Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Who is the Original King? I want to see people opinions on this. In my opinion I prefer Kimba (Or Leo, is his original name) to Simba and the Lion King For those who dont know Kimba Leo the Jungle Emperor is a movie based on the events after Kimba the White Lion featuring Kimba (Leo)a father and current ruler..... Also featuring Dan Green as Kimba, Tara Sands as Lune, Michael Sinterniklaas as Tommy and many more Edited November 8, 2011 by Kursedfire Share this post Link to post
Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Kimba is definitely the original, but as far as preference goes, I prefer Simba. Even if he is a copy. ._. Edited November 8, 2011 by AngelKitty Share this post Link to post
Posted November 8, 2011 Same as AngelKitty. I know Kimba went first, and I so believe the plagiarism story and all that, but for me, TLK will always be better, and so will Simba. I love Kimba too, though. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 8, 2011 I loved kimba as a kid. I prefer him, but Simba still gets love! Share this post Link to post
Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) It's... Damned obvious which came first, just look at the dates. Kimba preceded TLK by... What, 30 years or something? I personally think what I've heard of the similarities are a bit too much to be coincidence, but considering I've not had the good fortune to be able to have any real experience with Kimba aside from the "Jungle Emperor Leo" movie (yet, hopefully I can change that soon!~), I can't really say anything from personal observation. But from what I know, Kimba all the way. Definitely. Besides, Dan Green is his voice. Edited November 8, 2011 by KageSora Share this post Link to post
Posted November 8, 2011 ...Kimba? ._. Who dat? /chooses Mufasa O_O You... you haven't heard of Kimba the White Lion? /childhood love ... It's so cheesy. But more seriously, I have gotta choose the Lion King. <3 Gimme dem yellow cats any day. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 8, 2011 I prefer Simba. I grew up watching TLK but I only recently heard about Kimba (like a year ago or so) I know Kima came first and a white lion is pretty cool. But I still like Simba. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) Kimba? ...Is that some kind of candy? o3o Well, obviously I chose Simba 'cause I've never even heard of Kimba. c: :::Edit::: Ah, my bad, I didn't see WonderBubbles' post. I should really read before I post... *clicks the link* Edited November 8, 2011 by Felicityluff Share this post Link to post
Posted November 8, 2011 /chooses Mufasa This. Is kimba even a king? Looks like a scrawny lion cub prince to me. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 8, 2011 Love Simba more since he's more familiar. He's my childhood, darnit I have heard of Kimba before, when my dad went on a rant about how TLK was just copying his original show. The white lion may have come first, but I like Simba more~ Share this post Link to post
Posted November 8, 2011 I know who Kimba is, but I don't recall watching the movie. Lion King, however, I watched over and over again as a child. Simba steals my heart. <3 Share this post Link to post
Posted November 9, 2011 I know that Kimba came first, but I still prefer Simba. I reeeally love the lion king!! Share this post Link to post
Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) I say Kimba. Wasn't he Mufasa's son who died before Simba was born or something, i cant remember. Edited November 17, 2011 by rogue-fox Share this post Link to post
Posted November 20, 2011 i havent watched TLK recently enough to remember much, but i have Kimba on tape. kimba always looks like a mouse to me. O.o but, i havent watched either to recently so i cant really decide. :< loved them both, for all i remember X3 Share this post Link to post
Posted November 20, 2011 Picked Simba since I'd never heard of Kimba before. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 20, 2011 I picked Simba because I haven't heard of Kimba before until now. Interesting. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 21, 2011 kimba! i watched that as i was a child! *remembering smile* Share this post Link to post
Posted November 21, 2011 Haven't watched Kimba. I like Nala better than Simba. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Kimba is definitely the original, but as far as preference goes, I prefer Simba. Even if he is a copy. ._. This. I can't be too upset about Disney stealing from Tezuka - Tezuka was heavily influenced by Disney to begin with! Edit: If we're going with characters rather than movies, I prefer Kimba. But Disney's movie was much more theatrical aka what one would expect. Edited October 1, 2013 by Zovesta Share this post Link to post
Posted October 23, 2014 I've never really liked the whole "kimba vs simba" thing. I really like both of them. I grew up with simba but kimba has a better character. I like Sarabi and Nala more than Simba though. Share this post Link to post
