Revision as of 01:57, 28 April 2017
Father of the Pride is an American adult animated television series that began broadcasting on NBC on August 31, 2004 and was part of a short-lived trend of CGI series in prime-time network television (after Game Over).
The series, which was produced by Jeffrey Katzenberg and DreamWorks Animation, revolves around a family of white lions, the patriarch of which stars in a Siegfried & Roy show in Los Vegas. Despite heavy promotion, the series was unsuccessful and was cancelled after one season. Transmission and production were also delayed by the real-life on-stage injury of Roy Horn in October 2003.
Production
In 2002, Jeffrey Katzenberg came up with the idea for the series when he visited Siegfried & Roy's show in Las Vegas: "I thought, I wonder what it's like for those lions. What must life be like from their point of view? [They're] living in Las Vegas, trying to raise a family and earn a living. In animation, we look for those things - a way to look at our lives through a fantasy world. It allows us to take on subjects that are too difficult to do with real people. It allows us to be more controversial. Edgier. There can be parody and innuendo and satire. Things can be sophisticated in a way that even our feature films can't be."
According to Katzenberg, the series was created for "an 18-to 49-year-old. It's not checking to make sure you don't leave the 6-, 7- and 8-year-olds behind. This is purely an adult show."
East episode cost an estimated $2 million to $2.5 million to produce, making it (at the time of its release) one of the most expensive half-hour television comedies ever.

Trivia
- Father of the Pride was marketed as "From the Creators of Shrek," even though the series was aimed more at adults. This caused problems, with angry parents sending in letters to NBC over the adult jokes in the show.
