Simba all the waY!!!!
That Kimba was something like Astroboy, and that cartoon stinks
LOL! Glad to see I'm not the only one
I occasionally see sites putting down TLK for that, and I'm like,"Oh, yeah...they would've known about some show that came on in Japan in the 70's!" :mad: :disagree: :huh:
Most definitely Simba. I don't know that much about Kimba. The only thing I know about him is that he's white and made by Japanese people.

Ah yes, the old Kimba/Simba debate...an oldie, but a goodie.
I'm seen Kimba, and personally, I think Simba is far more superior. Other than that, I don't think much about the entire Kimba/Simba thing anymore...
it's funny...you never really see any sites yelling about the slew of children's movies that rip off of Disney's stuff (mostly because they're small, unpopular movies that you can only find in the Walmart $1 bins)

I know. This topics been around awhile! Dude...them $1 bins used to be my sisters fav. place. She'd but all of these crap movies, and sell them for double the price.
Just a random little tidbit of information... Kimba means dungheap in Swahili.
kimba { English: dungheap }
noun , pl vimba
kimba { English: heap of excrement }
noun , pl vimba

Now make your choice. XD

If you're not here to party, get out of the teacup.
Kimba was originally going to be named Simba, since Leo was deemed to generic a name. But there was word that a soda was coming out called "Simba"....so they decided on Kimba.
TLK may have many simularities with Kimba, but Kimba is based off a true story about an African prince who is exiled after his father, the King, was murdered by his Uncle who took power. The Prince later returned to reclaim his kingdom....and that's all i know...Woot!.....
hmrrr....this Kimba sounds intresting......care to show me the name of the Japanise moive ?
There's quite a bit of Kimba out there. The debate typically centers around the original TV series, which is out as a DVD boxed set. There's also the "sequel" series that was "Leo the White Lion", which came out on DVD more recently (past year, I think), though I don't believe in a boxed set.Originally posted by shadow

"Kimba the Lion Prince" is a Canadian dub of the original series. Something about not having the rights to the audio. And then there's the 1989 remake series, "New Adventures of Kimba the White Lion" (if memory serves), that Pioneer Family supposedly butchered in their edit/dub.
There's a "Symphonic Poem" (think Disney's "Silly Symphonies" or even Fantasia -- all music, no dialogue) based on Kimba that covers what I guess would be akin to an episode or two of the story.
A movie was done back in the...'70s, I think. From what I understand, it was only made available in Japan. More recently, there was a 1997 film, Jungle Emperor Leo (or Jungle Taitei, aka Janguru Taitei), which is available on DVD.
Er, that doesn't sound much like Kimba. Human hunters killed Kimba's father and Claw, the lion that takes over in Kimba's absence, is of no relation to either white lion.Originally posted by lion_roog

I really don't know if Disney copy it or not... I just like TLK and will still like it whether it's a copy or not. And I haven't seen nothing about Kimba, so I don't know if it's that similar or just some coincidences.
[SIZE=huge]It's Hamlet.[/SIZE]
Everyone knows that. And if you don't, you should and you do now. I'm not sure if Kimba copied Hamlet too... I've never seen Kimba. I'm allergic to 16 frame per second 20 cel color animation.
EVERY character in TLK can be mirrored back to a character in Shakespeare's Hamlet. Most all the major scenes are the same too. Only real difference is that there is a lead up to the point where the Hamlet plot starts (at Mufasa's death) and there is a happy ending. TLK is a Disney movie. Hamlet is an epic tragedy. It's a candy coated re-telling of the most celebrated play in the English language! TLK fans should love that. There's a bit of MacBeth tied in as well.
If you have read Hamlet and you are confuzzled, ask me something and I will explain.
What was the point of Kimba? Ya know how many whie lions there are in reality?
There are similarities and I think Disney probably did copy from Kimba some. But h*ll, they copied from Hamlet, too. A lot of great movies, stories, books, are plagerism....we all do it.
I second that. Regarding Kimba vs. Simba however, I think that there are some very strong resembalances, but I dont think Disney would rip off such great work.Originally posted by CheshireCat

I just think Kimba fans are jealous.
