I just wonder why Simba and Timon are white... Both are supposed to be african animals, aren't they ?

Because, obviously, they're trying to match the color of the animal, not the country they're from.

Nah, they just wanted to ignore all the Zulu and Swahili music and culture in the film, clearly black African, because white is the default to them and they think it looks better and don't care if it's offensive because only white people matter. If they drew the characters as black, they wouldn't matter as much to them. It's sickening and they know that's what they're doing and the people that defend this know that's what they're doing. Being ignorant about a mane color, saying black people can't have red hair. Oh, yes, they can! Saying there weren't any kings or queens in Africa. Oh, yes there were! I've read through these comments and have seen so much ignorance. It's disgusting and I'm appalled at how they'd sing along to the songs of the Lion King, embrace the movie, but can't stand that the movie takes place in Africa and that as human, these people would be black Africans! It takes place in Tanzania too, so they can stop with the white South African invaders crap they also love to pull.Β

TheReapersApprentice Β And you don't give a damn because white is right, right? Yeah, you'd love to depict a gorilla as black, huh? Isn't that also another one of your racist stereotypes? That black people are like monkeys and gorillas? That doesn't surprise me. The movie clearly pays homage to the African setting of the movie. They even cast black people to play them in the Broadway show. You are pulling every excuse out of your ass to make them white because you want them to be white. You wouldn't be able to stand it or relate to them being black or think it wouldn't look right. Many people in these comments have said the same in their defense of this white-washing nonsense. They would be black. Get the fuck over it. People calling out racism are not the people keeping racism alive. Racism would go on undeterred if people didn't call it out. Were Civil Rights Activists keeping racism alive for standing up against racism? Really? Logic, here people, logic. A weatherman saying it's going to rain is not the one making it rain.Β

Wow I just laughed at this whole comment xD You're just looking for something to be upset about, aren't you? What makes you think that they're outright lashing out at black people? Seriously that's ridiculous. They're just trying to use the color of the animals. The animalsΒ aren't black people. They're animals in Africa.Β It has nothing to do with race. People in Africa are dark, but animals have all sorts of different colors. If I were to personify a gorilla, I'd make them a black person, if I were to personify a lion, they'd be "white" or peach colored or whatever you wanna call it. Because of the color of the animal. Not because of race or what people look like in a certain country at all. In fact, I might not even make a panda Asian-looking.
People like you, however, try to turn it into racism. This is EXACTLY why racism is still around. People like you throwing tantrums. xD It's ridiculous. Get over yourself.
Pah, I'm just gonna block you cuz you're annoying and obviously thick-skulled. I said my part and quite frankly don't really want to get more involved than this.
Oh and before you think I'mΒ racist, I have a very racially diverse family consisting of Polynesians, Asians, African Americans, and Caucasians. But guess what? To me, they're just my aunts, uncles, and cousins.

I love this song because it was the song me and my Daddy sang together. Lion King will always be me and my dad's movie.

Ah, your art is so amazing! I just love your art style; it's so cute! And I love the idea of humanizing the animal Disney characters. (I have thought about doing that as well in the past.) Simply amazing.Β

Two guidos and a hippie. Love it!
Well, they'd most likely be non-white Kenyans, Congolese people, Ugandians, or anywhere else Swahili is found in (especially since Simba is Swahili, whereas the prince himself is African royalty), but I see that you just wanted to match the color of their fur coats with a skin complexion for transformation recognizability.
Of course, contrary to the defenses below, black people don't need to be dark-skinned to be portrayed as black, either; there are plenty of light-skinned Africans. Many black people (urgh, this old term) in general are yellow-skinned, red-skinned, and so forth, therefore I really don't understand what the previous commentators are saying when they say, "they are no black lions, so Simba wouldn't be recognizable if he was black-skinned." You're confusing race with skin color. Yellow pigments? We have them.Β
Though I can also see that the noses in this picture clearly look more like their animal counterparts' than human noses, so it's obvious you weren't going for a racial landscape at all, but whatever looked closet to their animal figures.Β

Might be a bit optimistic. If skin tone was meant to match pelt tone, then the goofy family in the same gallery would have a bit more color.

The "Friends" image, right? Or is there another one...? That one looks like their pelt tones.

Fair, I suppose. On looking at it twice, I think I focused on the color of the fur rather than the color of the face.

Oh, I see. 
However, ever since I made this comment and read more of the deviation's conversations, my perspective on the visual impact of this and the artist's subconsciously blissful ignorance has changed. Not in a way that blames her, but not in a way that denies the bigger picture others have missed, either.Β

The most insidious forms of bias are the ones we act on without conscious thought. Anthro pics like this one can speak volumes about that.

They look so awesome as humans! I love it! The only thing missing is that log they walk over.

I don't see anything racist about this pic, they all look amazing in your style and I especially love the clothes you gave them. Don't listen to all these brats, they think America is the whole world.
