I was watching music vids and got to thinking. Balto and TLK are alike in in alot of ways.

1.Balto and Simba both have parents who died.

2.Both Balto and Simba's parent(s) who died came to them(spiritually) in time of need.

3. Simba and Balto both have daughters who are alike in personality.

4. Timon and Pumba--Muk and Luk

5.Rafiki and Boris

6. This may be common in movies but both Balto and Simba meat a girl that they end up falling in love and having children with.

7.Kiara and Aleu claim there is more to them.

'Thats only half of who I am.'-Kiara

'I know what I am but not who I am.'-Aleu

8. Both fathers are protective.

9. Steel--Zira

10. Jenna and Nala are not as up tight as Simba and Balto.

Not only are the movies alike in characters but in plot.(so to say)

I hope you enjoyed reading my artical. :)

Did anyone notice that The Lion King was really similar to that one Japanese anime by Osamu Tezuka called Kimba the White Lion? I liked Balto better, though.:/:

Good article! It is quite alike a agree, but just one thing about bit 2: we don't know their dead? and how can aniu be dead if she is a spirit and is seen in WOlf Quest? But anyway, good article!:p

I do think Kimba was a remake of TLK. Also spirits are no longer living. Thanks all.;)

Cat Wings, June 08, 2006 at 01: 29

Excellent. But the spiritual part, I have to disagree no one really knows if the white wolf was Aniu:P

Kimba was made before TLK came out, Disney basically just re-did the idea with permission of course but since the company that made Kimba had gone out of bussiness they could not sue.

jennawolf, June 08, 2006 at 18: 48 Member

Wow, so much in common:P

kimba, June 09, 2006 at 02: 35 Member

wolfhound, Kimba came out in 1965, and Lion King came out in 1994. Simba is the copy-cat, not Kimba. And DrewTheWolf, Tezuka Productions wasn't out of buisness when Lion King came out. They made one more movie for Kimba called "Jungle Emperor Leo" in 1997. It was the last Kimba production. And I highly doubt they had permission because there were arguments between the two companies. And to make it worse, Disney claimed they never heard of Kimba!

You're not the only one. I knew that for a long time.:icon305: I'm going to put in a crossover fanfic of them both soon.

i haven't noticed that. Good article

shebawolf1, April 28, 2007 at 11: 00 Member

The only thing I disagree on is Aniu as a spirit in B1. To me she looked alive-not a spirit. Where in the movie dose it say she atchually died?. Balto says "I was seperated from her when I was very young"
