5.0 out of 5 stars This IS the original!, March 18, 2008

This review is from: Kimba the White Lion - The Civilized Jungle (Vol. 9) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Amazon may have scrambled its database again, or the other reviewer may be confused, but this tape -- Kimba the White Lion - The Civilized Jungle (Vol. 9) by Billie Lou Watt -- DOES contain the original 1966 Kimba shows, copied directly from the original 16mm films that were shown by TV stations across the US and Australia. Billie Lou Watt is heard as Kimba, and Isao Tomita's wonderful music graces the soundtrack. This is the real thing.

This review is from: Kimba the White Lion - The Civilized Jungle (Vol. 9) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I hope to clarify any confusion - there are many versions of "Kimba" available. The original (English) version of the "Kimba the White Lion" TV show which premiered in the US in 1966 on NBC featured Billie Lou Watt as the voice of Kimba, a nice theme song sung by a male (with female chorus) which starts: "Kimba (8x), Who's the King of deepest darkest Africa . . ." and music by Isao Tomita. There have been several versions released in the past years, with REVISED soundtracks, a totally different theme song, & perhaps even "re-cut". In 1993 a Canadian release by UAV Enterprises had Yvonne Murray do the voice of Kimba, and music by Paul J. Zaza. In 1994 another version appeared with Kathleen Barr, Paul Dobson, & Brad Swaile. I have nothing against these talents & companies, but if you want the ORIGINAL as it aired in 1966, look for Billie Lou Watt & Isao Tomita in the credits. So far I have only seen (& purchased) these versions on VHS & DVD's available from "The Right Stuff International" (RTS) - Amazon has them (thank you Amazon!).
