several of disney's animated feature films have been accused of plagiarizing existing works. the most notable and controversial example is "the lion king", which critics allege was plagiarized from osamu tezuka's japanese manga ジャングル大帝 "janguru taitei" i.e. "jungle emperor" "" and its anime adaptation of the same name (in japan). this tv series was in turn dubbed and retitled "kimba the white lion" for english-speaking audiences by titan productions for nbc from 1965 to 1966, and it premiered on los angeles' khj-tv in september 1966. after "kimba's" original run in the united states ended in the autumn of 1967, the series was shown in syndication on tv stations across the u.s. through september 30, 1978. as a number of media journalists and fans watched "the lion king" after its initial release in 1994, they noticed characters and events in the story resembling those of "kimba". although the two works follow different screenplays, there are strong artistic similarities, and "the lion king" contains numerous sequences that closely match up with "kimba"′s. other similarities are thematically deeper and more pronounced, such as that both feature the theme of the circle of life. alleged similarities in the characters, beginning with the protagonist lion cubs "kimba" and "simba", include the evil lions, the one-eyed claw and scar, the sage baboons dan'l baboon and rafiki, the animated birds pauley cracker and zazu, and the pair of hyena sidekicks (it was a trio in the disney film). "the lion king" co-director rob minkoff deflected criticism of similarities in the characters by stating it was "not unusual to have characters like a baboon, a bird or hyenas" in films set in africa. both films feature the protagonist looking up at cloudbursts in the shape of his father lion, as pointed out by frederick l. schodt. the similarity is alluded to in a scene from "the simpsons" episode "'round springfield", where a parody of mufasa (voiced by harry shearer) in the clouds tells lisa simpson, "you must avenge my death, kimba...dah, i mean simba!".
