Step aside.. Lion King expert coming through...

Well, yes the two can be compaired in a way, but the only real simmualrities are the Dad dying and them having responsibilites.

But, Disney DID have coversations with the Kimba creator, but after they couldnt reach a agreement it was dropped.

But the TLK idea had nothing to do with the Kimba deal. It all started when they talked about "Bambi in Africa" and Hamlet. And hence, Simba was born.

Also the ORIGINAL TLK storyline was a lot LESS like Kimba.

One version, involved Scar (known as "Bad Guy" then (?)) gathering a bunch of baboons and attacking pride rock (Just imagine Rafiki beating the heck out of Muffy)

Another which was closer to the final version, Scar gave Mufasa some poison that Killed him. Sacr lets Simba stays only to plan a different death. Scar throws Mheetu (Nala's little brother who got cut from the final film) into the gourge where the Zebra's are stameding. And Scar tries to trick Simba into getting Mheetu. Scar tri3es to kill Simba but fails.

Another went WAY along the Nazi line. The pride becom,ing sort of a concentration camp. But then again it was droppd :P

Oh and Nala was supose to be (beeped) by Scar and have his cub (In a earlier versionof "Madness of king Scar").

You have been enlightened.
