who's the true king?

kimba :



who's the real king of the jungle? some say kimba, some say simba. some say disney copied, some say disney got inspiration. its time to settle this big mystery!

lets go over the facts shall we?
kimba ws created in 1966
lion king in 1994
(clearly kimba was made first)
kimba's mothe and father die in the series
simba's dad dies
(hmm...kinda of the same, but both kimba's parants die instead of one)
stampede in kimba
stampede in lion king
( looks like we got another similarity)
father appears in the sky in kimba
(sound familliar?)
kimba becomes a herbivore so he cant eat his friends (didnt simba do the same thing?)
the next thing im about to say might shock most of you : simba was WHITE in his originak character design!!!
so whos the real king? you decide....

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

I like both.

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....

Kiara_fan, July 18, 2006 at 01: 11 Member

KayaLioness, August 07, 2006 at 18: 34

Who cares? Great movies=Great fun Like Yonaka said, though, TLK is more Hamlet.

that's odd xD hmm..Wow, really messes up your opinions on stuff, eh?

noyana, October 21, 2006 at 21: 30 Member

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-

theinnocentwolfe, December 04, 2006 at 02: 15 Member

Kimba don't look like Simba at all!

theinnocentwolfe, December 04, 2006 at 02: 15 Member

I disagree with TLK being based on Kimba...

Fifi, April 02, 2007 at 21: 40 Member

I have never heard of Kimba. Can someone tell me about him?

h-r_hybrid, April 07, 2007 at 09: 15 Member

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

Bluewolf!, April 11, 2007 at 17: 55 Member

Kimba's ok but The Lion King is better.

obitpoh, April 30, 2007 at 10: 29 Member

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...

simba

Queen_TaniC@T, August 30, 2007 at 19: 59 Member

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

Skygirl, December 17, 2007 at 04: 30 Member

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.

tanabitopfan, May 21, 2008 at 03: 02 Member

simba WHITE well still simbas better because kimbas too kawaii

Lionstar, May 31, 2008 at 18: 36 Member

Kimba

shenzisimba6, June 06, 2008 at 21: 18 Member

simba is better...but kimba and simba seem almost exactly the same...hmmmmmmm....SIMBA,DUH!!!

Flurrin, June 18, 2008 at 22: 00 Member

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....

Dakota The Black Wolf, June 27, 2008 at 05: 30 Member

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!
