How many of you have heard of Kimba the White Lion?? To tell the truth I never even heard of this show untill a few weeks ago.It came out some time in the 1960s.I have looked around alittle about this show.
I have read that Lion King was based on this show.I never heard about that either.But in fact it was called out about Disney using characters and situations from Kimba.Disney said that no one in the company had ever heard about Kimba untill after Lion was released...I'm not to sure I believe that part >.>
Also when the English version of Kimba was getting ready to come out they wanted to use the name Simba.However that name is untrademarkable.So does that means if I named my cat Simba and got it on TV would that be wrong? Because I named him Simba..What if I wanted to name my son Simba is that wrong too... >.> Ok I'm just being a smart butt right now.Anyway you guys get the point right.
Has anyone else heard about this?Here is a site that posted some images from both the shows to prove a point
