Thank you so much for your stance on this. I've been plagued by people for years by throwing my name in this whole debate because I've been a Kimba fan since I grew up in the 60's. It's soOOoo refreshing hearing your view on this and Fred Ladd. Every year, Fred would beat on me to get me to "spill the beans" on a movie I never worked on. Though, I did animate my own personal White Lion and Daniel Baboon in one of my episodes on my CZcams channel:)
Did you know Capcom ripped off Astro Boy? It's true. Mega Man is a robot boy who fights evil, he it a robot based off a little boy, I'm sure there's a few screenshots of Astro Boy standing on top of buildings and Mega Man stands on a tall building in Mega Man 2, there are scientists who have built robots that look like children, I mean there's just so many similarities!
So a lone CZcamsr is bringing down an entire memetic, manufactured rivalry and conspracy theory that had to have been going for over a decade...with nothing more than facts and logic That is some David vs Goliath shit right there.
Even if the video does as well as Adum’s other YMS reviews, it won’t gain nearly enough traffic to actually shut the discussion down. People are still gonna perpetuate the “Lion King ripped off Kimba” shit for years to come, simply because they just want to believe that’s the case
CoOlKyUbI96 When are liberals defending this? There are SJW and neckbeards who shit on Lion King because they gotta have the new reason of the month to hate on Disney.
This whole series is stupid, aren’t you aware of the fact that Tezuka literally invented lions in the year 1950? Do your research... lions didn’t even exist before that.
When someone, in the future, makes a documentary on Adum a la Geno Samuel's Chris-chan documentary, this will be the single greatest moment for Adum. He won over the cherrypicking fans.
Dude, not cool. Osamu Tezuka died of stomach cancer in February of1989. He was known as the Japanese Walt Disney and the 1965 Kimba series was the first anime broadcast in color. That's a very big deal. I have lost love ones to cancer and I know firsthand what sort of pain they went through. I can only imagine what he went through, especially with stomach cancer. Imagine vomiting all the time and not being able to eat and possibly having a mass growing in your stomach. and chemotherapy is one hell of a bitch, it will kill you faster than cancer will.
It's surprising how what was supposed to be just a small mention on the review turned Adum into the biggest fan of Kimba and the defender of The Lion King.
Nah I'd say it turned him into one of the most knowledgable people on Kimba instead of one of the biggest fans since he straight up said in a previous stream "I don't like the show"
It's fascinating on how Tezuka's son and the Tezuka company are the smartest people throughout this whole controversy by not turning one of Osamu's iconic work into an argument against someone else's work. If only everyone else who supported Kimba would have listened, especially the one guy who introduced the anime to America.
Michael Strong People who support the Kimba controversy could care less about Kimba and Tezuka. Most care about the “white capitalist Disney is stealing from the little people” narrative and a smaller percentage hates The Lion King’s huge popularity. That’s it.
Adum is right, and as a MAJOR Tezuka fan, it REALLY pisses me off that people only know him as the "Disney rip off guy". Like it actively upsets me. Especially when Kimba isn't evenly NEARLY some of his best work. Being both one of his earliest manga and anime, and being an extremely poor example of his true masterpieces like Phoenix, Buddha, Message to Adolf and Apollo's Song. Honestly thank FUCK for that Dororo anime that came out recently because at least it's SOMETHING Tezuka wrote being put in the public eye to a Western audience that isn't fucking Kimba. Sorry if I commented on these highlights with a similar message before but I'm mad X'D. And Adum gets too many messages on twitter and YT for some random asshole (me) to be like "Yeah Tezuka's other work is really cool!" and not actually contribute anything to the conversation. tldr; Adum's right and the Kimba Conspiracy theorists (because I refuse to call them fans simply based on their behaviour) are assholes who have tarnished Tezuka's reputation and importance.
It's really sad how Tezuka is considered the godfather of manga and created anime the way it is today, and yet people keep assuming he's the guy The Lion King supposedly ripped off of.
The kimba did it first people are the Alex Jones of manga discussion. You end up turning them into white noise, I've never seen this stuff being brought up when talking about Tezuka but it was something I've heard since I was 10.
@dilophosaurus65 well, tezuka popularized most budget saving used in anime to this day. Astroboy is comically cheap. He also scammed everyone and was in the forefront of exploiting work while technically not breaking the law. The big bang of anime production came from people being sick of working for him. But also all the good stuff you always hear. So his reputation is a mixed bag, way too complex to be grasped by the kimba conspiracy guys. They just want to dunk on Disney, they'd never care for him anyway.
