I would honestly not be the least bit surprised if you're right and they only added the Hamlet elements to try and distance the movie from Kimba a little bit. It seems like the kind of thing they would do.

No need to apologize. I was trying to make a joke to lighten the mood a little bit and didn't stop to think that it could be read as a dismissal of the very real problems involving Disney's treatment of Kimba. That's my bad and I'm sorry. I can definitely see where you're coming from and you have my full agreement.

I'd take offense as a former English major, except you pretty much just described most of the English majors I currently know...Almost all of my first fandoms were anime/manga and that sort of attitude still pisses me off to no end. Whether you personally like it or not, it's a huge representation of another culture and deserves respect for that if nothing else. One of my most memorable arguments was with this guy who would go into raptures talking about how significant comic books are to American culture, but automatically dismissed anime and manga as completely worthless. Clearly if it wasn't directly relevant to him, it was crap. *facepalm*

I wish we could find out somehow how much was from Hamlet and how much form Kimba, because I think that would be quite interesting in dissecting and analyzing the Lion King, but maybe I'm just bit of a nerd like that. (I don't know if you know, but Scar's counterpart in Kimba is Kimba's aunt, who also had a scar on her face if I remember correctly, so I find breaking down things like that really cool as well as a, 'Seriously, Disney?')

No, no! You didn't mean the joke in a malicious way, and, honestly, a bit of humour in the thread (or any thread) is fine. I have to apologize for my kneejerk reaction!

Sorry for that as well! I just know a lot of English majors despite being a Biology one myself (nearly went into English if it wasn't for Asian parents), and I didn't mean any offense!

I... yeah. I took a creative writing class as an elective and the section about comics... oh boy. Oh boy. It annoys me just as much as people who are into anime and manga dismissing all cartoons and comics from countries other than Asian ones. Still remember the one time my friend brushed off my recommendation of The Sandman because it couldn't be nearly as deep as their Naruto considering a white person wrote it. *facepalm*
