I've heard that the plot of The Lion King was actually stolen from a Japanese movie. Is there truth to this?

You’re talking about The Lion King film?  My data says yes, it was based on a Japanese anime.

Which anime was it?

The movie’s name is "A Legend of One's Own" and it's a Japanese anime.  It was made by Osamu Tezuka.

I see. And has Disney ever acknowledged this or given Osamu credit for it?
