“The widespread influence of Manga is considerable but has received little acknowledgement by Western audiences. The Lion King and Finding Nemo, both fabulously successful films, were based on Anime, and there are hundreds of examples of Western-style animated movies taking their inspiration from Manga,” continues Dr Andre Singer.


Wait, what?

I know the Lion King ripped off Kimba the White Lion but I'm pretty sure that Finding Nemo was a 100% original Pixar idea. Maybe he confused it with Atlantis: The Lost Empire, which was said to be ripped off from Nadia:Secret of Blue Water (which were both based off of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea anyway).
