Burger King Burger King is giving away these seven figurines from "The Lion King" in its Kids Club Meals. Sales of the meals have tripled since the promotion began on June 20. Big Bucks Follow Track Of Lion King Mattel, Kodak, Nestle, Lots Of Others Profiting By Sallie Hofmeister 1 994, New York Times News Service LOS ANGELES The Burger King at the corner of La Brea Avenue and Sunset Boulevard on the edge of Hollywood is usually dead on Sundays. But in recent weeks the staff has hardly had time to sweep the kitchen floor. Since the store hung cartoon banana leaves from the ceiling and began packing its "Kids Club Meals" with toy characters from Disney's new animated film, "The Lion King," its Sunday sales have doubled and increases during the week have been even more spectacular.

"We used to sell 45 to 70 Kids Club Meals a day," said Carlos E. Meza, the store's assistant manager. "Now we're doing 220 to 300." Burger Kings across the country are enjoying a similar response as "The Lion King" verges on becoming not only the year's biggest box-office hit, but also a merchandising bonanza for the army of marketers that signed up for tie-ins with Walt Disney Co. Since opening to a wide audience June 24, the children's adventure has grossed $150 million. Only "Jurassic Park" reached that level faster.

In addition to being a top movie, "The Lion King" has given Disney its first No. 1 soundtrack since "Mary Poppins" 30 years ago. That is not to mention the sales of books and other merchandise and the promise of profits from the home video and video game. Disney also is using the story to lure visitors to its theme parks and stores. Jessica J.

Reif, an analyst at Oppenheimer says the movie will represent $1 billion in profits for Disney over two or three years. "This is going to break all records, of all time," she said. Companies like Burger King Corp. that paid Disney for promotional and licensing tie-ins to the movie are also feeling flush. The clothes, candy, toys, games, sleeping bags, toothbrushes, sheets, lunch boxes, stuffed animals and other products produced under those agreements are sailing off store shelves, leading some retailers and licensing specialists to predict that "The Lion King" may become one of the biggest movie merchandising successes of all time, too.

"I'll go out on a limb and say $1 billion of merchandise will be sold in 1994," said Ira Mayer, publisher of The Licensing Letter in Brooklyn, which tracks licensing sales. "That's in only six months." Mayer said "Jurassic Park," the movie-merchandising monster of 1993, took longer to achieve that level of success. Figurines Make The Difference Sales of Kids Club Meals by the Burger King chain have tripled since it started giving away the seven plastic movie figurines with the meals on June 20. In addition to Burger King, Disney's biggest licensees are Mattel, Kodak, Nestle and Payless Shoesource, an arm of May Department Stores. Mattel expects its stuffed animals and action figures based on the main characters to have a longer selling life For Disney, the movie is the hub of a marketing program that connects its book, movie, recording and theme park units.

"They have the ability to capitalize on the synergies of their divisions better than any other company," said Reif, who expects Disney's stock to rise to $65 a share over the next 12 to 18 months, based on the strengths of "The Lion King." But Disney stock, which has seen little lift from the film due to investors' fears about falling theme-park attendance, closed off 25 cents Wednesday at $41.75. Lion Largess Disney will not provide details, but analysts said movie licensers typically receive royalties of 7 to 10 percent of wholesale merchandise sales. (Wholesale receipts are generally half of retail sales.) In addition, Disney has its own spinoff products from the movie. It has shipped more than a million books to retailers, and last week "The Lion King" soundtrack landed at the top of the Billboard charts when it sold 271,000 copies. Disney expects all of the cross-promotion to bring people to its 200 retail stores, where Simba creations now take their place beside Mickey memorabilia.

And Simba will not disappear from children's fantasies. A video game will be out in time for Christmas. There's the home video, the release date for which has not been set, possibilities for television and Broadway spinoffs, and, of course, sequels. For licensees, the frenzy and fortunes are more temporary. Burger King's promotion, for instance, ends on July 27, and will have been far oversubscribed.

