Yes it is old school anime but it's very cute. Kimba the White Lion is actaully one of the first anime's ever created and so is Astro Boy. It was actaully created as a follow up from Leo The Lion. Well it's about a cub lion called Kimba. Kimba is alot like Simba but Kimba was created first. He is a vegaterian because he doesn't klike eating other animals. He has lots of jungle friends and they meet men and go through all sorts of crazy adventures. And if you go here you can see his picture www.blancolioni.org/kimba7.jpg

If it's in the same time as Astro boy, I assume Astro Boy was more popular because I've never heard of this anime - at least that's me

Lol… I’ve never heard of it neither… XD
The first time I saw the topic, I was thinking.. is this the “Lion, the Witch and the wardrobe?”
Nope.. I've never heard of this anime..... I didn't know anime could be about animals.. I thought they all had people in it as the protagonist.. oh well

yeah well it's really cute ^_^ we have three videos of it. My mum watched it when she was little. and she was born in 1964 so yeah. but it was really popular at the time. I'm sure if you have a look in some video and second hand shops you should find some of the vids.

OK.the name really reminded me of the Lion King..and 'S'imba...so curiousity led me to surf around the net to see what I could find: Kimba was born of wild parents but he also lived with people for some time while he was a cub. When he returned to the wild, he had a dream of uniting people and animals in peaceful co-existence. Kimba The White Lion is a wonderful, captivating series. When first shown in America, it was praised universally for its stories of love, compassion, and strength of character. For me, the most wonderful thing about it was its message of understanding for all life, for the need for unity between humans and animals. Kimba The White Lion has a heart and soul that has awakened and strengthened a love for animals in millions of people. This is a show that deserves to be seen by every person in the world. Info taken from kimdawlion.com They look like disney characters.... Personally, this anime doesn't appeal to me.
