it's an archetype repeated through human history

@SW-User At parts it's just a step away from frame-by-frame, my dude. That has nothing to do with archetypes.

If we were talking Hamlet vs Lion King, we'd be talking archetypes.

@NorthernRoses from what?

@SW-User "Kimba the White Lion" from 1965. You can even see in earlier statements and interviews that Simba's name was originally planned to be Kimba, but it was changed mid- to early production.
