Is that sweat in my eyes, or tears running down my cheeks remembering a day long gone? Coming home from kindergarten in 1969 and seeing Kimba, Marine Boy, Speed Racer and a ton of other shows. It's official, it's tears...
Danglyparts Old enough to have seen the show before you (or at last I'm assuming so). I was mostly over-exaggerating in an effort to highlight that this is a show that I haven't seen in decades, and a reminder of my youth. Wasn't meant to be taken seriously..
I remember watching this and Speed Racer on channel 56 in Boston Massachusetts in the 70s. I bought DVD of this but it's from Canada and has different music and voices
teed up We lived in Jersey(still do) and somehow we got the UHF channels, and we used to watch Kimba and Marine Boy and Speed Racer as well as the Japanese live action shows, Ultraman and Johnny Sokko being the two main ones, with Space Giants bringing up the rear. This was on UHF channle WPHL 17 out of Philadelphia on the Wee Willie Webber show.
Isn't it amazing how just hearing a song can transport one back to their childhood home in the late 60's? I wasn't prepared for this but my eyes started tearing up when I heard this.. Just hit me after more than 50 years
Honest Trailers was right. Man white people steal everything. Stole land from the Native Americans, Rock music from black people, and the "original" lion king from the Japanese. Shame.
OMG.......that was the very first time I've heard that song in 52 years. But I knew it perfectly. I could sing the song even before I just heard it again. I never forgot the music and words in over 50 years. I used to love Kimba the White Lion and watched it every Sunday evening when I was 10 years old in 1967. That was in La Habra Heights in Southern California. Back when California was the totally coolest state in the nation. No way to explain how fun it was in those days. We sure had some great cartoons.
Southern California still has the absolute best weather in the nation but LA is now a pit thanks to the Libs. Orange County and San Diego are the places to live now, don't even bother visiting LA anymore except for maybe Malibu.
@@kcreagan9799 You have my total agreement on the Libs in SoCal and everywhere else they are. It's unbelievable what the Demonrats are getting away with. Trump had this country running like a Swiss watch. Biden and the people pulling his strings have purposely run this country into the ground and it will only get worse. Remember what the Stones said in Street Fighting Man.........."Hey, think the time is right for palace revolution".
The reruns lasted for years. Back in the day after school there were so many kids shows to a certain time. Be it Gilligan's island, banana splits, the Monkees, Kimba, etc
@@ANTHNYYY I know ...I think about that (too) much.... that those days were very much as real and present as the moment we are in now, every second. And then every second becomes the past immediately. (I've been thinking of this since I can remember having thought). Just think, right now is the YOUNGEST we'll ever be for the rest of our lives, while simultaneously being the OLDEST we've ever been. I choose to focus on "this is the youngest I'll ever be from here on out."
Do you mean......Gigantor......Gigantor.......Gigannnntor. Gigantor the space age robot, he's at your command. Gigantor the space age robot his power is in your hand. Bigger than big. Taller than tall. Quicker than quick. Stronger than strong. Ready to fight for right....against wrong.
I was born in '66 and this transported me straight back to about 1970! Loved this show. Why am I so emotional hearing this for the first time in almost 50 years?
I loved this theme song as a kid, back in the 60s! The harmony and the melody was so beautiful to me. The songs pop up in my memory and I looked them up and what a joy to think about innocent times

I really thought something was wrong with me when I hear this song. I start crying. I loved this show when I was very little. Now I know I’m not alone in how this simple opening song can touch others in the same way.
So, I remember that opening sequence with him running! I knew I wasn’t just making that up. Unfortunately, my two guy friends who are slightly older than I am, do not recall Kimba.
I love coming here and seeing people still believe the stupid conspiracy having not seen Adam’s video that’s LITERALLY THE FIRST RESULT when you search “Kimba”, debunking the entire thing. Gotta say I love the opening though, it makes me nostalgic for something that was before my time and I love it. Wa wa wa my friends

One of my childhood cartoons. I can't believe the theme still exists and in such brilliant quality as well. Amazing to hear the song again after so many years
Actually, this brings a tear to my eye. I've NEVER forgotten this sweet little ditty - some 40 years later. Good memories. I used to watch it right after Speed Racer!
i to remember this scene,,,it still brings tear,s to my eyes,,,i only watched this eposide the other day on tape,,,and the emotion is still there,stll as strong as ever,,,,i still watch the stars at night,and i still look to see kimba,s mum,,,keep up the good work kimba,your message is stll strong today as it was back in the 60s,,,well done.,,,,,,,,,robert brisbane,australia,,,,
My mom used to sing the theme to me. She passed in 2016 of Cancer, and whenever I want to think of a happy memory of her , I especially think of this one.
