I think it was just mere coincidence. Remember, TLK was based more off of Shakespeare's Hamlet. |

I love the lion king, but there is something about Kimba I just like. Wolf, mabey you're right. Coincidence probobly. (mabey too much...):! |

The web site kimbawlion.com has a section of this. It has tons of info on this topic and picture simalarities, too. Kimba was made first, so TLK copied and didn't copy Kimba. I own a tape of Kimba, and it's VERY similar to The Lion King, which I've seen several times. |

it is a proven fact that simba was based off of kimba...though the japanese animators have not sued them (smart on there part cause who really wants to take down ndisney?) it is well known that disney ripped them off...another interesting fact is that Matthew Broderick (voice of adult simba) originally thought he was auditioning for the american re-mnake of kimba.... |

the real king is SIMBA definately!!Even if tlk is a real copy it is still better!!if you want to talk about this with kimba fans go to www.50yearsofkimba.com and go to the message board section-i am called simba there- |
||
|
||
|
Kimba don't look like Simba at all!
|
||
|
||
|
I disagree with TLK being based on Kimba... |
||
|
||
|
I have never heard of Kimba. Can someone tell me about him? |
||
|

it's most likely that lion king was partly copied from kimba. i don't know if any of you know this but disney were the ones that teamed up with the makers of kimba for colouring and stuff. then they started on simba. disney stopped the release of kimba the white lion (apparently) to make and release simba then kimba apparently came out not long after. if this is true then lion king must be a copy. also in kimba there is a one eyed black maned lion, a baboon, a girl and boy lion (everyone should know who these two are), a warthog, a meerkat (or two), hyenas and an evil aunt who tries to kill kimba. have a look at this page http://members.jcom.home.ne.jp/y-asada/leo2.html sorry for going on and sounding like a know-it-all but i was just trying to show what i think!

I've never seen Kimba, I'd like to though it sounds like everyone likes it |
||
|
||
|
Kimba's ok but The Lion King is better.
|
||
|

don't forget: Kimba's evil uncle Claw...had a missing eye, supposedly the same eye Scar has the scar over...plus they had the same colouring. And, when Simba is uncoloured, he is almost identical to Kimba... there are also several scenes which match up almost identically with The Lion King. and one final piece of trivia: before TLK was released, Roy Disney (if you don't know who he is you should be shot) said in an interview about mothers: ' Wait until you see next summer's "The Lion King," and Kimba's mother. She's quite lovely.' there are other points of similarity, but the name cannot be used as a point, as Tezuka took the name from the spanish word for lion, and changed one letter. TLK didn't change that letter, so it stayed as simba...apparently...

Hmm,ive never seen Kimba,id never heard if it since i came here cant be that popular,but from the looks and sounds
of it, TLK looks better
|
||
|

Well, if what h-r_hybrid says is true, then wouldn't Disney and the Kimba-makers be sort of friends? Maybe the Lion King was partially made as a little thank you gift or something.

simba is better...but kimba and simba seem almost exactly the same...hmmmmmmm....SIMBA,DUH!!! |
||
|
||
|
One word: Hamlet. All right, there are a few similarities with the whole dangling-from-a-cliff-while-an-evil-relative-stands-over-him thing.... |
||

Kimba doesn't have a meaning in african, but simba does, which means lion. So that's a difference. Also, one was anime version in1980's but the other wasn't. One was a tv series, and the other doesn't. sounds different doesn't it? But I still like Kimba Just Like Simba. Good article though! |