The fast-food chain had projected selling 30 million Kids Club Meals during the seven-week promotion, but expects to run short of the figurines, having given away 17 million in the first two weeks. To cope, the chain has lined up, to replace the figurines, a supply of trading cards picturing the seven movie characters. than those from "Aladdin" and "Beauty and the Beast," because they are being released in the summer and are expected to sell until Christmas. "Aladdin" and "Beauty and the Beast" were released just before Christmas. Toys Us, which carries more than 200 "Lion King" products from Mattel and other manufacturers at its 581 stores, says the line is doing extremely well.

"We have the highest expectations for the lunch boxes this fall," said Carol Fuller, a spokeswoman. Kodak is giving away tickets to the movie to people who purchase six rolls of film. Nestle is selling chocolate bars molded in movie-scene shapes. In its first tie-in with Disney, Payless has shoes and accessories with "Lion King" figures. 'An Instant Classic' What distinguishes "The Lion King" from "Hook," the 1991 release based on the Peter Pan story, whose merchandise bombed? Or from "The Some Say Japanese Animator Inspired Disney Little Mermaid," which reached the $1 billion mark only after it was released in home video? Or from "The Flintstones," which passed $100 million at the box office in late June but whose merchandise sales have not been nearly as strong? "It's an instant classic," Mayer said.

"We haven't had a hug-gable, lovable main character like this one in a very long time," he added, referring to Simba, the lion that grows from cub to king. Unlike "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin," "Snow White" and "The Little Mermaid," this movie appeals as much to boys and adults as to girls. Indeed, a saleswoman at the Brentano's book store in the Century City Shopping Center said adults were buying the bound version of the story for themselves. And one woman buying dinner at the Sunset Boulevard Burger King said she had collected all seven pint-sized characters from the fast-food chain for herself. LOS ANGELES Walt Disney new film, "The Lion King," is drawing fire from fans of Japanese animation, who say they want Disney to acknowledge that the film owes at least part of its inspiration to one of Japan's greatest animators.

Disney officials denied any link, saying no one associated with the film was familiar with the work of Osamu Tezuka, one of Japan's most beloved cartoonists who died in 1989 at the age of 60. Tezuka Productions, the Tokyo-based company which holds all the copyrights to Tezuka's comics, said if Tezuka were alive he'd probably be happy if his creation had inspired "The Lion King," which has grossed $143.4 million at U.S. movie theaters since opening nationwide on June 24. At issue are the comic book created by Tezuka, "The Jungle Emperor," and an American version of a television cartoon series based on the comic book. The televi American versions of Japanese comics.

Smith said it is unlikely that any of Disney's animators read Japanese fluently enough to have read all the volumes of Tezuka's "The Jungle Emperor." But, he said, it is highly likely that some of Disney's creative team avid fans of animation themselves watched and remember the "Kimba" television series. "No one associated with the film, no producer, or animator or director, has ever heard of this (television series), Terry Press, a Disney spokeswoman, said. "They were asked about it in Japan. They said none of them had ever seen it." Some animation fans note a similarity in the story lines of the two, both of which tell the story of a lion cub who must prepare to become king of the jungle after his father's death. Others, however, say such a story is so common that to suggest influence from any one source is foolish.

