	As far as I know, I am the only one IN THE WORLD who has this clip! This clip shows the big scene from the first episode, when Kimba's mother appears to him in the stars. This "lost" version is a different performance by the people that did the famous American dub. It has more beauty and power than what's been available. The whole episode has now been reconstructed; full info at White Lion Restorations. RealVideo format; 2.4 megabytes.
	Here is the opening sequence and theme of the Japanese TV series of Kimba ("Jungle Emperor"). RealVideo 5 format; 1.6 megabytes

	The imagery used in Kimba can be very powerful-- it's often very dreamlike, making me feel like it's reaching something deep within my brain. This song has never been shown outside of Japan. It's from the episode "The Pretenders", and it happens right after Cassius whistles for his almost-supernatural henchmen, the four black panthers. Now, if this doesn't reach in and grab the dream imagery section of your brain, I don't know what will! RealVideo 5 format; 1.8 megabytes
	Here's another missing musical moment, not heard in any English-language version of the show: a song Kimba sings to the memory of his father as he looks for strength and courage to face the insect invasion. RealVideo 5 format; 1.2 megabytes

Leo The Lion Scenes
     (Japan, 1966; U.S., 1984)

Here is the birth of Kimba's and Kitty's cubs from the series which Osamu Tezuka wrote as a sequel to Kimba, showing Kimba and Kitty as adults. It came over here in the 80s as "Leo the Lion", and everyone in it had their original Japanese names, so Kimba is called Leo and Kitty is called Lya. This video clip now contains 2 minutes of footage that was cut out of the American "Leo the Lion" home videos. RealVideo 5 format; 1.2 megabytes

Another scene deleted from the American "Leo the Lion" tapes, Leo (Kimba) introduces his peaceful kingdom to an incredulous human. RealVideo G2 format; 853 kilobytes. Here is the same video clip in Windows Media format. 858 Kbytes.

Jungle Emperor Leo Scenes (1997)

This one is the title sequence from 1997's Jungle Emperor Leo movie. Take some elements from the Jungle Emperor opening and the birth of Kimba's cubs, add a decent budget, throw in a few tweaks at Disney, and this is what you get. This is really beautiful. RealVideo 5 format; 4.4 megabytes
