This is an official release of three episodes from the -second- time Kimba was brought to the TV screen. Some say this is the last project that Kimba's creator, Osamu Tezuka, worked on. It is different, a re-working of the old story, and takes some getting used to for us old fans. In some ways the presentation is disappointing; it feels like the series was altered for a modern Saturday Morning TV audience. The new story arc is interesting, tho, and I consider the series worth seeing. I'll be buying every tape they release.

I was really disappointed. Picked this up, thinking it was the original Kimba. But, the original is available again, so check it out.

i really dont get why you have to be so negative about this dub. i like it and i grew up with both the original kimba and the 1989 kimba. this anime is great in both english and japanese. the original version is of course not aimed towards kids like this dub. but both versions are great. and i think that as a kimba fan, you should respect other fans in their choice. i like both and the newest kimba but i dont tell people to not buy this dub. we should be gratefull that kimba still exists instead of being so negative. if you prefer the original kimba then i respect that but you must also respect me for liking this series of kimba. i'm sure that any kimba might love this version aswell just like me and others. i will always be a kimba fan no matter what. kimba will always be our favorite white lion

Ok, there are so many views on Kimba, I have to put mine in. My God people! You keep harping on the fact that it's not the original Kimba. We get it all ready! To start off my review, The New Adventures of Kimba the White Lion is a wonderful series. The English Dub is not aweful, and neither is the animation! Yes, the story is different, and yes, Pioneer Entertainment toned it down a bit. But the fact is, all stories change! Pioneer Entertainment toned down the story to make it sutible for younger audiences, and, in my opinion, it worked. I started hunting for the New Kimba VHS's when I was 3! And, ever since I've watched it, I've been hooked for life! If you don't like it, don't watch it! But stop ruining it for those of us who do! Secondly, When Kimba was recreated, it changed, but that does not mean it was ruined. It's all in the eye of the beholder. To those who are long upstanding fans of the original Kimba series, it may seem totaly destroyed. To those who are just starting out as a new generation of Kimba fans, or if your love the old and the new, it may seem totaly awesome! Oh, and, when Kimba became "The New adventures of Kimba the white lion, it was not wrecked. You want to see and Anime that was destroyed in English dub? Watch Mew Mew Power on 4kids. Now, in closing, I thouroghly enjoy The New Adventures of Kimba, and highly recomend it.

This movie was great! I hope more like it come out soon."Kimba the White Lion or 'Lion Prince'" are good tapes,too,but this is alot like the frist one,so like it as well.A good story,wonderfull animation.PS T.K. said "That's O.k. But historicly,(lions eat guys like us)!" Oh, let's see...where have I heard this before...Oh,yes I remember.Timon & Pumbaa:"We're talking about a lion!(Lions eat guys like us)!" "Simba copied Kimba."Well,now Kimba copied Simba. Like I care. I think there shounld be a show with both in it,but what do I know I'm just 14 year old kid!But the movie and the old "Kimba" shows are wonderfull.So is "The Lion King","The Lion King 2:Simba's Pride",and "Leo the Lion:King Of The Jungle".PPS "Leo the Lion:King of the Jungle" was once one of Kimba's titles.