sion cartoon series, "Kimba, the White Lion," aired in the United States in 1966. Said Fred Ladd, the American producer of the "Kimba" series, "For anyone who's familiar with 'Kimba' and has seen 'The Lion you can't escape noting the similarities." "The comparisons are obvious," Ladd said. "There are certain inescapable similarities that you don't have to be a producer to note." Ladd and others did not accuse Disney of stealing ideas from Tezuka, but said they simply want the creators of "The Lion King" to admit the influence of Tezuka on their work. "The thing that is bothering a lot of people is that Disney is making such a big thing out of trumpeting, 'Our first entirely original movie and aren't we said Torren Smith, owner of Studio Proteus, a San Francisco-based company that licenses Ss Lst Net 1Kb Tm Owl Stock Sh Lst Net hds Tm Chg Sb Lst Net Ms Tm Chg Sb Lst Net hds Tm Chg Lst Net Tm Chg Slock Dlv as Lst Net hds Tm Chg 9s Lst Net hds Tm Chg Stock as Lst Net hds Tm Chg Stock Sb Lst Net hds Tm Chg DM Stock Dlv hds Dlv From Preceding Page 199 286 189 .96 1 1.50 2 .44 391 271 2017 25V, 2Mt 23 6'A 107 54 4 1249 29 32 183 UIS'A 'A 31 10 Vi Tracer TracSup TrakAu TmsFki TranJn TmsWst TrWstwtB TmNtw RbtPhr RobNug .12 RobotVs RochCS RchCSpf 1.75 RockTen .04 RockySh RogCanN RsvltFns .44 .121 3 6 240 590 UnvEIc UnivFor .05 UnvHId UnvHsp UnvSeis UnvStdM 1.40 UranRes UrbnOut Uromed USBPa 1.00 UtahMod Utlx 6'A 7 'A 2 4 6 34 104 4 34 'A 44 214 4 4 244 4 6'Mi 'At 4 4 Si 11 10 65 30 395 13 137 392 9 745 26 397 164 4 5 64'A RsvttFpf 3.25 Ropak 4 'A 72 6 1545 24 30 12 423 31174 40 19 55 4216 621 175 1SS36 i 177 26 353 1000 4102 147 2065 53 53 1610 648 1098 4 3'A Mt 94 484 2 25 4 104 164 12'Mt 104 8 4 15 'Mi 18 3'! ltt 8 4 3 4 B'Al 1Mi 12 4 404 1 2 4 244 I4'A 6Mt 16'A Swish wt Swisher SvQstTc Sybase Sybron SvtvanFd SvtvnLm Svmix Svmetric Synoptic Svnaiov Svnblo Svncor Svnrcm Svnergn Svnetic Svnopsys Svntlct Svntro SvstSHw Svstmd SystCpl .12 Roper vjRoseSt viRoseB RossStr 69t -v-v- .10) 318 1023 271 870 543 149 45 592 141 100 3 d4- 154 3'A Mi 184 4 NABIO NAWatch NoBncshs NoSdeSv NStarU NorTrst .88 NthOdLb NorldCr .28 Nthrkn NthstCF .11 NthstrHI NwstAirl NwstIB .50 NwNG 1.76 NwSKWr NorkMc NorwIkSv NorwFn J5e Norwood Novmtx Novel Novtus Noven NuHrz NuWst NucMet .20 NuKote A 11 1.12 IB 5 7 803 302) 214 368 20 14 31S 600 1061 .84 533 50 6 894 21 .16 10 26 270 70 84 4 18(8 mi 9 12 28 12'A 'A 684 u244 14 49 5 1143 404 Vlt 101 6 4 54 16 4 18 29 7 4 316 7 4 809 13 4 83 174 331 30 4 430 84 4 285 20 4 538 134 101 11 'A 16 10'A 'A 89 4'A M706 17 2750 38 1278 134 4 99 6 155 1 te 42 16 129 18 'A 16 11 377 8 'A 3 18 4 174 4 4 20 44 Mi RossSv Rotech