"The Lion King" is one of the most beloved entertainment franchises. Since the original 1994 animated film, it has evolved into a long-running Broadway musical, and most recently, Jon Favreau's hyper-photorealistic remake.

Through these popular productions, "The Lion King" with all its laughter, tears, and catchy tunes has become part of our collective culture. Some of our favorite characters — Simba, Nala, Mufasa, and of course, Pumba and Timon — can be found on everything from T-shirts to backpacks to Simba-printed moccasins for your own little cub.

In honor of these lovable lions, meerkats, and warthogs, we've rounded up 18 gifts that are perfect for the "Lion King" fan in your life.
