I remember watching the "Kimba, The White Lion" series when it broadcasted in Portugal throughout the mid 90's and it was a very good one (I even loved one of the episodes, it was so touching) This special (that commemorates both the 90th anniversary of Tezuka Osamu and the 50th anniversary of Fuji Television) is really different from the series: it's like it reinvented itself from them, centering the story in our current century and having current important issues included on the story It's enjoyable in many ways: it has good comedy and drama moments and I liked the relationship between Leo and Kenichi. Its animation (art)is great as well On the other hand, the story could have been much better if there would be a bit more of character developement on the leading characters (once more, talking Leo and Kenichi) A good recomendation for the fans of "Kimba, The White Lion" and for the anime fans, all in all
