About the Show
Meet the Characters
The show follows the funny adventures of a family of white lions. There's Larry, the dad, who is a bit clumsy but means well. He's the star of Siegfried & Roy's show. Kate is the mom, who stays at home and is part of a special women's group.
Their daughter, Sierra, is a teenager who often gets annoyed by her family. Hunter is their younger son, who is a big fan of Lord of the Rings. Sarmoti is Kate's dad and the grandfather to Sierra and Hunter; he often gets annoyed with Larry. And then there's Snack, Larry's playful gopher friend.
Other characters in the show include Larry's friends Roger, Chutney, Vincent, and Nelson. There's also Larry's rival, Blake, and his wife, Victoria. Sarmoti's friends are Bernie, Duke, and Chaz. Kate's friends are Foo-Lin, Lily, and Brittany. Sierra also has a boyfriend named Justin.
Where It Takes Place
Father of the Pride is mostly set in Las Vegas, Nevada. The lions live in a special place called the Secret Garden, which is inspired by the real Secret Garden in Las Vegas where Siegfried & Roy's actual lions live.
How the Show Was Made
It took more than 200 animators two years to create Father of the Pride. The computer animation was done at Imagi Animation Studios in Hong Kong.
A small team of experienced directors worked on the series. These included Mark Risley, Bret Haaland, Steve Hickner, John Holmquist, John Stevenson, and Mark Baldo. Felix Ip was the creative director for Imagi.
For the first season, DreamWorks created 30 main sets, 500 special items, and about 100 characters. A typical episode uses all 30 main sets and also features two or three new places. The lion home in the show looks like the real Secret Garden in Las Vegas. In Father of the Pride, the Secret Garden has homes for the main characters and their families. It also has public areas like a community bar and a school classroom.
Larry and his family are central to most of the stories. So, their home is the most detailed set. It has separate areas for the living room, kitchen, and the children's bedrooms.
