DID DISNEY RIP OF ANIME?

who thinks thats eiichi yamamoto's "kimba the white lion" was directly copied by disney to create the lion king?

despite obvious parralels between the two films/ series in kimbas case production staff at the lion king studios stated they were unaware of Tezuka productions original film.

is this coincidence? or maybe disney are honouring his work? have any other anime titles been slipped into mainstream tv in a copy cat fashion?

-_- WOW. How about the Lion King is actually a "rip off" of Shakespeare's "Hamlet"....

i remember talking about this a while back, when you really look at it Disney did copy off of that much like all there movies being based off another story, but it was Tezuka who copied first by doing the big eyes that disney uses so its not really all that bad.

In essence, nothing is original. everything is based off a previous work. you can't have a truly original work. doesn't mean it can't be good though.

Hardly senseless. That's the nature of art.
