Celebrating 50 years of Jungle Emperor (Kimba the White Lion) on TV!
Latest fanart added to the Fanart page: "Energetic Affection"
Kimba the white lion is the son of Snowene and Caesar (Panja), the emperor of
the jungle. Caesar wanted all the animals in the jungle to live in peace and
freedom. So he helped every animal captured by the hunters to escape from
their cages.
The hunters were angry, but one day one of them, called Viper Snakely,
discovered how to capture Caesar: he captured Snowene, and used her as a bait
in a trap for Caesar. While trying to save her, Caesar was killed, and
Snowene was put on a steam boat heading to a zoo in Europe.
Soon Kimba was born on that
ship. After some time, Kimba wanted to know about
his father, and Snowene told him who Caesar was. She also asked him to return
to Africa, his father's land, where he belongs. So he jumped into the sea from the boat.
After a storm sunk the
ship his mother was on, he started swimming and reached his father's homeland, where
he made friends with his father's friends and became the jungle's king.
