Synopsis

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.

HomeyTao For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Rectangular_businessman "Father of the Pride" was another of those good shows which unfortunately didn't last very much. And that is pretty sad, specially considering that worst shows are still on air (Like for example, 2Jersey Shore")I admit that are many similarities between "Father of the Pride" and "The Simpsons", but despite those similarities, the show have it own merits. While the animation is just decent without being incredible, the characters from this show are likable enough to make this a worth-watching experience.The jokes were effective and funny, and even when the humor from this series isn't the most original thing in the world, this series is still something very amusing and interesting to watch. I just understand why it gets so much hate.
toonlets I just started watching this show, and I think it's pretty funny. The animation is nothing to get excited about, but it's satisfactory. Personally, I think the writing is snappy, a bit edgy, amusingly crude at times, and absurd. If you're looking for family entertainment you're going to be disappointed, but if you're looking for slightly more adult oriented satire, I think FATHER OF THE PRIDE is good stuff. My favorite parts generally involve Siegfried and Roy, their extremely pampered outlook on the world, and the ridiculous situations they get themselves in. My feeling is that DreamWorks animation, in general, writes more for a grown animation audience and in that, it risks alienating those who still believe animation is only for kids. Seeing Sieg and Roy mock Dick "The Chainsaw" Cheney and "douchy" Al Gore, watching them speed off on their Segways, or turn a Big Gulp dispenser into a Las Vegas extravaganza is funny stuff. If you're 16 or older and like your humor sarcastic, give FATHER OF THE PRIDE a chance. It's got some really good moments.
alex_scales5 So, I'll be as honest as a taxi driver. I never saw the first two episodes of this show, and I have no idea what they where about. But darn it, I've seen every episode from 3 till 6, so I'll pretend I know all about the series!Let's face it, sure, it's not the funniest show on earth. But I hear nothing but negative reviews about the show, and I'm still completely baffeled as to why that is. I mean, one review I saw was written before the writer even saw the show! How in the world can you hate a show before you even see it? Impossible! (Unless it's MTV, of course) I especially have no idea why NBC green-lit this show, my guess being their executives thought "Darn that cartoon network and their ratings! We need an adult oriented cartoon! .... And someone get me a new reality series." But instead they got Father of the Pride, which I'm thankful for since to be honest, it isn't at all that bad! ..oh, and I can't stand reality shows.But, come ON. The show has plenty of funny moments, and to me feels like TheSimpsons meet Dinosaurs! I mean, come on, I've never watched NBC before, and now I have a reason to. I'm not saying the series is gold, but heck, the movie has all sorts of hilarious references, and the episode where Larry and Kate do Catnip was fine! Even if the show isn't to your liking, you have to respect the awesome animation. Done by Dreamworks (Hey, I bet you didn't know that!), the animation is top-notch and to my understanding where very expensive (1.9 million per episode?), so you really can't say it's a waste of time. So, give the show a chance. If you don't like it, fine, but there's a hundred worse shows that need to go first. Like Veronica Mars!
phaylen I was left in utter shock. My family and I sat down to watch the new computer animated series "Father Of The Pride" featuring the voice of John Goodman as a Lion and Sigfried and Roy as prominent characters. However, during tonights episode we were absolutely shocked to hear the grandfather, who had been trying to 'macho' up his young grandson cub tell his elephant psychologist "I was trying to get him to stop being, you know, so homo." This came in a fleet of horribly skewed remarks about women (one referred to as a 'skank') promoting stealing and making cracks about obesity and sex. This adult oriented show is even more adult than I thought, but the animated characters appearing like stuffed toys will make children want to watch, they remember the Lion King, and the characters are named after those from Disney's flick. They have even poked fun at the magician couple insinuating one had a 'relationship' with a male monkey from his act and even went as far as to explore forcing a panda to have sex with another panda. This is careless television, it is racial, filled with slurs and exploitive. I'll never watch it again.