@@userSoulguy I bet everyone will try to pretend it never happened or downplay the extent of it as much as humanly possible (yeah... never. That bullshit even made into an episode of the Simpsons, tons of people unironically believed in those shitty, surface level arguments).
The irony of this whole situation, is adum making this video is going to give Kimba way more attention than anyone who made the propaganda videos saying the lion king ripped it off. Commentary channels should cover some of the episodes and how bonkers they are.
That doesn't matter, the point is to make people realize TLK didn't steal from Kimba. If people eventually watch the show because of the review, then that's quite good, because people will see how different they are.
Well its good that he made the video since it just disproved everything on how the lion king ripping off kimba. If anything, kimba ripped off the lion king in the kimba 1997 film.
@@SirGrimLockSmithVIII if those kimba fans were actually fans of kimba, they would completely agree with the 2 hour video. If there are butthurt people then they most likely never seen the shows or movies.
I admire Adam’s work ethic. He plowed through hundreds of hours of work. It wasn’t for an academic outlet or for a paid gig from another business, he used his own time and business to craft the epic retrospective out of sheer determination to debunk the bs.
BTW in the Kimba manga (and I don't think this happens in the anime but I'm not sure) Kimba starts wearing Mickey Mouse-like shorts with suspenders and walks on hind legs as he further tries to elevate the jungle animals to the sophistication of humans. (He becomes disillusioned by humans later on as he grows older thanks to his numerous run-ins with poachers and criminals, leading to him rejecting the human sophistication and why he stops speaking to humans as an adult). I don't see Kimba fans bring that up that much....
That's only because they look for points that works for their own benefit. "There's a warthog in Kimba, and Pumbaa is a warthog. They're the same character somehow, therefore ripoff."
It is no secret that Tezuka loved Disney and liked to reference them from time to time. I doubt they would even know about though considering that most of the complaints come from people that think they have secret knowledge and want to shit on Disney as opposed to actual fans.
@@JogVodka Then he said there was too much Kimba stuff to cover in the Lion King video. Then I saw the YMS Kimba upload yesterday and it was over *2 hours long!* Damn, he wasn't lying
The thing he was agreeing me with at 11:30 was the fact that the kimba crowd has forever attached the lion king to kimba which has arguably made things worse for them
"A producer is someone who tells the artist what to do, and then when the cartoons done, he takes all the credit." That's from Ren and Stimpy, but it seems to reflect Adum's opinion too.
Tezuka Productions NEVER wanted to sue Disney. The confusion comes from a quote where a Tezuka Productions spokesperson said "we're a small weak company, and Disneys lawyers are among the best in the world", but what they neglect to mention is that quote was in reference to colleagues in the industry telling them they should sue, and that's what he was saying in response. And this quote is literally right after the spokesperson says that everyone in the company thinks they are completely different stories.
Thank you for going through all of Adam's streams over all these months. Without these highlight videos documenting the whole journey, it would have seemed way more confusing when Adam "suddenly" drops a 2 hour Kimba review on his main channel.
The 60s series is bad and Kimba has to be one of the most insuferable characters of all time. All he does is force his veganism and "Western is b- I mean Human is better" views on other animals.
@@laimaiu I watched it as a kid then rewatched it recently after reading the manga, I must say it suffers both from only adapting the second half of the manga and condensing half of a manga in a single movie. Scenes change quickly and the 2 plots (Kimba helping the reserchers and Lume in the human world) don't fit with each other, it's unfocused and the big scenes don't hit as much as they could. Not to mention Ham Egg is turned from a poacher whom we also saw the human side of to a generic 100% villain whom has no redeeming qualities whatsovever. The animation is really nice and it's probably the most faithful animated adaptation of the manga
I recently started watching Kimba myself, in part to see if there was any truth to the conspiracy. While I can honestly say that I love it's unadulterated insanity, to compare the Lion King to it is such a stretch it blows me away. No one could make that comparison in good faith.
My mother and her best friend are lifelong Kimba fans. I told her about the upcoming 2 hour video and she went through "oh wow" straight to "oh... oh boy..." in record time.
I am 62 years old, and like the Lion King. Yes it's silly, but I was a teenager when it came off, and enjoyed it, since it was one of the few Anime cartoons to be broadcast in the states. That being said, I have never seen the Lion King as a rip off, of Kimba. One was about a lion who wanted all the other jungle animals to be part of some inter species brother hood, where as the other, seemed to be based on Shakespearean court intrigue. This is like saying the series "Speed Racer" ripped off the film "Grand Prix", because they both had racing cars.
