SCOPE
Box Office Mojo's Musical genre, including animation, live action and CGI. Michael and Bohemian Rhapsody are labelled Music rather than Musical by this source and are excluded; broader music-film lists can differ. Concert films are excluded. Candidate list screened, then title pages checked directly. The Lion King (1994) and The Lion King (2019) are separate films, not a franchise total. Jungle Book (2016) combines live action and CGI. Data and budgets can be revised.

All Releases title totals include reported re-releases; some original-release pages display smaller figures. No soundtrack, streaming, television, home-video or merchandise revenue is included. The $45M versus $260M Lion King budget comparison uses nominal figures from different years, not inflation-adjusted costs.
