Adebimpe Adebambo Was Inspired by Lion King to Write an African Animated Film Titled ‘Tejumade’

Adebimpe Adebabambo is the visual artist telling African stories through the cartoon she produces.
In 1994, Adebimpe saw the movie "Lion King" and inspired her to write her own story, entitled Tejumade. She then wrote to Walt Disney that she would like them to produce it, but she received an answer in 1997 saying that they could not produce a story that did not belong to them. 23 years later, Adebimpe produced 'Tejumade' and presented the Silicon Valley African Film Festival, the Ndiva Women's Film Festival and the Cardiff International Film Festival for 2017 on various international platforms. Adebimpe hopes that support for the Nigerian animation industry will improve over time. ...
About the cartoon, Tejumade
Apata is a beautiful and peaceful kingdom but this ethereal set up is threatened by the circumstances of the birth of princess Tejumade—a gift to the royal family through the magical powers of the great Iroko tree and its emissary; Baba Ogbon. She must journey to the dreaded forest to obtain the last gold leaf from the great Iroko tree otherwise, Apata will be destroyed forever. Ika, the evil water spirit stands between her and the safety of her kingdom.
