Disney Gets Accused Of Stealing The Idea For 'Lion King' From 'Kimba The White Lion' And Some Frame-By-Frame Comparisons Are Convincing

Well this is a speedy way to make me lose faith in this website. Tell me, have any if you even watched a minute of any Kimba series? Kimba and TLK are.. ridiculously different in all of Kimba's renditions. Also worth noting, a good load of these shots are from the 1997 film, so I'm not sure what point you think you're making here. Than Jungle Emperor Leo (the 1997 film) ripped off TLK? There's about 100x more Kimba footage than lion king footage, and there's only so many things that can be done in an African setting, so of course some scenes are gonna look similar. Great going.

GUYS, there are some visual overlaps—some obviously so. But the stories are different, the characters are different, and the overlaps last for a single cut, not for full scenes. That’s generally legal. Copyright infringement needs to be EXACT copying of art, dialogue, characters, and other protected elements. Not “there are zebras in this scene” and “to speak to a gathering of animals, you stand on a jutting rock”. Yes, this is some pretty heavy usage of Kimba’s imagery. Yes, Disney was a dick for sending that "cease and desist" letter after Jungle Emperor Leo was released. But Disney did not infringe on specific art. The distinction is important. Lastly, there are 52 episodes of Kimba, 22 minutes each. That’s 19 hours of Kimba footage. The Lion King is not even 90 minutes long. Going to be pretty hard in a story about animals in Africa who talk not having visual overlap with other movies in Africa who talk.

1/2 This is not faithful to the plot, infact Kimba is the name used in the English version, the cub's name in the original series was Leo. Here's what the Wikipedia says about the plot: In Africa during the mid-20th century, as mankind encroaches, the white lion Panja (Caesar in the English dub) gives the jungle's wild animals a safe haven. However, he angers nearby villagers by stealing their cattle and their food to feed the jungle carnivores (in the English dub he merely frees the cattle). A professional hunter, Ham Egg (Viper Snakely in the English dub), is called in to stop these raids. He avoids directly attacking Panja. Instead, he records the sounds of Panja and uses them to trap his pregnant mate, Eliza, who then becomes bait in a trap for Panja. Panja is killed for his hide (but not before asking Eliza to name their child Leo), and Eliza is put on a ship, destined for a zoo.

2/2 Leo (Kimba in the English dub[a]) is born on the ship. Eliza teaches him his father's ideals. As a huge tropical storm nears, she urges her cub out through the bars of her cage. The storm wrecks the ship, killing all the humans and animals on board (including his mother) and Leo starts to drown in the ocean. The fish help him learn to swim. As he begins to despair, the stars in the sky form the face of his mother, who encourages him. Guided by butterflies, he makes it to land. Leo lands far from his ancestral home and is found and cared for by some people. He learns the advantages of human culture, and decides that when he returns to his wild home he will bring culture to the jungle and stand for peace like his father. The show follows Leo's life after he returns to the wild, still a young cub, and how he learns and grows in the next year. Leo soon learns that only communication and mutual understanding between animals and humans will bring true peace.

Alright, these are both a bit of a stretch. First, displaying any high rise on fire is easy, considering how many there are and the likelihood of a fire happening in them. Second, picking an arbitrarily low number is simple, and the fact that the world trades centers, side by side, look like an eleven is coincidence.
