About Jungle Emperor Leo

Meet Jungle Emperor Leo (ジャングル大帝 劇場版 (1997)), an adventure and fantasy anime by MADHOUSE and Mushi Production (1997). Here is the premise in a nutshell. What the story covers: This movie focuses on the last half of Osamu Tezuka's revered saga of a white lion's quest to become king of the jungle. Leo's newborn cub, Lune, takes an interest to humans after discovering a music box in the wreckage of an airplane.

Along the way, at the same time, a greedy treasure hunter known as Ham Egg is leading an expedition team of rough-looking men on a trek for the fabled Moonlight Stones, which can supposedly save the world from an energy crisis. Two other humans, (who go by the rather wacky names of Dr. Moustache and Lemonade) try to stop Ham Egg's mad destruction of the jungle.

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Lyre (Chieko Baishou) and Leo (Masane Tsukayama) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. With 1 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
