This must have been a 90's tv series from Italy, but wow.. such lion king ripoff!
It is called "Simba, the king lion" and is... about a lion called Simba, destined to be king.
He even has an evil uncle with dark fur, that he battles to reclaim his land.. wow.
On the other hand, he has very various friends: a bear that looks like Baloo, a deer that reminds us of Bambi and even mice in pirate clothing (?) We also have an african wild dog that is evil, and the helper of tiger Shere Khan (no joke) He also hangs out with a poodle like white puffy dog.. and this is all set in.. Africa?
Mondo Media (or Mundo media) has all episodes of this Lion King bootleg on youtube.. I must say it is nice to look at, but I laughed at the ripoff stuff.
