something i've been wondering.....

[SHATOUSHKA]

i dunno if anyone here can answer this...

but a few years ago i purchased an anime
classic 'kimba: the white lion'... and have
noticed OBVIOUS similarities between this
movie and the 'lion king'.....

for example:

1) kimba/simba -- both born heir to 'throne'

2) both movies have a drought

3) kimba's mother dies and returns as a
vision in the clouds.... / simba's father
dies and returns as a vision in the clouds

4) kimba/simba save the whole country from
tyranny and death


i tried finding some info on the internet,
and naturally i can't find any....

so, if anyone has seen both of these movies, let me know what you think.... [img]confused.gif[/img]

hmmm, bad bad disney, they just copied!
And i do remember the name kimba from somewhere, but i'm not sure if i actually saw the whole anime.

look familiar??

anyways... this apparently was from a eastern
re-release (not the version i have) back in '97.

here are some screen captures from the movie i have:

CLICK!

and here's the link to the site with all this
wonderful kimba jazz.... CLICK


and here is a scan of the movie box from my movie:


*this vhs was released in 1999... from the
original 1966 series*

the particular title in the series that seems
to mimic the 'lion king' was entitled 'go, white lion',
which is the first segment on this vhs.
