For those who are familiar with Tezuka Osamu and his works, it is a
matter of course that his Jungle Taitei (Jungle Emperor) had a strong influence
on Lion King. Apart from the apparent similarity of the hero's names (Leo
a.k.a. Kimba vs. Simba), the character settings and opening sequences are
surprisingly similar. In case you didn't know this fact, just look at the
images below and check it out for yourself.
