Worst Movie Rip-Offs

I'll start with the most obvious one, Ratatoing which is obviously ripping off Ratatouille. What's even weirder, is that it has a bunch of 4Kids voice actors attached to it.

There's a rip off of Kung Fu Panda called The Little Panda Fighter, it's pretty bad:

There's also a Disney Princess ripoff called Little Princess School, the animation is decent but the voice acting is atrocious (video in Portuguese):

Oh, I stand corrected. Cargo seems even worse than Leo the Lion...

Ahh... same company that made Ratatoing in the first post. I'm not sure I can survive more of that. :lol:

I know about most of these movies because of I Hate Everything :P

Same here :lol: I also know them because of PhantomStrider!

As much as I love The Lion King, it's actually also a rip off:

Oh, you're bringing up that cliché comparison.

I found a list of differences despite the Internet wanting to shove the viewpoint of "Lion King should be hated for ripping off Kimba" in my face.

Simba knew his father, Kimba didn't.
Mufasa was killed by his brother, Ceaser was killed by a hunter.
Simba grew up with Nala, Kimba met Kitty later.
Simba grew up, Kimba didn't.
LK's plot is Similar to Hamlet, whereas Kimba seems to have just about everything short of alien invasion.
Scar is a constant antagonist, Claw isn't.
LK has set characters, Kimba has a lot of one-offs.

Also for plot points:

Kimba's father is the king of a jungle
vs.
Simba's father is the king of a big patch of savannah

Kimba's father is killed by a hunter (apparently) for stealing domestic cattle off human villages.
vs.
Simba's father is killed by his brother out of greed.

Kimba is shipped off with him mother to a zoo while still in her womb, but escapes when the ship founders in a storm.
vs.
Simba is chased off alone by hyenas (after birth, obviously), but escapes when he falls into a field of thorn-bushes.

Kimba nearly drowns at sea, but is taught to swim by fishes and guided to land by butterflies.
vs.
Simba nearly dies in the desert, but is rescued at the last by Timon and Pumbaa and manages his way home without asking for directions.

Kimba is raised by two humans somewhere in the Middle-East.
vs.
Simba is raised by Timon and Pumbaa in an African Jungle.

Kimba is eager to get home.
vs.
Simba is not eager to go home, and is only shamed into it eventually by Rafiki.

Kimba brings the wonders of human civilisation to his jungle home.
vs.
Simba overthrows his tyrannical uncle to allow his land to regenerate.


So, it's not a total rip-off.

Besides they were made decades apart with Kimba in the 60's and LK in the 90's, so instead of seeing LK as a rip-off, look at it like Kimba for a new generation of people. If they were made within only a few years of each other, then I'd be more likely to accept it.

I rest my case

I know there's a lot of differences, but there are somesimilarities, so you can call it a semi-ripoff.

Some similarities:

Simba's and Kimba's names are extremely similar

Both of their father's appear in the clouds

Both Kimba and Simba have a female friend

Both of them have a stampede scene

 

Again, I'm not calling The Lion King a total rip off and it's actually one of my favourite Disney films, I also really enjoy Kimba!

I understand.

Sorry to come off as a ticked off fan earlier. It's just the controversy was being shoved in my face that I felt an urge to disprove it. And as far as I know, neither Disney nor Kimba's creator enter legal battle. To me, it seems There is no point to the controversy except to cause pointless flame wars.

So, we good?

It's fine, I can also get like that myself sometimes!

Really, anything by Video Brinquido, whatever that studio is called.

I don't think they've ever actually made an original movie...
