I don’t even think Disney can use the name, Taka. It wasn’t under their direct publication copyright. TLK6NA was a glorified published fanfic with Disney’s permission and name slapped on it. Here’s hoping that they change the name over time, because man, I can just hear the Kopa worshippers shouting gleefully about it rn.
I’m fucking crying from laughing so hard at this god-awful children’s book. It’s breaking multiple copyrights, tracing Simba, and using 96 Blues Clues backgrounds
It’s as if a kid from deviantART decided to use their traces to slap together a book and call themselves an author
Brat’s still treating fanart like it’s their personal coloring page, I see.
Original done by Panther85
They delete anyone who asks them politely to remove the recolored art. The original was done by DynExia on FA, aka SeekerSkywarp.
Made an overlay, as you can see, it’s line for line match.
Like Claire, I too, had heard about Leonzales’ art theft accusations. After Claire went through their entire instagram accounts, and I having helped with some of the overlays, it’s uhm, it’s not looking pretty for Leon. He’s apparently targeted and harassed small artists out of the fandom, and traces off of big name artists, thinking if he shifts it ever slightly, they won’t think differently. They also think that if they credit the artists, they can get away with recoloring.
@xxtc-96xx never gave them permission, TC even told me personally that Leon never asked, nor had permission to recolor their old art. That hyena is also Kohu-arts’ artwork as well.
What throws me for a loop is that an account is already fighting Leon’s war for them. They’re pulling up all the stops, using all the tactics in the DARVO ammo.
This neurotic stan even accused KingSimba for someone’s death in the comments. Like, actual fucking yikes on trikes, bruh. I’ve been around the block in this psycho fandom, trust me when I tell you that I’ve seen people fake their deaths and claim fake deaths before for sympathy, many of the times as an excuse to steal. This one just turned up the psycho volume. Fucking yikes is all I can say, man. Yikes. Yikes. Yikes.
Dumbass is crossing over into troll territory now. It even says on the original that the artist does NOT want their art turned into lineart.

It’s no surprise now why ScarMurington treats fanart like his own private coloring book. Disgraceful. Disrespectful.
Traced right off of MafumasArt and handed back to them
No concept or self-awareness at all as to why this behavior is frowned upon. Getting the vibe that this person is only cuddling up to popular artists in the fandom in order to score free art.
