King Léo

the King Léo (left to France under the name of exploitation Léo, King of the jungle ) (ジャングル大帝劇場版 Janguru taitei ) is in the beginning a Manga of Osamu Tezuka begun in 1951. He saw himself declined by his creator in two animated televised series of 26 episodes in 1965 and 1966, followed by a film.

In 1989, year of died of Tezuka, a new series makes its appearance. The realizer Yoshio Takeuchi ( Cobra , Cat' S Eye ) carries out the adaptation in 1997 of it, three years only after the planetary success of the King Lion of Disney, inspired him even of the work of Tezuka.

A petition signed by 1100 fans, artists and draftsmen of Japanese mangas was addressed to Disney in 1994 to protest against the adaptation without authorization of the work of Tezuka. Indeed, the King Lion, one of largest successes to the Box-office of all times would be directly inspired by King Léo, without Disney not recognizing it.

This last will remain foreign with the polemic and will be declared flattered simply because it was him even a large admiror of Walt Disney.
