Father of the Pride
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 (after Game Over).
The series, 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 series was unsuccessful and was cancelled after one season. Transmission and production were also delayed by the real-life on-stage injury of Roy Horn in October 2003.
Production
In 2002, Jeffrey Katzenberg came up with the idea for the series when he visited Siegfried & Roy's show in Las Vegas: "I thought, I wonder what it's like for those lions. What must life be like from their point of view? [They're] living in Las Vegas, trying to raise a family and earn a living. In animation, we look for those things — a way to look at our lives through a fantasy world. It allows us to take on subjects that are too difficult to do with real people. It allows us to be more controversial. Edgier. There can be parody and innuendo and satire. Things can be sophisticated in a way that even our feature films can't be."

The Pride
by: InMeSanctuary for the broken hearted. Elysian fields harvested for the deary departed. Paradise in those eyes. Crumpled wings that were designed for the skies. The past jonquil's hurtful words. The cruel dreams that taunt the flightless bird.
The pinions have healed. Dominion is sealed in this floating nest. (The breeze & seas will find rest.)
The tempest was contest for true ferocity. Through thick & thin I gave these wings a new velocity. I soared the clouds, I flew proud then curiosity shone from the sun. (My new beginning had begun.)
She shone a smile of sheer beauty, I knew she wanted me, And now its clear my best days are in front of me, For hurt before we swore that love was a nemesis. (Who could've known this was a halcyon genesis?)
She plants seeds that feed all the good within, And there's no greed in the weeds to stop this flower breathing, Love like the hybrid of a rose & an a amaranth. (The halcyon navigates through the viny sky labyrinth)
With amethyst claws & a sapphire crest, I'm all yours. We've both been through the wars. Our blood has stained the sand on distant shores.
As the bird serenaded, the scars they all faded. (The tissue regenerated.) Beautiful seconded chances. A fallen feather dances as the twilight advances.
The past hearts cracked like eggshells between eagles talons. But from the flames they rose, unafraid to upset the balance.
Cerulean mystery, the sea bed's history, the depths inside your heart. Your heart...
