Today, I will be talking about the most oddest of plagiarisms that I have so far discovered. It's a television program called Simba, the King Lion, made by an Italian company called Mondo World, released in 1995.

Believe it or not, the people behind this are the same people who made Legend of the Titanic, that insulting animated adaptation of one of the greatest tragedies in the history of humanity that has flying dolphins and a giant Octopus with a Dog face in it. Yet this show was made before Legend of the Titanic came out.

This show directly rips off from The Lion King, and even from Bambi, The Jungle Book and Dumbo.

It's about a Simba clone, living in a generic jungle land, whose father is killed by Human poachers who do not do anything after shooting him (what kind of hunter just kills and leaves the body without doing anything with it?). Simba clone now has to live with a wolf family as he plays with a Bambi clone and is educated by a Dumbo Crow, a Baloo clone and a Kaa clone, among others (like the spirits of nature).
At the same time, a Shere Khan clone wants to take over the jungle, aided by sidekick Kurty the Striped Hyena (is he supposed by like Tabaqui the jackal from the original book by Rudyard Kipling?) as well as some obnoxious monkeys.

Each episode teaches an alright moral, but it is just so hard to take seriously with such recognizable things in it! Yet, characters from The Jungle Book featured here are not copied directly from the Disney adaptation, they are actually copied from an anime adaptation of The Jungle Book.

I tell you, I have never seen anything so direct in its plagiarism before!

Not only that, in Winner and the Golden Child, Kurty is also known as Veegan!
