The Worst Thing Ever Made
This is the worst movie I have ever seen. It is truly insufferable and no child should be allowed to watch it. I knew it would be terrible based upon the title card; in fact, I watched it because I enjoy watching bad movies. However, this movie is not enjoyable. SO much is wrong with this film that I find it offensive.
It is clearly taking advantage of the success of movies such as The Lion King, Madagascar, and the Jungle Book. But unlike these, Leo the Lion has no plot, no ingenuity, and no quality. The animation is sickening with the 'vegetarian' lion, Leo, that looks anorexic and vague, unintelligible settings. I have no idea where this movie takes place, other than the 'jungle' and the heart of the jungle that they begin to search for after Leo's mother falls off of a waterfall whilst chasing a zebra. None of the characters are given any context or character development, such as the inexplicably introduced Uncle Lope. I don't know why he is a thing, but his character should not exist in any movie, anywhere. The narrative of Leo the Lion switches from Leo's point of view to Uncle Lope's about 3 times within 1 minute.
I hate everything about this movie, but one of the most atrocious aspects is the "music" that is sung by the creatures of the jungle. The song performed by Maximus Elephante (great name) is a blatant rip off of Scar's song "Be Prepared" in The Lion King. The song about friendship sung by Leo, Uncle Lope, and the band of cubs they collect from various parts of the jungle is trash at best. The pacing, lyrics, and voices are so off that it is painful.
I do not recommend this movie to anyone. Stay far away from Leo the Lion.
