Huh, thought this was known widespread? (Tezuka being the first with his white lion king animation before Disney) I once wrote an essay on this, accusing Disney of being a greedy conglomerate sueing everyone that dares to come up with a figure that has any similarities with their own characters but when it comes to their own "borrowing" methods they love to bagatalise it. (they don't mind borrowing fairytales which copyrights has expired from but angstly guard their own work with an army of laywers) The Japanese should have sued them for copying 'Kimba'.
im curious as to whether the 'copied' kimba.. or if they bought some of the rights... cuz from the screencaps, it is obvious that the concept and art direction was based entirely on tezuka's work.
well in this world everyone rip each off just to survive so i aint surprised that Lion King was ripped off of something else

A whole new world.... -lol oh what... wrong theme... ayy les see you sing the jungle theme from your native land
yeah agreed like how Disney creates works that are public domain and then copyright it to prevent others from using it and claiming that's it contains their creativity. This bs is happening with Adobe books and sony that create digital versions of old books and then selling public works that are free because they created it. And also pharmateuticals "researching"indigenous' medicine and leaving locals with nothing. Disney pssh,
everyone copies someone sometime like they said in god of cookery like in a competition he runs u run he jumps u jump hehe
^ There's inspiration, there's given move (afterall, you cannot NOT sing at a singer contest) but it's entirely different matter (and unlikely one too) if they pull that story out of nowhere... Plus it's a bad copying attempt.
