At first, The Lion King just wanted to take over the box office, but those ambitions were just too small. Thanks to Disney and Aniplex, the movie has made its way into the anime fandom, and fans ...

Osamu Tezuka, a Japanese animator, created the anime, “Kimba the White Lion,” in 1965. Disney claims they knew nothing about Tezuka & prided that the Lion King was original content.

Lion Forge Entertainment is developing a live-action TV series for Secret Society of Rebel Girls, with Dorling Kindersley (DK) on board for publishing.

Some think Disney copied "Kimba the White Lion, " a Japanese anime aired in the United States in the 1960s. Others blame it on the circle of life.