Ah yes, because birds in general are not known to be "irritants." The animals these characters are based on already have these characteristics, they're just being exaggerated and anthropomorphised. This just in, you can never have an annoying bird character because that's been done before.
@The Dark Overlord Dolokhov is recovering. He will be alright, the good man. And Natasha is in town. Your bride to be, so full of life and mischief. I should visit.
Im reminded of the end of the southpark WoW episode except instead of beating a troll, YMS beat kimba and he goes "whats next?" And chat goes "what do you mean? Now we actually talk about the lion king."
12:30 - thats the most devastating part, he has SUCH a large body of work, much of it aimed at adults and done with such mastery, that it KILLS me how much his name is associated with this silly controversy. True fans would celebrate his whole body of work, not myopically examine one piece (possibly the worst piece, btw) ad nauseam for internet points. I highly encourage anyone here to check out his manga masterpieces like Apollo's Song, Ode to Kirihito, or Buddha.
Kimba fan here, but even as an 6-7 year old kid I knew how different it was from TLK and I hated how people claimed they were the same without even watching it lmao
@@michaelstrong5383 Casual Kimba fan but only because I'm a Tezuka fan. As in I've seen a few episodes ofKimba, the movie, and read some of the manga (I like Tezuka's adult stories more) and no. TLK has nothing to do with Kimba.
In Italy aside from Kimba, people in the '80s were very familiar with Princess Sapphire, Marvelous Melmo (known as "I bon bon magici di Lilly") and that crazy, comedic adaptation of Journey to the West, "Gokū no Daibōken" which in Italy was simply known as "The Monkey"
From what I've heard about Fred Ladd not even the original voice cast of Kimba liked him. He even left the show midway through production to attend to "other things"
It's like that scene in South Park where they spend weeks training to kill that videogame troll and when it's over they're like "now we can finally play the game".
It did feel like he paused his Lion King 2019 review just to demolish the whole Kimba/TLK controversy. While I'm still looking forward to his Kimba video, I'm more interested on him continuing to tear TLK 2019 apart.
"I don't know why Fred Lad is doing this". Well, money? He stands to gain a lot if English speaking people look into the dubbed version of Kimba based on his claims.
It's crazy how deep this whole story has been as far investigation goes on Adum's end. What a trooper! This would be a great story to write into a script, maybe a book. Whether directly about the case or a fictional one mirroring it. Wow, sounds like a murder trial than anything. Lol.
If anyone is interested, the Shawn Keller colleague that Ladd and YMS mentioned is named Phil Young. Young left Dinsey in 2002 on not the best terms, after working for Dinsey for about 25 years. www.revealingcartoons.com/exclusives/interview/phil-young disney.fandom.com/wiki/Phil_Young
I just realized this is the exact same thing when people accused Disney/Pixar of stealing the entire Finding Nemo story from some African children's story and Disney won the lawsuit and I was told that the only reason Disney won is because they had "better lawyers and more money"
Imagine being upset that popular lion cartoon gets more attention than lion cartoon you like so you doctor clips to prove a faulty point to win respect points from strangers on Twitter. Disney is guilty of a lot of shit but THIS is the hill people wanna die on? Wild... The video was legendary btw YMS, keep up the good work!
@@beiwubsnsod7378 I honestly don't blame them. Nine times out of ten, the larger corporation is usually at fault. However, people should definitely raise their standards for the few cases that pop up here and there.
Did Adam ever bring up how apparently Tezuka was heavily inspired by Bambi while making Kimba, and was even asked by Disney to make a manga adaptation of the movie?
Btw i did the math to checked how much has Adum watched of Jungle Emperor material (minus the manga readthrough), he have seen 4789 minute of Jungle Emperor and if minus the 1993 Canadian Redub that will make it to be 3821 minute, this is fucking insane dedication on how Adum familiarized himself with this material out of spite that have a duration spanning over two days and to rewatched it for about six months give or take, i have so much respect to Adum for his tenacity, thank you so much for your hard work Adum i appreciate it even if some people do not
It was an amazing journey. Thank you so much for yhe highlights content. Adam, I think you should consider linking these somewhere under the video. Everybody HAS TO know how much work and time you put into this before they even DARE to @ you. It has been fucking incredible.

