1: Disney Plus
The first option of course is Disney+ since it’s a Disney movie. Of course, you will need a subscription to get started with.
Disney Direct-to-Consumer & International is the company in charge of the US subscription streaming service Disney +. This service focuses on movies and TV shows from Walt Disney Studios and Walt Disney Television so you are definitely going to find both the classic and the live-action versions of the movie.
2: Hulu

With Hulu Watch Party, up to 8 users can get access to Hulu (No Ads) and Hulu (No Ads) + Live TV accounts at once. In other words, each person who wants to watch needs their own profile (not account) on one of those higher-tier subscriptions. If a subscriber has a shared account, they can share it with any users as long as each person has created a separate profile.
Simply click the Party symbol on the movie’s detail page and share the link if that applies to your group. Then the synchronised movie and text chat appears.
3: Amazon Prime
Next on the list is Amazon Prime. The classic version of the Lion King is available on Amazon but you will have to wait for the live-action version to appear.
There are lots of cool things about Amazon Prime and one of them is its built-in Watch Party feature. You can choose a username for the text chat and begin watching certain movies by clicking the Watch Party icon, which is located next to the Watchlist button. As long as your friends have Prime subscriptions, you can share an invite link with up to 100 of your friends.
4: YouTube
YouTube is used for more than just watching cute animal videos, music, and movie trailers. The platform also provides a huge selection of free movies that you may watch. There is a good chance you will be able to find The Lion King on YouTube and watch it online without having to pay anything!
