Father of the Pride is a short-lived animated TV series that began broadcasting on NBC on August 31, 2004. It was produced by Jeffrey Katzenberg and DreamWorks Animation. Despite heavy promotion, the show was very unsuccessful and unfortunately, it was cancelled right away. Transmission and production were also delayed by the real-life on-stage mauling of Roy Horn.
The show revolves around a family of white lions, with Larry (John Goodman), the show's protagonist, starring in Siegfried (Julian Holloway) and Roy (David Herman)'s show in Las Vegas.