I am 62 years old, and like the Lion King. Yes it's silly, but I was a teenager when it came off, and enjoyed it, since it was one of the few Anime cartoons to be broadcast in the states. That being said, I have never seen the Lion King as a rip off, of Kimba. One was about a lion who wanted all the other jungle animals to be part of some inter species brother hood, where as the other, seemed to be based on Shakespearean court intrigue. This is like saying the series "Speed Racer" ripped off the film "Grand Prix", because they both had racing cars.
Ah yes, because birds in general are not known to be "irritants." The animals these characters are based on already have these characteristics, they're just being exaggerated and anthropomorphised. This just in, you can never have an annoying bird character because that's been done before.
Let's hope he actually monetizes The Lion King review before it gets to a million views unlike Oldboy (2013)
Honestly you might as well say look, they're both birds.. same!
@The Dark Overlord Dolokhov is recovering. He will be alright, the good man. And Natasha is in town. Your bride to be, so full of life and mischief. I should visit.
19:30 WOW, so that's why this Kimba thing has been going for months
I’m really hoping Adam actually causes a trend with his review. Like he put in so much work in it, and it ultimately destroys the debate.
Im reminded of the end of the southpark WoW episode except instead of beating a troll, YMS beat kimba and he goes "whats next?" And chat goes "what do you mean? Now we actually talk about the lion king."
Adam’s dedication to debunking the Kimbaspiracy shows me he could rule the world if he really wanted to
We did it. We cancelled Kimba!
UWU
The KimbaKrowd was nuked from orbit, is the only way to be sure.
Broke: Ethan vs Keem
Woke: *Adum vs The Kimba Krowd*
12:30 - thats the most devastating part, he has SUCH a large body of work, much of it aimed at adults and done with such mastery, that it KILLS me how much his name is associated with this silly controversy. True fans would celebrate his whole body of work, not myopically examine one piece (possibly the worst piece, btw) ad nauseam for internet points.
I highly encourage anyone here to check out his manga masterpieces like Apollo's Song, Ode to Kirihito, or Buddha.
Kimba review background music: wa wa wa, wa wa wa
me: slowly descending into madness
There are no Kimba Fans, just people who hate the fact the Lion King is popular.
I have never met someone who likes Kimba without adding in *"tHe OnE lIoN kInG rIpPeD oFf LoL"*
@@michaelstrong5383 I have never met someone who likes Kimba.
Pretty sure there are Kimba fans out there, especially in Japan.
Kimba fan here, but even as an 6-7 year old kid I knew how different it was from TLK and I hated how people claimed they were the same without even watching it lmao
@@michaelstrong5383 Casual Kimba fan but only because I'm a Tezuka fan. As in I've seen a few episodes ofKimba, the movie, and read some of the manga (I like Tezuka's adult stories more) and no. TLK has nothing to do with Kimba.
I love how more people have seen these videos than people have seen Kimba.
YMS’s review was so fire it killed Fred Ladd
Jontron: All my life... Leading up to this moment... Has been worth it. Every last second. I am truly blessed.
BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP
Tezuka also made Black Jack, which is actually good, but no one even knows he made anything other than Kimba, which really sucks.
Well i know he made Astro boy which i watched when i was little
And Astro Boy
When I talk to people about Tezuka, I usually get more traction mentioning Kimba than Astro Boy.
Thunder Mask
In Italy aside from Kimba, people in the '80s were very familiar with Princess Sapphire, Marvelous Melmo (known as "I bon bon magici di Lilly") and that crazy, comedic adaptation of Journey to the West, "Gokū no Daibōken" which in Italy was simply known as "The Monkey"
From what I've heard about Fred Ladd not even the original voice cast of Kimba liked him. He even left the show midway through production to attend to "other things"
Canadian CZcamsr destroys 25 year old controversy *UNCENSORED*
YMS’s rage for this old man is nothing short of inspiring lol
Is it really finally over? The rabbit hole's end was finally reached it seems.
"_______ is over" is an LGBT/cancel culture meme
Now to go buy popcorn for the release of the Kimba video.
Wait this means that now all the streams will be about the 2019 lion king ? , those original ones seem like such a long time ago now
It's like that scene in South Park where they spend weeks training to kill that videogame troll and when it's over they're like "now we can finally play the game".
It did feel like he paused his Lion King 2019 review just to demolish the whole Kimba/TLK controversy. While I'm still looking forward to his Kimba video, I'm more interested on him continuing to tear TLK 2019 apart.
Its like watching an anime arc, but then halfway the anime takes a detour with a filler arc. That way the manga has time to go further ahead 😂
He's making his music video first and then getting into TLK remake
Thank you for all of this YMS Highlights
You quickly became one of my favorite highlight channels.
