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.

My title is refering to the fact that many people are remarking on how unalike the new Kimba series is to the original classic, and how completely horrible that makes it. I say again people, WE GET IT ALL READY! Yes, it is different, and yes, it was toned down. If you don't like, you don't have to watch it now do you? As I said in a previous review, it's all in the eye of the beholder, to the old fans of the original Kimba, the series may apear an insult, but to the slightly newer generation of Kimba fans, it's great! The New Adventures of Kimba is a wonderful series, with well done animation, and the dub is very well done. I applaud the cast of voices. For those of you who belive the dub is the worst possible dub in the world and that it is the worst anime, I dare you to watch Mew Mew Power after reading the first 7 books. Now there's an anime that was torn apart at the seams. For those of you who grew up with the original Kimba series, unless you have an open mind, may not like this series at all, but I have to say, Im growing up with the new Kimba series now, and I love it! Ihighly reccomend it!

Apparently aimed at very small children and the simple-minded, adults may decide that the best aspect of this kiddie flick is the clamshell box with its dual image "Goodtimes Home Video."
