Did you know;
In the 90s, people got bad because Simba from the Lion King was played by a white kid

Yeah, I remember that. It was Jonathan Taylor Thomas from Home Improvement. After Robin Williams did the genie in Aladdin, star power became a more prominent thing for animated Disney films even though movies before that rarely had big stars as lead voice actor roles.

Funny thing was a black kid did Simba's singing voice (Jason Weaver from Thea and Smart Guy).