Good Job!
You know, Fred Ladd probably wasn't the only one who thought Zazu was "an irritant" if the Lion King 2019 casting has anything to say about it
this series was basically the documentary behind the making of a documentary
This has been an amazing journey - can't wait for the full Kimba Video!
"I don't know why Fred Lad is doing this". Well, money? He stands to gain a lot if English speaking people look into the dubbed version of Kimba based on his claims.
It's crazy how deep this whole story has been as far investigation goes on Adum's end. What a trooper! This would be a great story to write into a script, maybe a book. Whether directly about the case or a fictional one mirroring it.
Wow, sounds like a murder trial than anything. Lol.
Helllllll yeah. The ultimate saga
The TLK fandom can finally rest as they continue to make new OC’s on DeviantArt.
tezuka is literally the founding father of manga and anime and people keep dying on this hill about kimba. he has other things he was known for lol
Can’t wait to enjoy the fruits of your labor. This kimba video is an EVENT
there was a 2019 movie about lions that definitely ripped off Kimba though
If anyone is interested, the Shawn Keller colleague that Ladd and YMS mentioned is named Phil Young. Young left Dinsey in 2002 on not the best terms, after working for Dinsey for about 25 years.

Not sure how many know this but Fred Ladd passed away recently.
I just realized this is the exact same thing when people accused Disney/Pixar of stealing the entire Finding Nemo story from some African children's story and Disney won the lawsuit and I was told that the only reason Disney won is because they had "better lawyers and more money"
GGWP, it was a journey that I loved but never want Adum to go through again.
Zazoo is meant to be an “irritant” to kids, not adults. If that makes sense. Like he didn’t irritate Mufasa.
Every generation has a legend.
Epic thumbnail tho
This has been such a great ride. Thank you YMS Highlights, you are doing God's work. Keep up the great work.
This was fantastic to keep up with, I’ve been listening to these videos in the background while playing Minecraft
Imagine being upset that popular lion cartoon gets more attention than lion cartoon you like so you doctor clips to prove a faulty point to win respect points from strangers on Twitter. Disney is guilty of a lot of shit but THIS is the hill people wanna die on? Wild...
The video was legendary btw YMS, keep up the good work!
This has been going on for a looooong while, I think the simpsons even made a joke about it
Thanks YMS Highlights and all the work you do! She's kept an organized channel over here!
"They're both birds, they're literally the same character"
Thank you so much for uploading these
We did it boys. It's been real, slices.
PS love the thumbnail
the saga has come to an end
"Faith of the Heart" (the theme from Star Trek: Enterprise) comes to mind.
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME!
@@eacy7deacy GETTIN FROM THERE TO HERE
Truly, he was a Kimba the White Lion
Thus the Kimba saga ends
This was so fun watching it live.
I feel like anybody who buys the Lion King being a complete ripoff do it out of a hatred for modern Disney productions
People are easily manipulated by the big corporation boning over the little guy narrative and thats all it takes for them
@@beiwubsnsod7378 I honestly don't blame them. Nine times out of ten, the larger corporation is usually at fault. However, people should definitely raise their standards for the few cases that pop up here and there.
The lion king has nothing to do with kimba in story, but there was certainly inspiration when creating the characters design.
Did Adam ever bring up how apparently Tezuka was heavily inspired by Bambi while making Kimba, and was even asked by Disney to make a manga adaptation of the movie?
Yeah, a couple times.
Well, it has been quite a trip. Can't wait to see the final product.
This needs to be made into a Netflix series.
Btw i did the math to checked how much has Adum watched of Jungle Emperor material (minus the manga readthrough), he have seen 4789 minute of Jungle Emperor and if minus the 1993 Canadian Redub that will make it to be 3821 minute, this is fucking insane dedication on how Adum familiarized himself with this material out of spite that have a duration spanning over two days and to rewatched it for about six months give or take, i have so much respect to Adum for his tenacity, thank you so much for your hard work Adum i appreciate it even if some people do not
It was an amazing journey. Thank you so much for yhe highlights content.
Adam, I think you should consider linking these somewhere under the video. Everybody HAS TO know how much work and time you put into this before they even DARE to @ you. It has been fucking incredible.
Gosh, I'm so excited for this
They’ll just say Disney forced Tezuka’s son to say that smh
People will lead themselves to believe absolutely ANYTHING. I learned that very quickly when I went to College.
