So why was the title of the puzzle "Title Role"? What does "title" have to do with anything (other than movies are identified by titles).
I saw CARRIE and thought Sissy Spacek but the rest made it obvious that we were going for The Lion King but it was somewhat confusing as only SIMBA was a title role. Why was the puzzle called "title role"?
"Title" can refer to royal title, e.g. King, Queen, Prince. So KING being a royal title, it works on that level. Also ties in with the coronation happening that weekend, I.e. Prince Charles getting his new title.
