Also, I have never seen Kimba the White Lion (nor can I look it up on wikipedia since I'm using a school computer, and my school blocks wikipedia) so I don't know much about the series except the Tezuka created it and some of the art, names, and characters are very similar to The Lion King. However, as pointed out in many comments above, both Kimba and Lion King were based off of Hamlet. Just because Tezuka made Kimba first doesn't mean that Disney can't use Hamlet, either. And is it illegal to be inspired to create something through something else? Also, I laugh on how some people are insulted as artists because "Walt copied off of Tezuka!" Oh my gosh, you do realize that both men are dead, right? Maybe Disney did copy some of The Lion King's scenes off of Kimba the White Lion, but they there were some things they did for The Lion King that Tezuka didn't (i.e. the artists for the Lion King actually went to Africa to study all the animals there for the movie; tried out different animation techniques; etc). Plus, The Lion King was originally supposed to be based off of the African play, and eventually seeming more like Hamlet. The Lion King is a good movie, and Kimba the White Lion seems like a good series, why are you all arguing about this? P.S. for everyone who is flat-out bashing Kimba The White Lion--have you ever even SEEN the show? I haven't, but I'm not bashing it now, am I? P.P.S. for everyone who is bashing The Lion King, it's Disney, what HAVEN'T they copied off of? You guys are making yourselves sound like fools for tearing down a cartoon.

Two different names, two different cultures and two different story lines. There is nothing wrong with getting a little help of some other movie as long as you don't use all of the same things. The Japanese don't even care we copied it because they would of sued when Kingdom Hearts 2 came out since The Lion King was in that. And how says the created of The Lion King didn't get permission to use some Kimba stuff? The Lion King is better than Kimba and The Lion King II is better than both. =P Oh just shut up about Kimba and The Lion King.

Yes they ARE the same in many ways. But have you yet to see the "Kimba the White Lion" DVDs? On the back they even say : "Kimba The White Lion inspired Disneys Lion King." In the small print on the lower half of the DVD case its self. I wish people would drop this because Disney is right, they deny the fact they stole "Kimba" because they did not do such nonsense. Please I wish people to read what I have to say and if you do not beleive me, go to a store with movies and ask for a "Kimba White Lion" DVD case and read the back. Thank you This is totaly wrong.

The lion king was 486868956 better than Kimba, though, imo. Also, Stop blaming "walt". Walt Disney died in 1966 you fools(not thw writer, the comments). As others said about it being based on Hamlet..and many other movies are based on old stories/epics..like Romeo and juliet, and deftinley tons of movies/games/books based on Odeysseus.
