It's likely about Japan and her role
A real childhood favorite of mine!
I was seven when I saw "Kimba the White Lion" back in 1966, and was immediately hooked onto the show. I'd tune into WPIX, which my family and I got through cable, and it was a real favorite of mine.
And I think I can see why.
Sometime ago, when I was in my 50s or so, I saw a DVD of one episode that had the voices redone. Evidently, this was done in Canada, as you could occasionally hear a Canadian accent. But what amazed me was how GREAT the story line was!!! This has held up much better than so many of the American cartoons produced in the Sixties. The original theme was also interesting to listen to as well.
I should try to locate more of these episodes to see if any of them jog this 65-year-old's memory!!!
