Rating:  - I hate this show
I come from England, and when I read the latest review, I was very angry.
quote'Simba was a British monarch - Kimba was Gandhi.'quote
Firstly, Simba was realistic monarch. Not all British kings and queens were bad, take someone like Elizabeth 1st. She couldn't please everyone at once, but she did the best she could. Simba did the same. Unlike Kimba, who made animals vegetarians. And carnivores would die without meat, despite the 'meat substitutes.'

Rating:  - Who's the one who brought the jungle fame? KIMBA!!
As I'm writing this, I'm 21 years old. The Lion King came out when I was 9 and Kimba came out waaaaaaay before I was born. I love them both!

Rating:  - Why Kimba is different from the Lion King
I absolutely adored Kimba when I was seven years old. And when I grew up and Disney's The Lion King came along, I was certainly aware of some of the similarities in the story.
But the themes are very different in the two stories.
The Lion King presents a conservative view of society. The models for Simba's world are the hereditary monarchy and the circle of life, meaning the animals at the top of the food chain eat the lower animals. There are also bad animal castes: the hyenas ... Read More
Rating: - Simply Awesome
I was delighted to see Kimba offered so I could share it with my sons. It is a wonderful series and it amazing that Disney got away with Lion King without a lawsuit.........
