It just surprises me how Astro Boy has got a movie, but not Kimba The White Lion. (No, I’m not counting the Jungle Emperor Leo films, even though Kimba’s name is Leo in Japan) I mean a movie we can watch on the Big Screen. Kimba never got a film on the big screen. After TBCTF released in 2010, the franchise has just been… abandoned… like… it’s been over 10 years since we’ve got anything from Kimba. The fact they just abandoned one of Tezukia’s beloved IP’s of all time!
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596All Disney has to do is mention that the cat and rats in this episode are blatant ripoffs of the characters from Cinderella.
This episode is not the entire series. Watch some of the ones with Claw, the one-eyed black-maned lion and his hyena henchmen. Or the episodes where Kimba's dead father appears to him in the sky to encourage him when he's down. In this episode, Kimba hasn't even met Pauly, the bird who acts as his advisor and friend.
The musical score to the Jungle Emperor (Kimba) series is the best. A long time ago there were records and CDs of the actual show soundtrack and familiar versions.
I watched this on channel 44 in the SF bay area in 72' the 44 represnted the Golden Gate Bridge. Very forward thinking cartoon - I got it. Positive message & kids know good when they see so wonderfuly renderd! I'm 59 now. Like I watched yesterday! Kids today ate so short-chined! We can do better than Niji Turtles & Power Tangers? Ya think?! Come on!!!😱👍
As a French person, I was curious to check out the English dub of this series and while so far, the voices seem fine, not a fan of some dialogue differences (in French, when seeing the music box, instead of asking what it is, Kimba asks who the man is and when he is told it is the father, he asks why he has none). But also... why change the name of Leo to Kimba? As well as the father's name to Cesar? Especially when (unless this was an addition from the French dub, which I somehow doubt) Leo literally got his name from his own father, also named Leo. It just seems stronger to me on many levels... and trust me, the French dub still has MANY flaws.
The most important thing to know is that Africa is not a country; it's a continent of 54 countries that are diverse culturally and geographically. It's so diverse because Africa is really, really big - about as big as the combined landmasses of China, the United States, India, Japan and much of Europe.
funny you say that, when pretty much all the Black African human characters in this show are blackface caricatures... (In case it's clear, no one finds it offensive that an animal character is white. have you seen anyone complain about the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland? or Moby Dick the white whale?)
People have been making stories about lions since the Bible, Aesop fables, etc… you cannot tell me that the Lion King could have possibly inspired from Kimba the White Lion alone. It’s also a show about African animals, what do you think the odds are that a lot of their environments would happen to be the same bc it takes place in Africa???
Watch the YMS review on the Kimba/Lion King conspiracy, it eviscerates it to shreds… There are at least three to four decades worth of Kimba animes, movies, etc. compared to 60-90 minutes of The Lion King. You have been lied to.
The original Lion King film may only be 90 minutes long, but there’s two sequels, a remake and a prequel to the remake, and two TV series too. Not to mention there’s a lot of spinoff media. Still, YMS did do a good debunking. Tezuka’s estate never sued at any rate, but that may have just been because they thought Disney had really great lawyers.
@Carlos Are you implying that all the sequels and extra stuff in the franchise also ripped off Kimba too??? That’s just as ridiculous as the original claim… 🤦🏻♂️
@cb8655 No, I agree with you. Just that there's a lot more to TLK than just the first film. Still not as much as Kimba which has several decades worth of multiple animated adaptations to choose from.
The Nostalgia Critic made a joke about that. HEY, THAT NEVER MADE IT INTO COURT! I think we're in the clear of that one. To be fair didn't Tezuka want to work with Disney?
baboon jester? since when is rafiki a jester? kimba and simba are named that because simba means lion in swahili, they were planning to call kimba simba but changed one letter so they could trademark the name.
funny because in the wild anti colonialism 60's when these cartoons were made africa was going through some of it's more trouble some times every nation was throwing the free loading thieving euro's out on their asses

Whenever I hear the English opening for Kimba, I am immediately transported back nearly 45 years to when I watched the reruns on television.
Childhood memories... Early 70s. The best ❤❤❤
It's made in the year 1965.
@@FlyingV3rdin 65 I was 2... So I don't remember that release date. However, the early 70s was the living end!!!
@@FlyingV3rdyes 1965 through the mid 70’s. Its called reruns.

They can't beat the classics!
I've been wanting to hear the eng dubbing. Thank you!
Everyone is mentioning taht they saw it in the 70s. I'm a 2000s kid and the I grew up with this in VHS.
@@kyliemartino-dunne6668 if that so then i love you.
Same! Born in 93!
Thanks for this video. This anime I watched in my childhood and what got me into anime still to this day.❤❤❤ 🦁🐾
You are giving me flashbacks mann!!
My aunt was like that with Kimba the White Lion and Astro boy. She hated modern cartoons but liked old ones, including Japanese ones.
Kimba.....Simba.... hmmmm suspicious
Kimba came out 1965 and Lion King came out 1994
This was my The Lion King !
Disney did get into some trouble over that although I don't think it ever made it court.
guys they're referencing the yms video
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596All Disney has to do is mention that the cat and rats in this episode are blatant ripoffs of the characters from Cinderella.
As a lion King fan i enjoyed it
Can you guys release the Japanese dub with English subs? Everyone's been looking for that and it's IMPOSSIBLE to find.
هذه السلسله من الكارتون الرائع كنت متعود اشاهدها في تلفزيون العراق في المساء عام ١٩٨٤و لا زلت متابع بشوق وتلهف وانا رجل في الخمسين
I've been lied to, this is nothing like the lion king
WA, WA WA WA, WA WA WA, WAWAWA
@@valeria262WA WA WAAAA WA WA WA WA WA WAAAAAAAAAAA
Fr like how the frick is this what inspires the Lion king????
Watch YMS’s video on the Kimba conspiracy… it’s two hours long but he shreds the comparison videos between Lion King and Kimba.
This episode is not the entire series. Watch some of the ones with Claw, the one-eyed black-maned lion and his hyena henchmen. Or the episodes where Kimba's dead father appears to him in the sky to encourage him when he's down. In this episode, Kimba hasn't even met Pauly, the bird who acts as his advisor and friend.
It's so beautiful and sad 😭😭❤❤❤❤

