Sweden's best selling newspaper has denounced Disney's blockbuster animated film The Lion King as fascist propaganda, and has suggested Swedish youth should be shown films of migrant children coming to Europe instead.

Turning the more common idea of the film's villain 'Scar' as a fascistic dictator on its head, Aftonbladet columnist Andrev Walden has re-cast the protagonist child-lion 'Simba' as a fascist folk hero that plays to the narratives of Sweden's nationalist and populist parties.
