About Lion in the Roar
In the African jungle, King Louis, is telling his son, the future King Louie, that someday he will inherit the throne of the King of the Jungle, and he must act accordingly. But young Louie's posturing and combined with his weak roar and small stature fails to impress the denizens of the jungle, and they all laugh at him. A huge gorilla appears and they quit laughing and scurry away while the gorilla attacks Louie's father. Will Louie save the day?
Directed by Seymour Kneitel, Lion in the Roar leans on a strong ensemble — Jackson Beck, Gilbert Mack, Jack Mercer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1956.
