      +Jacob Pittman Simba is the Swahili word for lion. And Kimba's Japanese name is Leo, which is the Latin word for lion. Both are names that have been applied to many fictional lions outside of those two franchises. Heck, you could just as easily say that Disney stole the name from Scooby-Doo.
      I would also like to point out that although the Jungle Emperor franchise dates back to the 1950s, the original series has very little in common with The Lion King besides the basic premise of a lion ruler and the fact that it's set in Africa. This movie is the one that most people seem to point to when they accuse Disney of plagiarism, yet it came out three years AFTER The Lion King.

    Nothing wrong with Lion King -- it's a great work that stood the test of time. But for Disney to send a cease and desist to the company behind Jungle Emperor Leo back in 1997 for ripping Lion King --- that's the kind of stuff that feeds into the Evil Empire Disney narrative.

    • @liamwilson7549
      @liamwilson7549 5 лет назад +364

      Still don’t understand how they had the right to do that when Kimba the white lion came out years before it. This movie is simply a remastering of it.

    • @Siktopath
      @Siktopath 5 лет назад +268

      Everything is wrong with how the Lion King came to be. Disney stole the visuals and themes from Kimba the White Lion and after Lion King they sent that letter simply to hide from Western audinces at the time that Disney had just done some ripping off so that The Lion King looked like an original idea.

    • @HeartlessSlayer
      @HeartlessSlayer 5 лет назад +148

      And I have the STRANGEST of suspicions that it was Katzenburg behind that cease and desist. This was the same jackass that nearly destroyed 2D animation for Disney when he was trying to push the Black Cauldron that bombed and lost to the Care Bears movie. The same jackass that screwed over Richard Williams and his personal project, "The Thief and the Cobbler", just because Richard turned down the offer to direct Beauty and the Beast so Katzenburg greenlit Aladdin to spite him. SPEAKING of Aladdin, Katzenburg was also the same jackass who broke the contract with Robin Williams when Robin didn't want his voiced to be used for more than 25% of the marketing when the late Mr. Williams refused to turn down his role as Batty from Ferngully (his very first VA role) so in turn Katzenburg also attempted and successfully sabotaged Ferngully. And in turn, started the streak of films cynically hiring big names for voice acting in films just for marketing purposes even after he left Disney instead of focusing on characters, ALL because he wanted to make money off of Robin Williams's name despite that the late Robin did not want that at all!
      Jeffery Katzenburg: Petty Asshole.
      And take it from me, I grew up with Disney and will continue to do so, but even I condone the actions that the company and certain CEO's make behind the scenes. I love Disney for animation, the films, and the iconography it created that can impact and influence one's childhood and family life. But I hate hate HATE the corporate methods it run on since the Michael Eisner days, and Disney still has this 80's mindset about making enough money to keep making more and more and more and more etc.

      The Lion King story is based on Hamlet. Kimba is completely different. The story involves human poachers kidnapping kimba and killing his family, kimba gets lost at sea and finds his way home and then learns that not all humans are bad and wants to teach the other animals to work with them. Literally nothing like the lion king.

    I think a lot of people are missing the point. It doesn't matter if you think The Lion King is better. What matters is that Disney took a movie/show, plagiarised the snot out of it (not story beats so much as characters, themes, and story elements), used their financial muscle to block the original creators from releasing the product in the West, and denied ever hearing of the movie (kinda like if Disney pretended to not know who Miyazaki is nowadays). THAT'S why The Lion King is a problem.

    I'm really curious to how many people actually know the story of kimba the white lion. They are two completely different stories. Do they look similar, yes. They take place in the African jungle. Do they have similar names, well simba is swahili for lion, which led them to get the idea of naming him kimba.
    Other than that, they really don't have similar concepts (maybe also a lion struggling to carry his father's weight) I'm sure Disney did know about kimba, and the cease and desist letter was really crappy, but people exaggerate how Disney stole it

    For anyone about to tell all their friends about how The Lion King ripped off KImba the White Lion, go watch YMS: Kimba the White Lion
    by YourMoviesSucks first.
    It's a very unfair comparison. You aren't just comparing two movies, you are comparing one movie (The Lion King) to several feature length films and over one hundred episodes from various series (Kimba). Kimba had exhausted so much imagery from African nature by 1989 of course there will be similarities. And a lot of the visual comparisons are really weak anyways. Things like warthogs and herds of zebra. They're both in Africa, what did you expect?. The names are also very believable as coincidences. Simba straight up means lion in Swahili. Kimba was even going to be called Simba at first, but it wasn't thought to be marketable. And worst of all, a lot of the most extreme cases of similar imagery are from the movie you're watching a trailer for right now; Jungle Emperor Leo from 1997.

    Never understood why people think the Lion King is a rip-off of Kimba or vice versa. Sure, the similarities are there, but Lion King and Kimba are their own stories and world. One is about the encroachment of humans (white humans to be exact) while the other is about the internal struggles of being a king of a pride.
    But I guess that's what happens with cultures and industries that don't talk to one another. I bet it was more of the timing of the two movies that was the real problem when it comes to that controversy. A shame since neither series deserves it.

    • @Megrez-Alberich
      @Megrez-Alberich 2 года назад +2

      People think TLK ripped off Kimba because 1) they haven't watched or read Kimba and were misled by (purposefully?) dishonest and disingenuous comparative videos and articles on the subject, and 2) because Disney lied and contradicted themselves on many occasions regarding Tezuka, Kimba, their sources of inspiration for TLK, before backpedaling and changing their tune. Not to mention the fact that they didn't reveal before 2015 that at some point, the animators had access to the Kimba manga, which they read and compared to the movie they were working on.
      So, people naturally assumed that if Disney lied in the first place it was because they didn't have a clear conscience and that they had something to hide.
      See? That's the problem: piss poor communication. We went from "TLK is a 100% original story, our first animated movie that is *NOT* based on any pre-existing story, literary work, or fairy tale. It has _never_ been done before" to "TLK is based on Hamlet, Bambi, Ben Hur, the biblical stories of Moses and Joseph...". From "nobody at Disney had ever heard about Tezuka and Kimba" to "of course, we know about Osamu Tezuka, and we have the utmost respect for the man and his legacy". From "we only heard about the similarities after the movie came out" to "an animator showed up one day with a copy of the Kimba manga, and he showed it to us, notably a setup that looked like Pride Rock and I remember thinking wow, that's really close to ours!".

    Somehow the design reminds me of Astro Boy.

      They share the same creator, the late, great, Osamu Tezuka. You'll notice the reused character designs, as he liked reusing them as if they were simply actors filling differnet roles.

      it's the same artist/studio, the same people who also did the classic Speed Racer.

    The Lion King is actually pretty different from Kimba the white lion. Anyone whose actually watched it would know. I mean, they have there similarities, but really are quite different from each other

    I think the Real Lion King would be Bambi since both Kimba and Simba are both inspired by the White Tailed Deer
