is NOT a 'lion king' rip-off
fyi- this is the final story of osamu tezuka's 'kimba the white lion' tale.. created in the 1950s..... disney actually ripped-off THIS story (lion king). look it up / don't listen to these other reviewers.
people, you do know that this was released BEFORE the Lion King?
yeah. believe it or not, it was released before the Lion King..So technically, Disney ripped off Tezuka. ;D >>Not my favorite film from Tezuka, but it's a fun friendly movie.
Great Story by the Great Tezuka
First off, for all you unenlightened, this came out before the Lion King. Don't you know by now that Disney has never come up with an original idea. They rip off stories from other countries and hope that the American public is too ignorant to realize it. Judging by the previous reviews, they're right.
