Animal Crackers is a Franco-Canadian animated series that aired on Teletoon in 1997, and based on a comic strip created by Roger Bollen that's been running in newspapers since 1967. It was produced by Canada's Cinar and the French studio Alphanim. The series is set in the fictional land of Freeborn, and follows the lives of several of its animal inhabitants. Lyle: A lion who is anything but a King of Beasts. He's a passive Momma's Boy whose main goal appears to be to get Lana to date him, despite how clear she makes it that she doesn't quite feel that way about him. In fact, whenever Lyle tries to do something to get her to like him, it usually gets sabotaged. Dodo: The last dodo in existence, who is always trying to fly, and utterly refuses to accept that dodos are flightless birds. He's Lyle's best friend. Eugene: An elephant and a bully who hogs the watering hole, beats up anyone who tries to stand up to him, and enjoys stomping petunias as a hobby. Gnu: A gnu who leads a local herd. He is, however, lazy and timid, and often has a bad sense of direction. As a result, his herd are rather eager to get away from him. He's also a single father trying to do right by his son. Lana: A lioness, and the object of Lyle's affections, despite her frequent rebuffs of this.The show also adds multiple new characters into the fold. The cartoon ran from September 7, 1997, to September 12, 1999, and had three seasons, with a total of 39 episodes.Not to be confused with the 1930 musical comedy starring The Marx Brothers, or the 2017 animated film released on Netflix.

comment
Carnivore Confusion: Despite the animals being anthropomorphic, they're still animals and therefore there's still predator-prey relationships. And yet, the carnivores can go vegetarian.

Malingering Romance Ploy: In one episode, Lyle gets bitten by a snake. Neither he nor Dodo are sure if the snake is poisonous, so Lyle is convinced he's doomed. However, he soon realizes that Lana might take care of him if she finds this out, and tells her after saving her from being trampled by Gnu's herd. She proceeds to take him home and wait on him hand and paw. Later, the snake gets washed and Dodo discovers she isn't poisonous. Lana gets angry at Lyle for his ignorance and storms out.
