The Lion King - Rip-off of Kimba the White Lion, some Japanese anime or something.MetaKnight117

Wikipedia Plot Description of Kimba the White Lion:

"In Africa during the mid-20th century, as mankind encroaches, the white lion, Panja gives the jungle's wild animals a safe haven. However, he angers nearby villagers by stealing their cattle, their food, to feed the jungle carnivores. (In the English dub Panja merely frees the cattle.)

A professional hunter, Viper Snakely, (known as Ham Egg in the original Japanese) is called in to stop these raids. He avoids directly attacking Panja. Instead, he records the sounds of Panja and uses them to trap his mate, Eliza, who then becomes bait in a trap for Panja. Panja is killed for his hide, and the pregnant Eliza is put on a ship, destined for a zoo.

Kimba (Leo in the Japanese-language version) is born on the boat. Eliza teaches him his father's ideals. As a huge storm nears, she urges her cub out through the bars of her cage. The storm wrecks the boat, and he flounders in the ocean. The fish help him learn to swim. As he begins to despair, the stars in the sky form the face of his mother, who encourages him. Guided by butterflies, he makes it to land.

Leo/Kimba lands far from his ancestral home and is found and cared for by some people. He learns the advantages of human culture, and decides that when he returns to his wild home he will bring culture to the jungle and stand for peace like his father.

The show follows Leo/Kimba's life after he returns to the wild, still a young cub, and how he learns and grows in the next year. Leo/Kimba soon learns that only communication and mutual understanding between animals and humans will bring true peace."

^^^

That sounds nothing like Disney's The Lion King, which owes more to Hamlet than anything else.

I know a girl who couldn't have been older than 14 at the time get herself into a coma due to alcohol poisoning. She was 6 times over the legal limit apparently, and the doctors didn't expect her to live. She was like 105 pounds, so it's not like she had a huge body that could process all that alcohol. So while it may cause the "cool factor" to lessen for some kids, it'll also put kids into comas. So no, it needs to stay how it is.XilePrincess

And this happened in a country where there wasn't a drinking age, correct? Otherwise your argument makes no sense.

If it happened somewhere where there was a drinking age, then one could argue that the thrill of drinking illegal beverages leads kids to drinking to the point of coma.

You should start with whatever number KBB gives as the number a Dealership would sell it for. A smart buyer is going to try and negotiate you down anyways.

It was good pilot, but I am a little worried that the show won't last.

Like Deadwood, the show has very interesting characters and settings, but I can't see what the main storyline is going to be that will keep audience hooked throughout the course of the show.

I am not morally opposed to Capital Punishment, as there are certainly some people in the world who do not deserve to live.

However, I know that the Justice System is imperfect, and if there is any chance at all that an innocent person could be executed, I have to be in favor of Life Imprisonment over Capital Punishment.

At least with Life Imprisonment there is a chance that sometime in the future a wrongfully convicted prisoner could go free.
