  Kimba the White Lion
Kimba got his start in a 1951 storybook, "Jungle Emperor," though the little lion was known as Leo as he grew up.
But when Kimba tries to use a downed tree to ram the boat of the hunters, the wildebeests are impressed with his idea and join forces to attack the ship with much larger logs.
Yet Kimba helps the old lion save himself and his son, then prevents his new ally from killing a poacher in cold blood, which wouldn't be fair according to the code of honor they both follow.
