Kimba the White Lion ( a.k.a. the "Canadian" episodes) is an edited edition of the Kimba the White Lion (Jungle Emperor) series produced in Toronto, Canada by Landmark Entertainment Group Inc. in 1993, featuring a new opening and closing theme, voices, and an entirely new soundtrack. This dub was distributed by CEG Distribution Inc. It is recently broadcast around the world, and along with the English one a Spanish dub was also made.

Compared to the 1960s series the episodes are shortened, and are usually only 21-22 minutes long. While the original series had a total 52 episodes, here only 45 episodes are known to have been dubbed for the English version of this release as well as the Spanish version (dubbed in Colombia).

History[]

Fumio Suzuki had plans to show Kimba on television again, but legal battles over the original dub had prevented the show from further broadcast in North America (The rights for syndication had expired for NBC in 1978 while Mushi Productions went bankrupt in 1972). A new dub was commissioned along with a new soundtrack by Zaza Sound Productions in Toronto.
