About

You can stream Father of the Pride (2004) on Peacock with a subscription.

Father of the Pride is an American 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 TV. The show, which was produced by Jeffrey Katzenberg and his company DreamWorks Animation, revolves around a family of white lions, the patriarch of which stars in a Siegfried & Roy show in Las Vegas. Despite heavy promotion, the show was unsuccessful and was canceled after one season. Transmission and production were also delayed by the real-life on-stage injury of Roy Horn.

Carl Reiner brings a sharp, comedic wit to the pride as the family patriarch. This CGI-driven romp swaps traditional sitcom settings for the wild, chaotic social hierarchies of a lion habitat.
