Does anyone know the name of a cartoon show that was on in the late 1970's and early 1980's? It featured this little white tiger who was young and got into lots of adventures. There were lots of other animals in it. It seemed to be some kind of anime type cartoon, way before I had even heard of the word!

Yeah I remember such thing too! I guess its name was samba or something..

No it's kimba not samba, am I right?

YES! That was it! The show was KIMBA THE WHITE LION which wiki says was an anime series from the 60's!
Thank you so much! I remember when Disney released the Lion King, I thought that the scenes of the animals running on the plains were straight from that cartoon!
Thank you so much!

Kimba the White Lion [Janguru Taitei] (1965) ?
