Today I learned in old EU when in hiding Lando dressed as such
2013-01-31_101429_Lando_Drebble.jpg

Got me thinking about when in universe a character steals a look of another pop culture icon that doesn't exist in their's.

Another example is Coonie from Steven Universe in Gohan's training GI.

Not outfits, but The Lion King stole entire looks from Osamu Tezuka's Kimba the White Lion.

Anyone who claims that Lion King is based on Hamlet is Hyena food.

Bruce Lee's yellow-and-black tracksuit from Game of Death has been copied many times.

He's the guy who you see in the "You are already dead" memes.
No, sorry, that's Ryo Saeba. Easy mistake to make.
I mean, apart from the fact that none of them look that much alike. Also, yeah, it's basically Hamlet.
I'm sure that video's as convincing, and as conclusive as your image comparison.
What is it about this thread that's pulling out the trolls?

I mean, Wikipedia talks about it and it was a controversy back in the 90s. The Simpsons joked about it.

Oh, the Simpsons. That's where I go for my hard hitting investigative journalism.

*discrediting evidence without even looking at it*

Oh, look, I watched it, and it's just coincidental occurances of animation, (with the sole exeception of the one with scar killing Simba's dad, and the corresponding scene in kimba.)

0f41da3f6c.png


That doesn't look that similar to me. Plus, one's a storyboard, and thus wasn't in the movie.

fc598c4dc5.png


Storyboard, again. He's in the movie, why didn't they use a shot of him from the movie (possibly because they don't look that similar?) But I mean, who's ever seen a mandrill before Kimba.


e8aac21c15.png


No one's ever put birds in an animated feature before Kimba, I guess?

c18e103d22.png


They don't really look the same. I mean, warthogs are in africa? Are we counting all usages of animals in africa as stolen elements from Kimba? (oh, and now we use a shot from the movie? Okay)


226bd5f447.png


...The only way they could've come up with the idea of showing him walking away from the camera is to have stolen it?

b68da1ccaf.png


Different color, different design....and the kimba one isn't the one who kills kimba's dad, so...um, are we counting the fact that they both have lions as a stolen element? Allright.

f1cc6e2ae0.png


The only way they could've thought to use hyenas in a movie set in africa (where they're indigenous) is to steal it from Kimba. Got it.

0a8b3a92e1.png


Yeah, okay, that's...semi close. I mean, they're kind of different, but eh.

Anyway, I eagerly await you telling me that my mind was made up, and I went into the film looking to find flaws with his arguement, and therefore I didn't give it a fair chance.

I already got the joke. Hahaha. I'm laughing.

Well of course you weren't convinced, you'd have to admit you were wrong.

Is that how arguments work? If people don't agree with you, it's because they don't want to admit they're wrong, and not because they don't agree with your conclusions? Man, I wish that's how arguments worked for me. It'd be so much easier if I just got to claim victory before I even started arguing.

Yah, and then I watched it, and it turns out I was right. They weren't convincing? What, you think that the ONLY reason I don't find them convincing is because I don't want to admit I was wrong? If that's your premise, we're done here. Toodles.

Well, no, I didn't want to have a huge ass post with all the other image comparisons, because I didn't think that would be welcome. But, since you seem to know what I think better than I do, you can continue this conversation without me.

It's no use.
Sandstar's either a Disney lawyer or insistent on keeping up the trolling act.

Tezuka would've been honored to know a Disney movie took so much inspiration from his work honestly.

Wow, I didn't get round to watching the video, but your comparisons convinced me more than anyone else's post that TLK took a lot from Kimba. Cheers man :).

I've never seen someone this deep in denial. I get it though, its hard to see something you love for what it really is.
