While the two movies were allegedly sharing similarities, their art styles were completely different. The Japanese movie stood in no competition for its American counterpart. Even one member of the podcast exclaimed the lion cub in Kimba looked more like a mouse than a lion. This comment got the laughter of all members who noticed the art style of Disney’s version to be better.

Although the streamers still exclaimed at how much of a twist it was that these two movies were similar, Ludwig had already arrived at a conclusion. “Not much of a twist,” he said. “I guess they just made it American.” But they all agreed the American version was cooler than the alleged adaptation.