I love this show still.When I was about 5yrs old,I had a vinyl lamb that I called Kimba, because parents couldn't get me a white lion toy(and the lamb was cute too) In fact I think that's why I got the lamb.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thanks Mom&Dad for everything you did for us kids 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This cartoon definitely brought back such good memories. I happened to find a rerun of it on cable TV this weekend and even though I had not seen or heard the theme song or cartoon in over 40 years I instantly remembered it all. I was filled with such warm nostalgia that I sat with a silly grin on my face and was instantly transported back to my house in Detroit watching this on channel 62. I felt like a 5-year old all over again. I got excited when I saw the animals running (for some reason, this was always my favorite part of the show). That was one memory I totally forgot but it came rushing back to me. I could even hear my now-deceased mother’s voice talking to me about the show. It was such a good feeling. Very warm and nostalgic. Amazing how a silly cartoon can do that!
I was about 7 when this was on...I loved this programme-small dudes beating bigger tougher dudes..I havent seen this in 40 years but I still remember the theme song as if was yesterday--unreal-thanks so much for posting-tear in my eye
I used to love that when they got into a fight scene, and the combatants rolled themselves into a ball, immediately afterwords, they were all bandaged!
Trawling through RUclips finding all these old cartoon themes. DAMN, THEM WERE THE DAYS> Getting up early Saturday morning and sitting in front of the TV to watch all the cartoons and them anoying the hell out of mum for the rest of the day playing out all the stuff we'd seen during the morning. Thanks for the memories
Wow!! Does this bring back memories! I remember watching this on Channel 52 living in Los Angeles back in the early 70's. It was there I also got my first look at Speed Racer.
OMG! SUCH FOND MEMORORIES!!! I was a teensy weeensy living in Japan on the Camp Zama military base. The ONLY show in English was Sesamee Street....so I always watched it - just to feel connected. (even my Mom did, lol, because of the same reason!). Thankfully, KIMBA was on and in Japanese but yet....it transcended language and I LOVED IT!!! It has a special place in my heart.... ❤
+Warner J Gaitán Guerrero It's obvious i grew up watching Kimba in the 60's and 70's and comparing both Kimba and Lion King,, TLK shows clear evidence that it's stolen, coinsidence is no excuse from Disney as they claim.
Man I'm 47 years old and I can remember me and my mom watching this together when I was like 5 or 6 it's some great memories I really can't remember a bad time with my mom she was so cool.
WOW! I haven't seen Kimba since the mid-70's on KBHK-44 TV in San Francisco at 4pm. LOL I couldn't wait to get home from school to see it. Even named my favorite cat KIMBA! thank you RUclips!
It’s 1967, and I can distinctly remember coming home from school and watching this on WPHL channel 17 out of Philadelphia. This along with a block of cartoons such as: Marine Boy Gigantor Eighth Man Astro Boy Speed Racer So many great cartoons back in those days, and sadly today, many cartoons I’ve come across are just flat out WEIRD. 😮
I'm off the charts late as I didn't have a youtube channel when I first heard this, but R.I.P the owner of this channel (craig anderson). He was the biggest fan of this show.
When I was a kid and visited my family in Washington D.C During the Summer I remembered watching this cartoon in the 1970's . It really brings back memories of my childhood.
Kimba, Prince Planet, Gigantor.... my childhood in a nutshell. We played so many games, as very young kids, based on these, our favourite shows. Here in 1960’s Australia!
Kimba was one of my favorite things as a child. Astroboy first and Kimba a close second...it made being a kid in the 60s a little better, I think. As an only child, I found childhood to be a lonely condition, but great imaginative shows, with heart, made a real difference and made me love animals and look for kindness in the world. My parents and grandparents were good to me, but I found my young peer group rather heartless...books and great cartoons gave me somewhere to go, emotionally.
I used to watch this as a child in the 70s. I have never made the connection to the Lion King until now. Who sang along to the song? I remember the words
Before I became big on anime in general, I remember as a kid watching these localized versions thinking "boy, some shows look so different from stuff like Warner Bros & Hanna-Barbera shows!" And THEN along came "Star Blazers", which changed everything for me. Yep, it WAS edited for the more extreme scenes of violence & sexuality, but "Blazers" did show characters dying & there was even bits of "fan service" that slipped through S&P...🙃. When I finally got to see the whole run of "Jungle Emperor Leo", I was amazed!
well ACTUALLY the lion king is basically one reenactment of Hamlet, and the sequel being a recreation of Romeo, and Juliet. Disney didn't copy the plot at all, just the small little lion Simba. If you want to blame Disney of copying something, it's the 1500s to 1600s playwrights of shakespeare, even then, he just brought the tale in african animal kingdom form, to appeal to kids.