Kimba was on most of the Kaiser TV stations (44 SF, 48 in Philly, 50 in Motown, 61 in Cleveland and 56 in my Boston hometown)
Jesus this actually does exist? I legit thought this was some type of fever dream that I had when I was a kid

Leo's father is called Panja in Japanese, not Leo as well. The French dub is wrong.
@@Laia92 Well I didn’t say it was the right one, I said it was better, in my opinion. Also then both dubs are wrong, I guess.🤷♂️
the opening of kimba en japanese is most epic
1:50 What kind of huge animal traps work like that?
Now This is what i call a televsion classic
I hope they reboot the series or make a new movie.

@@Mediawatcher2023Preach to the uninformed 😮
This anime was long before one piece attack on Titan dragon ball Z spy x family demon slayer chainsaw man jujutsu kaisen and others
I was 11 years old lkast time I saw this...THANKS!
We need a KTWL Live Action Movie! MAKE IT HAPPEN!
I second that.
I agree. 🤚
I first saw this in February 13 2022. It almost made me cry in the end when his mom died. Also, I associate Kimba with Day 7 Dream away.
Can you upload some In the Japanese Dub?
That's what my kids is gonna watch (if I will have one)
Is the white lion vegan?
Simba was just a king but Kimba was an emperor.
Wearing a daddy's skin is something a true king can never does. Also this show is racist to African
Of a hut
@@VuMinhThuFPLHN "this show is racist to africans"... they literally never show any african person for all this series 😅
@@Laia92 Have you ever watched the show, they do dumbass
Regele leu ❤❤❤😊 2019
Kimba??? 🤔😱🤔 ?
9:37 LMAO the guy bleed
I read that as: the hooman started bleeding at 9:37.
My childhood
Mine too ❤
Same here.
That typo needs to be fixed
Dang none of kimbas parents live
A huge difference between Kimba and Lion King… among other things.
Kimba is better than Simba! Thanks for the upload and greetings from a young woman in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
More like wrongzegovina
"I second that".
great opening titles ,someone of course ruined it in the nineties by redoing it and changing the words ,shockingly bad
Kimba/Leo ❤
Think they would give him a different color today, to cater to "modern sensibilities" ? 😂😂
Kimba the Black Lion?
funny you say that, when pretty much all the Black African human characters in this show are blackface caricatures... (In case it's clear, no one finds it offensive that an animal character is white. have you seen anyone complain about the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland? or Moby Dick the white whale?)
you must be fun at parties (if you ever get invited to any)
Kimba grandpa of Simba lol😂
Kimba grandpa of Simba lol😂
🦁🎥Big Thanks to TH-cam for Keeping Our Memories Alive..✨🎭
I still can't believe lion king was inspired by this show. 😮
kimba
Kimba, NOT Kimbab.
I mean even the names are similar. Kimba, Kimbab? Hmmm... suspicious.....
The lion king definitely got inspiration from this show
Lol
For what exactly?
Also lion king story is based on Hamlet and this isn't really a secret
@@mirovini. Bamblet in Africa

So this is the first color anime series? I'm not counting Panda and the Magic Serpent.
Panda and the magic serpent was the first Japanese anime movie in colour
@@KrisVexBlood That's not a series though.

@@carlosalmonacid8958 I understand now… thank you for clarifying. :)
I could've sworn I heard an english Dub on vhs call kimbas father Panja
😮
15:14
heyyy this is pretty much just the lion king
Yeah both have lions, therefore they are identical.
I dislike poachers.
Disney's Lion King sure borrowed from Kimba. Simba. Baboon Jester. C'mon man! :D And Caesar is as Noble as Aslan.
The Nostalgia Critic made a joke about that.

Disney: These similarities are a coincidence
Me:🤨
No way theres people who still think Lion king is a ripoff
@@-lord1754It's not a ripoff. Lion King is one of the most greatest movies from Disney!
@@ThinkingSpotFriends Exactly
what similarities? lions existing in africa?
@@-lord1754 there are 😉 that guy you worship is just a random guy telling his opinion, not Jesus Christ.

Based Gaddafi
Lion King stole all these ideas Disney thief’s
I didn't know there were humans, cars and guns in lion king
Kimba is nothing like Lion King. If you actually watched Kimba you would know that
i can see you haven't watched the video before commenting on it
lmao
Not exactly.
The dub is horrible
Probably because it was mad in 1966
Lion king stole everything
No, they didn't. YMS debunked the whole conspiracy.
Or none of it
