Kimba is a young white lion whose early months were marred by tragedy; his father was captured and killed before he was born, and his mother died after the boat they were in capsized. Now back in his real home, in the jungles of Africa, Kimba is joined by a number of fellow animal comrades including a wise baboon, ever-squawking parrot and hat-wearing giraffe. Though humans often try to capture the animals of the forest, Kimba believes in non-violence and hopes that someday, man and beast can communicate and live in harmony.
When Mowgli was a baby, he accompanied his parents into the wilderness as they conducted research. Soon, he wandered away into the woods and his parents tragically fell off of a cliff, leaving him in the arms of the forest creatures. Now, Mowgli is a young boy. Having been raised by a family of wolves and taught by bears, panthers and even a lovable snake, Mowgli is wise to the goings of the wild. Together with his furry friends, Mowgli learns about what makes him different than the others and has plenty of adventures, all the while steering clear of a vicious tiger who wants him dead...
While Jungle Book has a human as a protagonist and Kimba does not, both are fun jungle-based tales aimed at the kiddies. With animal sidekicks and mentors and an obvious 'humans are bad' sort of feel, they'll appeal to the same audiences.
