My point is just that it isn't all that crazy to think that Disney may have borrowed from Kimba, that's all.
Sorry, was that from the original link you'd given? I didn't see it.

At this point, though, we're pretty much saying the same thing. Disney was inspired by Tezuka when he created The Lion King, in the same way that apparently Tezuka was inspired by Disney's Bambi when he created one of his own manga. There was no "ripping off" or "stealing," though. Just mutual respect and idolization by two amazing artists.
