You know what's great? You know where I'm from and so does everyone else, but nobody knows where you're from.

Yikes, that looks pretty bad. Apparently the Disney people continue to deny it though.

it's reparations those African lions are taking back what's rightfully their from those white motherfuckers

I bet Kimba doesn't even have Shakespearean influences.

>>81208291
>it was okay when they ripped off famous fairytales or books but don't they dare touch japanese stuff

Are you some kinda retard? Theyre both retellings of macbeth except lion king is even less original because its ripping off the concept of the retelling.
I agree the animation from disney is immediately and clearly superior but come on, they did a complete 1:1 rip off with no fucking shame

>>81208495

Troll harder.

>>81208495
Disney didn't pretend like they created Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, etc. Lion King was presented like it was original work when it was just a shameless ripoff.

>>81208611
Reading Macbeth is pretty commonplace in American literature classes.

>Matthew Broderick has said that when he was hired as the voice of adult Simba in The Lion King, he presumed the project was related to Kimba the White Lion. "I thought he meant Kimba, who was a white lion in a cartoon when I was a little kid," said Broderick. "So I kept telling everybody I was going to play Kimba. I didn't really know anything about it, but I didn't really care."
>didn't really care

Never change, you vehicular manslaughtering bastard

The point is that it's fucking Hamlet dumbshit.

Wow Kimba the white lion is that old I remember watching it as a kid in the town local channel but thought it was from the 80's. Did anyone knows how it ended?

>>81208918
that makes sense

>>81208310
Kimba's dad dies, or is lost or something, and he travels around with a wise baboon and a parrot, while being hassled by an evil lion and some hyenas.

>>81208310
It definitely lifted some visuals from it, but the plots share nothing in common. Of course, it just lifted it's plot from Shakespeare.

There was some local channel in my country that aired Kimba in the late 90's lmao. I guess they didn't have much money for anything else, they also aired other weird and old japanese shows.

>>81208952
>KINO
they know

>only black lion is the villain
how did they get away with it?

>it's an assblasted weeb episode

>>81209292
Mexico?

If by ripping off, you mean making a much better version.

Copyright infringement doesn't need to prove intent. Which is a way for artists to save face. That way the law can work without calling a huge company or personality a thief.

Look at My Sweet Lord by George Harrison. His song structure had been deemed virtually identical to "He's So Shy'. Nothing at all about thievery, just reperations due.

>>81208399
The people of your country are famous for being ignorant xenophobic assholes.

If you want to count that as a good thing then congratulations.

Sorry about that, let me fix that.

>The people of your country are famous for being fat ignorant xenophobic assholes.

Is that better?

Also, I would rather be irrelevant than famed for my douchebaggery.

>>81209898
That reddit spacing

>>81209408
I missed my point there. Why haven't the creators of Kimba already filed and won?

>>81208403
>kikes deny stealing to make profit

really makes the enzimes in my cerebral cortex oxidize

>>81208399

>>81209932
I just like using lots of spaces, I find it easier to read.

Have been doing it since 2008.

Eat shit and die, reddit can go fuck itself.

>>81208291
>what is homage

This is like saying Interstellar or Sunshine rip off 2001 because they take place in space. You could probably make an exact same image for 2001/Interstellar by posting Jupiter/Saturn and the Monolith/TARS

>>81208337
let's be fair, they fucking improved it

>>81209956
iirc the creator said it was flattering but he didn't care

>>81208952
Holy shit, i'm glad i'm not the only one who knows about this

plus K-pax is so fucking bad

>>81209997
Well, if Interstellar or Sunshine had a giant monolith that was blue instead of black, and a big space ship that was a ball on a long stick and an AI with a big blue eye named Pal and a main character named Rave.

>>81209985
It's so delicious how impotently furious you limeys can get

>>81210114
I am mildly annoyed and not a limey.

>>81210168
Still irrelevant and doesn't understand the difference between ripoff and influence

Basically, any property in existence, public domain or not, should be grateful for the opportunity to be presented in the unparalleled medium that is gorgeous Western Animation.

Oh, I thought you were shitposting at this point.

The film contains references to Shakespearean characters and themes in general, but the overall plot is very much primarily based on Hamlet

>>81208716
Implying it isn't an amalgamation of macbeth and hamlet

Simba is the Swahili word for Lion. You want them to not use that because it's Kimba with an S instead of a K?

Amerikikes being kikes nothing new

Kubrick began filming 2001 in 1965 and it's based off of source material that was written in 1948.

Perfect Blue and Black Swan

Anything by Tarantino has already been made by Kurosawa
