No need the video I posted debunks the op.

Lion king is hamlet not kimba at all. The only thing they have in common is the lion as the main protagonist. Kimba is not even his name in Japan it is leo.

Edit
Oh and those clips are from the kimba movie that came out in 1997. After the lion king.

if i remember right.

the kimba movie that dropped.
was made before lion king and put through the legal ringer.
so it got released afterward.
from the legal situation disney invoked to steal the property away.

Yeah the guy in video talks about that. He could not find any evidence that Disney did that or when they started development. Another point he made was that those scenes from the kimba movie that are similar are not iconic to manga or the 60s tv show or the 80s one. It looks like kimba was copying lion king in that regard.

no.

Disney commissioned this company who created kimba predating the lion king.
by like thirty or forty years.
before lion king was even pitched.

yet Disney acted as tho.
they never even knew who or what this company was.
when they knew exactly what this company was.
plus, blatantly stole slash bit this property and changed the words around.
plus delved into and sabotaged the making, and halted release of the movie.
that was not released on time.
from Disney meddling administratively and legally.
after lion king already drew and smashed box office.

I believe there are other threads on this.
plus i know i have posted about this.
purposefully before in joking matter post wise .
by calling simba kimba and acting confused via text as a joke.

You do realize Disney always commissioned Asian companies, animation houses and workers.
Even thr creator of Scooby doo.
who migrated to hannah barberra

originally was a Disney guy.


go look up the company and cross reference Disney and the company.
it will blow your mind because of the history Disney tries to omit.
plus it was a whole movie on this post on the net as well.
which gives the total gateway insight to this as well.

I have not clicked a link in this thread yet.
to know if the info is included in this thread.
yet i do know for sure i have posted on this.
while, i also saw and read gateway info on this previously as well.


Disney bogus.
that they had to steal this property.
as, it was the only way.
they would have become a draw again.
Disney was a low quality defunct dead cold draw before lion king.
disney was done out here.
past weird releases schedules of the animated classics.
that predate the lion king by like at least forty years for starters.
if you grew up on Disney.
just know that shyt is rejuvenated.
before lion king Disney was supa trash past the classics.
that were all older than us.
by forty plus back then.
this theft changed history and perception.
when Disney was done.
before they even ruined Starwars the first time with droids back then.
Disney was super garbage my whope life before lion king.
we would not be caught dead watching no Disney nuffin.

fukk disney.

There is not evidence that Disney ever used Mushi Productions (the studio that produced Kimba) for anything.
Disney did fukk by saying they never heard of Kimba which was ridiculous statement to make but they stole nothing form Kimba.

Not true.
Disney commissioned this STUDIO to make animations way before lion king.
even possibly before kimba was on syndication on NBC in the late sixties.
Disney knew exactly who this company was.
as again they commissioned this company was work before we were all born.
not to mention in the grand scheme of things animated or anime.
you should look independently into more indepthly.
into who this company was.
