“I mean, the artists working on the film, if they grew up in the ’60s, they probably saw Kimba,” explained the animator. “I mean, I watched Kimba when I was a kid in the ’60s, and I think in the recesses of my memory, we’re aware of it but I don’t think anybody consciously thought, ‘Let’s rip off Kimba.” In an interview with HuffPost Entertainment, former Disney animator Tom Sito said there was no inspiration from Kimba when creating The Lion King. An animated series aired in 1965 and was broadcasted until 1967.Įven though there are screenplay differences between The Lion King and Kimba, many of the scenes are almost too similar. Kimba the White Lion was created by Japanese cartoonist Osamu Tezuka and was first published in 1950 as a series of manga. The Lion King was Disney’s first animated film that was an entirely original story, unlike The Little Mermaid or Beauty and the Beast – or so people thought.
