YMS Highlights - Kimba the White Lion (Part 5)

Never mind The Lion King, I'm getting the feeling that Weekend At Bernie's was heavily inspired by Kimba.

[@michaelstrong5383]

I remember having some Pokémon VHS's from Pioneer Entertainment, and they included a trailer for the 89 Kimba version. The second the scream showed up in this video, I knew I heard it somewhere before.

Dude, I was thinking the same thing lmao I remember that trailer always scared the fuck out of me as a kid. Also it like, always made me really sad cuz it meant it was the end of the tape haha Was yours the one with the Eevee Brothers, the Snorlax, and the Dark City episodes on it, by chance?

@@thecactussword4304 No. I dont remember the episodes names but it was the one with the episode on the Cruise ship.

[@StarSnowGhost]

ME TOO! THAT'S HOW I FIRST KNEW ABOUT KIMBA. I remember my dad catching me watching that cuz my sister and I watched those VHS all the time and he was all "oh Kimba! Yeah it was like the original Lion King back in the day", which was important to us because we GREW UP on Lion King. Years later he got us a crappy dvd from a bargain bin that had the Canadian dub on it which is just around the same time my sister started actually using the web and that's how we got into Jungle Emperor and knew all abt it's controversy. Ah memories.... 🥲I think I got off topic... Abt that trailer- I think even at 4 I could tell the show was trying to bank off the Lion King but I still wanted to see it cuz I loved animal stuff and I loved Lion King. For anyone curious, the remake series really is the best Kimba property 9/10!

A little off topic, but at 3:05 I read a comment saying "Well Disney is known for its racism." Uhh... Is that your way of defending Kimba? 1. Disney is not the only studio to do racist caricatures. That's a fault of EVERY early 20th-century studio at some point. And Disney's were pretty tame in comparison to Warner and MGM's. 2. Disney's racism does not make Kimba's any better.

[@davistoa]

Pretty sure the guy was making a joke. Wasn't actually defending Kimba, just poking fun at how that's "yet another thing Disney ripped off."

[@Steelwind666]

When I was a kid, we didn’t have regular TV. We had a service called “Sky Angel” that played almost exclusively Christian programming. Kimba was one of the only shows I ever enjoyed watching. Almost everything else was terrible low-budget random Sunday school bullshit made for toddlers. Kimba and Superbook were the only legitimate cartoons they ever played. It should also be noted that I didn’t understand why blackface was wrong until way too late in my life.

5:38 I'm not sure what's up with the log either, but it's a thing that happens all the time in Naruto. And one time in One Piece when they meet a ninja for the first time. I guess it's a trope? Like it's just a way to signify that a character is sneaky or light on their feet, so the grunts initially think it's a log flying at them and not a person/lion? Or maybe it's a superpower that ninjas are assumed to have. Kind of like how vampires hate garlic. It's just a rule that nobody questions.

It’s a video I go back to time and time again because he describes something personal that, I feel, everyone in life goes through.
