Kimba The White Lion
Kimba Storyline
Before Kimba is born, his father Caeser is killed trying to free Kimba’s mother Snowlene from lion hunters. The lion hunters are hired by the game warden to kill Caeser who is always releasing the natives' livestock as he wants all the animals to live a free existence. Snowlene is taken away on a ship to be sold to a zoo, and it is aboard the ship that Kimba is born in a cage.
His mother convinces him to jump overboard. He later sees the wreckage of the ship in the water and realises the ship must have sunk, with his mother who is now dead.Kimba swims ashore guided by the memory of his father and the voice of his mother with her image being formed from a group of stars in the dark sky.
In his travels to reach the jungle he sees the great cities of the humans and decides if he ever reaches the jungle he will teach the animals to be civilised like the humans. When Kimba reaches his home he is against fighting Claw who has taken over as king of the jungle from Caeser, and it is not until Kimba is captured by hunters and saved by a human that he realises that ‘sometimes you have to fight for what's right.’
He comes back stronger, defeating Claw and, like his father, becomes king. Kimba believes that destroying fellow animals is wrong, no matter what (even though he kills a few in the series), and that animals should not eat one another but learn to farm and be vegetarians.

Did the Disney studio steal Kimba The White Lion and rework it as their "original story", The Lion King?
Jungle Emperor was the original title for Kimba The White Lion.It seems quite simple; Kimba had been kept out of sight in North America for 20 years by that time. And once you can see the two together I believe the similarities are there for all to see.
The names , Kimba - the"K"and Add a "S" is Simba.

In early production stages, Simba was white.
The rights to Kimba the White Lion were tied up in legal battles for many years, beginning when the original production company, Mushi Productions, went bankrupt in 1973. The US contract to the show ran out in 1978. Nobody had the US rights to it from 1978 until 2000.
The Disney corporate stance, that none of Disney's people knew of Kimba before the movie was released, has been exposed as untrue.