Anubis game Plot-wise there are differences. But there are multiple scenes that are identical visually. Also both movies have a father-son lion, an evil sibling, evil hyena henchman, a warthog, a meerkat, a bird with a big beak (actual species is escaping me...), etc. In fact Matthew Broderick (voice of older simba) thought he was doing an American remake of Kimba... If you're going to do a remake of Hamlet (with elements of Moses and Joseph) then pick different animals and a different setting and don't borrow shots from other cartoons. Disney knew the creator of Kimba and I imagine his animators, who were adults in 1995, had seen Kimba at some point.
K Batt You do realize that Walt was dead before the lion king right? This was before the internet so there's a good chance that they didn't know about Kimba. The movie was about Lions so of course the animals would be the same. There is an evil sibling because it based off of hamlet.
it was popular cartoon series on TV in my country back in 60s. it was my childhood favorite. when Lion King was first launched with Simba character, I was initially thought it was Kimba but then I heard his father's name Mufasa. in the movie, Kimba didnt have father anymore.
Edited 6/4/22. I was born in 1961 and watched kimba on tv i forgot what channel it was on this would have been a great addition to cartoon network's original adult swim lineup.
OMG YES I AGREE. That is how i feel right now, and the undertones of orientalism and patriarchy make me so nauses. Like the white lion bringing human civilized culture to Africa- dafuq is that? Honest movie trailers just killed my fantasy.
Corpsman2326 hahaah man, that was a really mean thing to say. Spread love not hate. I hope you can get your life together enough so you don't have to attack strangers to feel better about yourself. God bless man. For the record, there is a lot to be said about the influence of this cartoon- every film, cartoon or sitcom has a meaning.
I use to watch Kimba when I was a little girl and loved it glad I found this theme song..of course I can't stop singing it either....I always wanted to go to Africa and find Kimba...thanks for having this on here...:)

Disagree. Cartoons had great intros up til the mid 00s. However, anime has great intros in just about every decade.
How lovely to see this again! I remember being obsessed with this show when I was about 7 years old and I used to sing this song around the house.
Same here as well
I seen the series two months ago and I was inspired.

It’s anime not cartoon
I was born 1970 in the West Australian Goldfields and my first pet, a tough tom cat, was named "Kimba".

+Warner J Gaitán Guerrero but as usual.. Made it better
Man I'm 47 years old and I can remember me and my mom watching this together when I was like 5 or 6 it's some great memories I really can't remember a bad time with my mom she was so cool.
Wow your 58 now 😂
WOW! I haven't seen Kimba since the mid-70's on KBHK-44 TV in
San Francisco at 4pm. LOL I couldn't wait to get home from school to see it.
Even named my favorite cat KIMBA!
thank you RUclips!
It’s 1967, and I can distinctly remember coming home from school and watching this on WPHL channel 17 out of Philadelphia.
This along with a block of cartoons such as:
Marine Boy
Gigantor
Eighth Man
Astro Boy
Speed Racer
So many great cartoons back in those days, and sadly today, many cartoons I’ve come across are just flat out WEIRD. 😮
I'm off the charts late as I didn't have a youtube channel when I first heard this, but R.I.P the owner of this channel (craig anderson). He was the biggest fan of this show.
Wow! This brings back memories, holy cow. Thank you so much for posting this.
When I was a kid and visited my family in Washington D.C During the Summer I remembered watching this cartoon in the 1970's . It really brings back memories of my childhood.
Kimba, Prince Planet, Gigantor.... my childhood in a nutshell. We played so many games, as very young kids, based on these, our favourite shows. Here in 1960’s Australia!
Kimba was one of my favorite things as a child. Astroboy first and Kimba a close second...it made being a kid in the 60s a little better, I think. As an only child, I found childhood to be a lonely condition, but great imaginative shows, with heart, made a real difference and made me love animals and look for kindness in the world. My parents and grandparents were good to me, but I found my young peer group rather heartless...books and great cartoons gave me somewhere to go, emotionally.
I used to watch this as a child in the 70s. I have never made the connection to the Lion King until now.
Who sang along to the song? I remember the words
No doubt Kimba is the reason why i love cats so much today I also have a black and white reverse tuxedo that I call Pepper.😸
The memories from the 1960s. I feel my heart doing crazy things and the feel of moisture in my eyes. The wonderful good old days.
This used to be on tv in the 70s.
still up on the 80s..watched it...
Even earlier. I watched it when I came home for lunch in elementary school in the late 60's.
wow, can you guys tell me if there is a restored version of toons like this one?
It started airing around 1966-67. My grandmother used to collect TV Guide (yes) and it was in the listings back then.
