Maybe some of you already knew, but this is my first time hearing about this particular case thanks to Reddit.
It's not surprising as many of their big movies and stories are basically adaptations of certain dark novels, but if you watched the video above, I'm sure you wouldn't have expected such an uncanny similarity if you didn't know this beforehand. And this is not an "adaptation", it's plagiarism.
Striking similarities between Kimba The White Lion (1965) and Lion King (1994). "488 Japanese cartoonists and animators signed a petition accusing Disney of plagiarism and demanding that they give due credit to Tezuka (writer)"
