Just because both SIMBA and KIMBA have a talking bird and a wise old baboon, and the enemies are a dark-maned lion and some hyenas doesn't mean that they have a lot in common.
I especially like the ones showing Kimba's mountainous home, because lions don't actually live much in mountains. "Lion King" even swiped Tezuka's mistakes.

Box Office Mojo notes plot similarities between Serenity and The Fifth Element:
And I've long wondered whether Fifth Element ripped off the "Harry Canyon" segment from Heavy Metal. And Heavy Metal cribbed ideas from... um... just about every movie ever made except for Gone With the Wind and Francis in the Haunted House.
P.S. Into the Blue and The Deep, anyone?

I read Aladdin was based on "The Thief of Bagdad" (the 1940 version apparently).
Yes, but I ment the cartoon had copied the charicters.
