| Kimba Vol 1 : 3 of 5 | |

 After visiting the Osamu Tezuka museum in Japan, I thought it would be fun to watch some old anime by Tezuka's studio. Kimba was produced in the 60s, so it's definitely sub-Speed Racer in quality, but pretty entertaining. I was also really interested in comparing the story and characters to Disney's The Lion King, because I've read about lots of similarities - I can definitely see what they mean, too! There's a baboon kind of like Rafiki, the villain is called Claw (instead of Scar) and his cronies are hyena, and there's even scenes where Kimba looks into the night sky to ask for his late father's advice. The story itself is much different, and includes much more interaction with humans (Kimba even travels to Paris in one episode!). The theme song is cool, too - I'll be humming it for days!
