Ironically, I agree that Japanese movie quality is usually more thought out, though Lion King will still be my favorite. --------------------------- I offer free Japanese lessons on my home site 「here!」 [Note: I am proficient in the language (even proficient enough to get hired at a university for teaching), but do not look to me before a native or someone more proficient, like Nagoyankee] |

TOPIC: ROY DISNEY TIME: 07/19 8:23 PM TO: JILL SAUDER (JKFG91B) FROM: ROY DISNEY (STAR99B) SUBJECT: "ROY ON MOMS" Jill, you asked whether we had any "nice motherly figures" in Disney's animated future. Wait until you see next summer's "The Lion King," and Kimba's mother. She's quite lovely. Roy Disney ------------------ Kind of hard to deny they had never heard of Kimba or Tezuka before the movie's release when Roy Disney's mentions Kimba by name a year before the release. And Tezuka and Walt Disney had met and talked about collaborating in 1964. Those that say Simba was a ripoff of Kimba are not talking storylines, but style and characters. The link I posted shows some pretty clear examples and explains why they never got sued. |

My point is just that it isn't all that crazy to think that Disney may have borrowed from Kimba, that's all. |

At this point, though, we're pretty much saying the same thing. Disney was inspired by Tezuka when he created The Lion King, in the same way that apparently Tezuka was inspired by Disney's Bambi when he created one of his own manga. There was no "ripping off" or "stealing," though. Just mutual respect and idolization by two amazing artists. |

I think if Disney borrowed from Tezuka, they should acknowledge it, that's all. |

Yeah, of course. I think that line is kind of strange. I was just looking through stuff on google, and it looks like Disney was pretty open about the fact that he was a fan of Tezuka's and vice versa. I don't know, maybe we as outside viewers and just creating a controversy that doesn't exist.

And yes, American cinema is a huge part of American culture; they even give gold statues to those who do well in it in front of an audience of millions... it is also their most popular exportable product. Quote:

They make a great essay, then they end it with the most irrelevant thing. Does it really matters Lion King has no humans in it? It focuses on other decent values, such as courage and responsibility. Moron. It is interesting, however. The eternal Saint is calling, through the ages she has told. The ages have not listened; the will of faith has grown old…
For forever she will wander, for forever she withholds; the Demon King is on his way, you’d best not be learned untold… |