RotoRtr .56 Rotttund Rouse .68 Rouse pf 3.25 RoylGrip RovOTC 19 SecndB SecBnpf SecCapBc SecCap SecEnvs Sectttl SedaSpc SEEQ Seibel Selcttn Seneca Sepracr Sequnt Seguoi Seragen SrvTch SvcFrct SvFnQuad SrvSIt Shaman ShrlWad SMTech ShnUm ShawGp Sheldl SheltnB Shaoh Sho-Me ShoeCars Sholodgs Shorwd Showbil Shwscn ShutMst ShufMwt Shurgard SieraOn SierSm SierTah SierTuc SigmaC SigmDg 7 4 U264 14Mi Mi 164 I 2'Ai 4 104 4 3 10'A 23At Mi l'Mi 11 144 8 4 44 2 'A 12 4 13 37'A 2 4 154 4'A 4 9 -1 12 'A u36 3 13-4 4'At 5 84 10'A 'A 5 3 4 54 4 12 5'A Vi 7 4 134 4 4 4 ll'Ai Mt 11 'A 214 4 18 4 304 'A 27 13'A 49'A 'A dl 'A 4'A 17 2 14 2Mi Mi 25'A 4 64 4 21'A 44t- qt 134 4At 'At 54 'A 84 4 3 14 4 8'A 4 8 'A 23'A 4 2 'A 4 11 1 9 'A 18 4 7 4 12 9'A 20 17'A 4 10 4 TMt i 8 2 4 21'A 174 1 8 9 3'A In 4 i 'a 514 4 8 6 4 10 164 4 64 4 6 4 -T-T. 787 4219 265 16 277 JO 2216 3 19 410 1518 7 365 75 179 211 1944 182 1862 211 2095 Jt 11 1850 .08 226 IS 1270 443 10 456 .18 21 .40 70 .40 86 65 .60 1298 795 2 .08 76 88 859 339 .88 54 .40 47 29 1.81 7 .28 1683 .04 684 206 1117 7 Rmeind RuraWlet RvanBck .041 RvanF 56 1539 -s-s- SpecHm SpecTch SpctSig Speizmn SphkixP Spiegel Spire SptChatt Sprtmrt SptHrwt SportsL SportsTn Sprocket StaarSur StacElec Stacevs StatBM StdMgt StdMtc StdReg Stanm Slant Staodyn Staples StarTc Starbcks StarcflAu StarTel StatAut StateBsh StFnd SteArt StaStBos StalnCas SteckVn SteeTTch StIWVa SteMMts Steris SterBcs StrlBnc SlrlFnWA StrlFpf StwStv StewEn Stimson Slokery StOttClDX Stott Stratcm StratCp StrKpwt Strwba Strober StrucD Stryker SturtDS TmReCp Tmsnt TranstxGs TrwIBc TwIdHH TwIdHwt TravPrt Treadco TrendUn Tmwck Tricart TriadGtv TriadSv TrianBc TriPacf TricoPd Triconx Tricord TrldMIc Trimark Trimble Trimed Trim Trion Triples Tripos Trtguint Trtsm Trlslar TrovHl TrustNJ TrstNY Trstmk Tseng Tubscp TuesM Tufco Tuscln Tyson TAT TC TBC TCA TCI Int TCeO TF Find TFCEnt THQ TJMl Numar Nutrmax NrCRpI 1.70 Nycor 1.00 42 24 13 186 6 50 155 838 10661 471 26 230 2208 444 66 131 21 1062 104 23 40 .32 32 1.00 154 .40 82 .20 1438 1952 230 2 JO 6 .08 3559 J2 NycorA .16 TNT Ft 37 298 23 5 926 92 162 ion 64 14e 720 190 3955 14 11 227 1146 ,33 46 1.20 15 2241 161 513 .16 52 J8 605 17 2304 856 .10 .220 56 51 3 4 615 10 4 39 22 'A 12 4 Mt 298 3'Mt Mt 11177 12 41 124 1048 Mi- lat 241 21 4 284 21 1A 206 6'A 4 684 15 'A 182 6 50 6 7 4 4-4 685 S'Ml Mi 303 124 44 3 4 24 'At 779 21 -0-0- 8 2'Ul Va 3 74 4 5 18'A 4 4 3 Vi 16'A 'A 344 -3 it-sii "to 4 3'A 4 7 4 4 4 6'A 2'Ai 3 Mt 4A 'A 14 21 4 16'A 3Vi 16 24 28 4 25 1 7 'A 13 14 17 'A 13 'A 6 394 13 84 17'A 4 13'A 17 20 'A 39Mi Ml 16 4 144 'A 264 40 22 104 'A U10 4 B4 4 lS'A 'A 244 4'A 'Mt -Mi 19 34 'A d7 4 30 Ml 4 68.
