Father of the Pride is an American computer-animated television series that aired on NBC on August 31, 2004. It was produced by Jeffrey Katzenberg and DreamWorks Animation. Despite heavy promotion, the series was unsuccessful and was immediately cancelled as a result. 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 main protagonist, starring in Siegfried Fischbacher (Julian Holloway) and Roy Horn (David Herman)'s show in Las Vegas.
