I recently found this anime series that I found to be my all time favorite "The Lion King" ripoff and NO, IT'S NOT KIMBA!

Here is the Arabic Opening to the series.

Another opening by Christina D'Avena. She's well known for singing the intro in the Italian versions of many cartoons.

I have no idea who originally animated this series though and when because it is hard to believe that the Japanese wouldve made this AFTER 1994.

Here's a short sample of the very first episode of the said series in English nonetheless!

In fact, the most interesting aspect of this show is that it is actually a Ripoff Crossover featuring characters from both "The Lion King" and "The Jungle Book" in the same environment and bearing similar character designs as their Disney counterparts. There may possibly be a Bambi like character in it as well judging from the clips I've seen.

All those rip-offs look terrible. I saw part of Ratatioing online a while ago and It was all bad, right down to the animation.

I think that these might be earlier games by the same company that Mayhem mentioned (the one where they made Cinderella look like a prostitute), but I remember seeing in various supermarkets and service stations in the UK some strange PS1 games that seemed to be short (as in half-hour) animated movies plus a couple of games/activities thrown along with the main feature. The animated movies were complete rip-offs on Disney films (for example, The Aristocats becomes something like Jazzy Cats), but it seems as though the idea of having a movie and nothing but fluffy games is something that Disney stole from this company! Shock horror!

I am surprised hardly anybody mentioned any of the countless animated DTVs that came in the 90s (Goodtimes etc) which were either came close to garnering a law suit from Disney, even if they were simply adaptations of a classic story that Disney incidentally had covered. Whilst I can understand people doing another animated version of Cinderella or Alice in Wonderland, I doubt that had Disney not made their version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame that the number of animated adaptations of that particular story would be so high. I never knew about the insect version of Mulan though. rofl

I can't also help but think that Thumbelina from Don Bluth tried too hard to be a film in the "Disney style". Perhaps if Disney themselves had made a decent Thumbelina movie or had Don Bluth actually tried to make a Thumbelina movie that didn't try to fit such-and-such-a-cliché, then we could all sleep well. I also would like to note some crappy "princess" stationary that I found in a post-office once that was so lovingly inspired by the titular character of Sleeping Beauty. Also, you loved Disney's fairy-tales, so what do you guys think of Susaeta's fairy-tales?

Check out the fin on the mermaid....was she in the middle of transforming???

IT's hilarious how much that looks like Miley Cyrus.

Oh My God. Could they get any more un creative?? At least the BATB one is somewhat different, except Belle and Beast just look like they got beat with the ugly stick...and I just love their dancing movies...

And oh Lord...That Little Mermaid...okay, thats just King Triton in a different outfit, Ariel with an ugly top, and that...witch...appears to be a sting ray...a very ugly sting ray...egh, I think I'd actually rather go on a date with Ursula then her...the only new thing is the sea otter.

Yeah, I think those are the worst Disney rip-offs I've ever scene...They get the Jeremy88 -_- award of the year. Good job on finding the worst of the worst Mooky!

They both came out the same year... I've always assumed they were being made at the same time?

Oh lord this thread is heaven haha
I can't believe that DVD company is still in business!
Do people actually buy them?

Yes! I remember a couple years ago, it was either my mother-in-law or my brother-in-law who bought (by accident, I think) some fake Disney movies for my niece & nephew. I never saw them, but I sure heard about them and I let them know that I was upset & that they shouldn't have bought them & that they should return them ASAP! I don't know whatever happened, but I let them know how I felt.

Somone actually buys them? that's just sad .
About other rip-offs,don't even get me start on Shark Bait.

HAHAHA It sounds like most of their money is coming from accidental sales, seems like they found a good strategy lol

Umm Shark Bait??

oh wow, just when I thought it couldn't get any worse! That one takes the cake lol. How sad! I wanna watch these just so I can crack up at them.

I couldn't believe it when I saw it too. It looks EXACTLY like Ariel. Even the pose is from official Disney artwork, just the colors are different.

I was thinking one day, why these companies haven't ripped off the sequels too and then I realized, they probably saw Disney cheapquels and couldn't top some of the horrible animation and story lines from those.

Couldn't Disney sue...I mean, that's Ariel, just with blond hair!!!

Thinking about it, I think what my mother-in-law or brother-in-law bought was a set with dolls in it...I think that rings a bell. People should know that if it doesn't say Disney on the packaging, it's not worth buying!!!

Bah,it's Snow White,Cinderella (Cindy!!! ),Mulan,Jasmine (Zade!!!??? ) and Tiana (Her film isn't out yet!) goes to school at

Actually it look like the black princess is more of a rip off of Aida

Yeah,Disney should sue them,it's an actual clipart of Ariel just with a different hair color.
Well,I guess that people who thinks that Over The Hedge is a Disney movie are the people who buy this stuff,they see a lame and cheap rip-off and think it's Disney or they don't care .

Aida? I don't know if that princess is similar to her but keep in mind that the company who made it also ripped-off Ratatouille,Bee Movie,Kung Fu Panda and WALL-E,and I think that the WALL-E,Kung Fu Panda and Bee Movie rip-offs came out before they were released in theater so they might already know about Princess And The Frog.

Umm Shark Bait??

Here's the trailer:

Yeah,I really agree with you,one of the sharks reminds me of Chum from Finding Nemo,and the name of the film-Shark Bait,the nickname that the Tank Gang gave Nemo.
Also the fishes (Pi and Crodilia?) reminds me of Oscar and Angie from Shark Tale but that's ripping-off DreamWorks.
Oh,and too bad those divers didn't kidnapped Cordilia insted of taking pictures of her like she's a super model.
