two characters. But what about Timon and Pumba? These jungle animals are as iconic as Wall-E, Nemo, or any contemporary Disney character. What about a game that parables The Lion King to Hamlet explicitly? Remember the montage in The Lion King in which Timon and Pumba train Simba over the years? The span of what seems to be 5-10 years is cut to a 3 minute song entitled "Oh I just can't wait to be king!". The other vast majority of time training is left to our imaginations. Well what can we do to fill in the blanks? My idea, simply put, is to create a video game featuring some of the training techniques Timon and Pumba used to make Simba a strong, ferocious lion who is able to defeat and conquer Scar, his evil uncle.