Lion king rip this off
SteelWingsStudios Lion King also rips of Macbeth
This cartoon preceded The Lion King by about 30 years.
The thing is why won't Disney admit they copied it? It's 100% obvious they got inspired from this film to say the least.
To be fair they atleast they made made lion king 5x better and more memorable
Plus it could've been a coincidence. I doubt any of the writers, animators, etc. have heard or even seen this show
I remember watching this when I was younger! I used to love this show :)
Before I became big on anime in general, I remember as a kid watching these localized versions thinking "boy, some shows look so different from stuff like Warner Bros & Hanna-Barbera shows!" And THEN along came "Star Blazers", which changed everything for me.
Yep, it WAS edited for the more extreme scenes of violence & sexuality, but "Blazers" did show characters dying & there was even bits of "fan service" that slipped through S&P...🙃. When I finally got to see the whole run of "Jungle Emperor Leo", I was amazed!
Man this use to be one of my all time favorite toons. What a flash back.lol
Anime
@@erennotmyyeager4558 during its run on the Saturday line ups, it was considered a Cartoon with the English voice overs
Anime fans need to watch Tezuka nowadays.
I totally agree.
When you grew up in the 90's watching this - we had the VHS tapes! 🥰
My dog who passed away at 16 years of age last year...was also named Kimba. Great name for a pet. Kimba the White Lion rules.
Kimba actually knows how to fight 😳😳
Seriously he fought an elephant. He would rape Simba if they ever met.
This is THE original. Way before Disney copied it. Maybe thats why most of you havent heard this version.
well ACTUALLY the lion king is basically one reenactment of Hamlet, and the sequel being a recreation of Romeo, and Juliet. Disney didn't copy the plot at all, just the small little lion Simba. If you want to blame Disney of copying something, it's the 1500s to 1600s playwrights of shakespeare, even then, he just brought the tale in african animal kingdom form, to appeal to kids.
Anubis game Plot-wise there are differences. But there are multiple scenes that are identical visually. Also both movies have a father-son lion, an evil sibling, evil hyena henchman, a warthog, a meerkat, a bird with a big beak (actual species is escaping me...), etc. In fact Matthew Broderick (voice of older simba) thought he was doing an American remake of Kimba... If you're going to do a remake of Hamlet (with elements of Moses and Joseph) then pick different animals and a different setting and don't borrow shots from other cartoons. Disney knew the creator of Kimba and I imagine his animators, who were adults in 1995, had seen Kimba at some point.
K Batt You do realize that Walt was dead before the lion king right? This was before the internet so there's a good chance that they didn't know about Kimba. The movie was about Lions so of course the animals would be the same. There is an evil sibling because it based off of hamlet.
it was popular cartoon series on TV in my country back in 60s. it was my childhood favorite. when Lion King was first launched with Simba character, I was initially thought it was Kimba but then I heard his father's name Mufasa. in the movie, Kimba didnt have father anymore.
@@uniliv582 they definitely drew inspiration from a lot of scenes
i honestly use to watch this all the time...... i truley loved it 😂♥️
Edited 6/4/22. I was born in 1961 and watched kimba on tv i forgot what channel it was on this would have been a great addition to cartoon network's original adult swim lineup.
I had this Siamese cat who looked a lot like Kimba and that was his nickname
lucky you
The cat's actual name was Leroy; my sister nicknamed him Kimba
You have a great cat Cheryl.
I had my Leroy for eight years and I miss him
I did too!
My whole life was a lie!
OMG YES I AGREE. That is how i feel right now, and the undertones of orientalism and patriarchy make me so nauses. Like the white lion bringing human civilized culture to Africa- dafuq is that? Honest movie trailers just killed my fantasy.
Raevin Boyd i ment in the sense of connection it has with lion king. This was the predecessor.
Raevin Boyd What the hell is wrong with you? its a freakin cartoon! wow, I guess its true. You can't fix stupid.
Corpsman2326 hahaah man, that was a really mean thing to say. Spread love not hate. I hope you can get your life together enough so you don't have to attack strangers to feel better about yourself. God bless man. For the record, there is a lot to be said about the influence of this cartoon- every film, cartoon or sitcom has a meaning.
kilsgb dude calm down b4 you hurt yourself.
I used to watch this show religiously, hnnnngggg sweet sweet nostalgia.
ahhhhh, this song make me happy. im 5 yrs old again watching this. it was on channel 52 (uhf) in los Angeles in the early 70's
honest trailer told me to look it up lol
Me too lol :D
Oh hey look, it's my childhood
i remember coming home from school and watching this and Dark Shadows
I BORN IN THE 50's I WAS 14YEARS OLD KIMBA WAS MY FAVORITE SHOW MY YOUNGER YEARS
