| | Tezuka: God of Comics |
 | | Tezuka is known as the Walt Disney of Japan. | | | Manga, which used to be static before Tezuka, became something that thrilled the eye. | | | Disney is accused of lifting Tezuka's work Jungle Taitei (Jungle Emperor) for the Lion King. |

| | Tezuka has said that his early influences were Walt Disney and the New York based cartoonist Max Fleischer. | | | Osamu often left backgrounds static and used a type of animation in which only a part of the image, the characters eyes and mouth, move. | | | In Japan today, Tezuka is honored with the Osamu Tezuka Museum, the Tezuka World theme park(slated to open in 2003), postage stamps with his picture, and the newly established Osamu Tezuka Manga Awards(http://www.kyoto-su.ac.jp/information/famous/tezukao/html). |

| | Tezuka, currently the country's most popular cartoonist, was contracted to direct one of their first feature length productions, Monkey King (seen in the U.S. as Alakazam the Great). | | | The then still young Tezuka was heavily influenced by Disney and especially the Max Fleischer cartoons of the period. | | | Astroboy is sort of the "Mickey Mouse" of Japanese animation, if one equates Dr. Tezuka with Walt Disney. |

| | Influenced by Walt Disney cartoons, Tezuka's early manga were also notable for the extreme simplicity of their style, which pushed the inherent iconic tendency of cartooning to the limit. | | | He is sometimes described as "the Walt Disney of Japan", yet arguably Tezuka's artistic range was larger than even the mastermind behind Mickey Mouse. | | | In his early days, Tezuka's manga were aimed mostly for children: He told tales of buried treasure, wacky adventurers, and robots that fought for peace (in the popular Astro Boy series). |

| | Comic creator: Osamu Tezuka |
| | From a very young age, Osamu Tezuka had been a great fan of Disney animation. | | | Influenced by Disney and old movies, Tezuka has in turn influenced countless numbers of Japanese cartoonists. | | | His first best-selling comic, 'Shin Takarajima' (New Treasure Island) appeared in 1947, followed three years later by 'Jungle Taitei', which was published in Manga-Shonen. |

| | The Osamu Tezuka Manga Museum: A Cultural Monument by Jackie Leger |
| | With its charming theme park as a backdrop, the museum is somewhat akin to the Disney Empire on a smaller and less commercial scale. | | | In 1964, Tezuka met Disney at the New York World's Fair, and although the two creators have often been paralleled, Tezuka remained more low keyed and close to his role as a master cartoonist than his counterpart. | | | A ride up the elevator to the second floor brings you to a small gallery for rotating exhibitions which include not only Tezuka's legacy but also that of new artists and old colleagues, such as Fujiko Fujio the creator of the legendary Doraemon. |

| | Tezuka shows the emotional strain on woodland creatures who have to deal with their forest being logged. | | | Inspired by his great love for cartoon animation, Disney in particular (it's said he saw Walt Disney's Bambi 80 times), he set up Mushi Studios, his own production company, (1961-1973) which became a springboard for a number of influential animators who were to follow, including Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira). | | | Unlike Disney which some people say has replaced its pioneering vision with a corporate mentality, Tezuka's vision remained fresh. |

| | Manga Makers: Osamu Tezuka |
| | With common manga stories running just around forty pages, this 200-page epic caught readers by surprise; a fan of American animation, Tezuka's page and panels layouts incorporated a dynamic use of layout and "camera angles" that brought a sense of depth, space, and movement to the book that comics had never displayed before. | | | Both of these series were soon released to American television, re-named as "Astro Boy" and "Kimba, the White Lion"; and most of the American children who loved these series never realized that they originated in Japan. | | | Japanese animation, something that's now hard to imagine the country without. |

| | Disney's Lion King Was to be a Remake of Kimba the White Lion? |
| | Even if that means a slap in the face for Osamu Tezuka, the "Walt Disney of Japan". | | | In and of itself, it's not a crime that they did take elements from Tezuka's work--there are also elements in The Lion King that would seem to come from Kipling's Jungle Books (not the Disney version) and from a famous pre-WWII Nazi propaganda film (Triumph of the Will). | | | It is my opinion that the creative people at Disney most definitely knew of Kimba as they were making The Lion King-- but somehow, before the movie could be released, it was decided that the tie must be denied. |

| | From the close-up of the boy's face the perspective pans to the driver's seat of the car and the gradual zoom-in of the car racing along the seaside road is almost as if the artist had simply pasted successive frames from a film onto the page. | | | Furthermore, this technique was only employed in the opening scene which has little to do with the main narrative. | | | But the fact that this work as a whole conveyed the impression of something which could only be called "cinematic" testifies to the enormous impact of Tezuka's use of the first eight pages of this work to this opening scene with little relevance to the plot. |
