Loved they didn't copy the Lion King style, Love it was an original type of story, loved they made a herbi the villain. The art style was very pleasing and well made.

[chadgorosaurus]

I like how they made a herbivore villan instead of the usual tiger or panther villan

[maridelacroix]

Magnificent! The details on the trees that will later reveal the animais they represent is just incredible. Actually, every little detail in this short animated video seems to have been carefully studied and executed. Incredible job. And the way the lion defeats a tyrant buffalo and brings Nature back life is just amazing. Kudos to all of you!

I feel like this is a representation of real human kings. They are the servants of their people and will fight enemies with the speed of a cheetah, the graceful movements of a giraffe, the strength of a lion(etc). This represents the lion's hunt, fight, struggle never ends, and they are the true kings of the savanna.

[snwdwg]

you can run away for so long but eventually you will have to fight, give it your all and never back down
the scene at the end where he shakes of his youth and becomes a aged and wise ruler is amazing

[beek]

Finally someone has made an herbivore the villan rather than a carnivore.

[SuperChavon]

it's one of the least times the carnivorous is the good one in a movie

[Tarathathewookiee]

To me, the Lion is the spirit of life and Buffalo is the spirit of destruction. To end the drought and return life to the plains, the Lion had to fight to release the water and restore the grass lands. The Lion's blossoming mane represents his triumph and continuation of the seasonal cycle. That's just how I see it.

[valiantsfelinesmccarty]

Beautifully done it was reminding me of how it must have been like for the animals when the deserts of Africa started to be created and where you can see giraffe Etc carved upon the rocks it is now so desolate you could never imagine that at one time it was a jungle. This was beautiful

[nicoleevans]

Love the art style of the lion!!! Great job guys 🙌🙌🙌

[thibsalvati]

The final scene is insaneee great job guysss🔥🔥💪💪

[gamecrashersinkorporated]

Am I the only one who sung at the beginning?... Yes? Okay. X D

[TjarkoTarnen]

Interesting, very nicely done. If it weren't for the lion keeping balance the savanna would become a desolate wasteland. Like how they introduced wolves into Yellowstone national park and it increased plant and wildlife population and health.

[bambibrosemer]

Astounding representation of the circle of life. Well done.

[anuragrsimha]

This animated story is magnificent. It's remarkable how the animators portrayed the lion realising his place in the woods as king. I also loved the iconic portrayal of how the lion got motivated despite its (temporary) vanquishment from the devious buffalo.

P.S: An alternatively good title for this animation could be "Demon of the Savannah".

[Maleficent]

Love the lore and the art. Fantastic job.

[curranmckenzie]

Forget whatever Jon Favreau was doing, these guys should have been in charge of making a CGI Lion King remake! Well done!

[unstuckme]

This feels like a "Why the lion is the king of the jungle" type story.

[ranis]

It's angle of representation is another level. Lion is not only there to eat animals. But also for save them and keeping natural habitat.

[JurassicLion]

Now this was original and cool. A top tier Lion movie.
