Title (English) Kimba the White Lion(series 1)

Title (Japanese) Jungle Taitei

Advertising
Fantasy Novel

Notes English name: Jungle Emperor or Kimba, The White Lion
Japanese name: Jungle Taitei
The first full colour anime series. Dates: October 6, 1965-September 28, 1966
Number of episodes: 52
Production Company: Mushi Productions
Creator(s): Osamu Tezuka

Classification -

Synopsis Stand- alone episodes with Kimba as cub.

Review An Americanised version of Tezuka's Jungle Taetei. The Yanks credit themselves in great detail but don't get around to mentioning who did the animation! It looks very American too. It has aged rather badly and will be mainly of interest to completists and anime journalists. Shown on Polsat with Polish overdub.
Note that the credits below are correct, but I'm not 100% sure about the image. In addition to the 3 series below there seems to be at least one non-Japanese look-alike series.

Credits Series Director: Eichi Yamamoto
Music:Isao Tomita

Episodes 52
