Lions & Movies

        Since the invention of cinemascope at the turn of the twentieth century, lions have always been a favorite subject and theme in movies all over the world. All kinds of movies have been produced about lions including horror, comedy, family, animation, family, adventure, and documentary. What is the animal that Metro Golden Mayer (MGM) chose as the special guest that greets audience at the beginning of all its movies?....
A donkey?...Nope;)

A pig?....Nope..Nope;)
They actually chose a LION...:)....What a higher honor for the lion than to be chosen by probably the oldest and biggest movie production company to be its special guest and ambassador to its audience?:)

        In this section I will try to provide some information about the movies that hosted lions as main characters or even as cameos within the main scenario. There are plenty of movies that included lion appearances, but Iam gonna mention only the movies that I watched and liked or the ones that I didn't watch but my guess that they are also good. I hope you like this entertaining section and I hope you might learn something new about lions in the visual media.....ENJOY!
