Credit goes to Tumblr user marauders4evr for noticing this.

Both movies open with a chanting-like song in a different language.

Frozen's "Frozen Heart" begins with traditional Saami yoiking.

The Lion King's "Circle of Life" kicks off with Zulu.

Then, we meet the royal family.

Including the cute kids.

Of course, there's a horrible family tragedy.

Which makes the hero run away.

Where they then sing a showstopping number about being free.

Elsa belts out "Let It Go"

Simba (and Timon and Pumba) sing "Hakuna Matata"

Not realizing that everything at home is a super bummer.

Because there's a new evil guy who wants to be king.

Who knows exactly how to make the hero feel guilty.

Really guilty.

So the hero has to go back home and deal with the bad guy.

After s/he does, the kingdom returns back to normal.

And they live happily ever after.
