Just as the thread title says, are there characters from any movie, animation, cartoon, (etc) that remind you of TLK's Simba? If yes, tell me which one's please, and also why they remind you of Simba. But keep in mind that these are just personal opinions though.
These are all I can think off for now:
1. Kimba the white lion. He and Simba are both the king of beasts, show respect to all other animals, have female companions, try to be good rulers, And not to forget, both of them were raised with other animals away from their parents. There are alot more similarities which I can't be bothered to mention.
2. Aladar the Iguanodon from Disney's Dinosaur. He may not be a lion, but he obtains good leadership qualities (just like Simba) to rule a herd of Dinosaurs. He also didn't get raised by his own parents, but a bunch of monkeys who accepted Aladar and raised him as one of them. Just like Simba who was determined to save his kingdom and pride from Scar, Aladar was determined to save the dinosaur herd from being lead to their doom by Kron, who like Scar from TLK, only cared about himself and being the selfish leader of the herd.
3. Jack Shephard from the 'Lost' TV show. Out of the persons I mentioned above who have backgrounds that are more related to Simba's life, Jack Shephard however, matches closest to Simba when it comes to personalities. Both he and Simba are stubborn, somewhat arrogant, trying to be a good leader, And unsure about how to deal with certain situations such as Simba distrusting Kovu in the beginning, and even exciling him temporary untill Kovu proved Simba he deserves to join his pride, and Jack Shephard showing a great rivaly and distrust to John Locke throughout most of the Lost seasons, except the final season where Jack Shephard admits John Locke was right.
