Disney's- The Lion King, one of the greatest animated films to date, was a total ripoff of an old Japanese cartoon.

Disney's "The Lion King" bears a striking resemblance in plot and cast to the Japanese-made 60's TV series, "Kimba, the White Lion"
For example: (1) orphaned lion cub destined to be king (Kimba/Simba) (2) father who died in treacherous circumstances (Caesar/Mufasa) (3) annoying busybody bird (Polly/Zazu) (4) wise but eccentric baboon (Dan'l/Rafiki) (5) cute girlfriend cub (Kitty/Nala) (6) villainous hyenas who are always trying to take over.
