Father of the Pride is a short-lived computer-animated sitcom. It was the first television production produced by DreamWorks Animation, as well as the first show to use feature film quality CGI. It aired on NBC from August 31, 2004 to May 27, 2005.Set in Las Vegas, the series depicts the secret lives of the animals who live there. The main characters are the family of white lions (father Larry, mother Kate, teenage daughter Sierra, young son Hunter, and father-in-law Sarmoti) that form part of Siegfried & Roy's act. All the other animals in the Secret Garden (S&R's private zoo) basically act as sitcom neighbors.The series was heavily hyped during the Olympics before it premiered and featured loads of celebrities in regular and cameo roles. DreamWorks had high hopes for it, but before the premiere, Roy was attacked by one of his tigers, putting a pall on the proceedings. Despite this, the duo insisted that The Show Must Go On.However, the series was a flop anyhow for several reasons. For one, it was very uncomfortable to watch the show with Roy's then-recent mauling in mind, even if he and Siegfried enjoyed it. Many airings were repeatedly interrupted by updates on the 2004 presidential election and by that point, there had been such a glut of advertising that audiences were sick of it; it didn't help that, despite the show being meant for adults, it was promoted as being "From the creators of Shrek", which landed it in hot water with Moral Guardians. Plus, the series was too expensive and time-consuming, with each episode costing over 1.5 million dollars to make and over nine months to completenote To compare, an average episode of The Simpsons costs half of that and production is three months shorter.. Some episodes never aired in the U.S. (with one that was never finished being animated), though the entire series was released on DVD.Father of the Pride is mainly remembered now for being one of the most colossal flops in the history of prime-time animation, which prompted DWA to bury this series deep in their animation archives, eventually having more success in children's shows.Ever since its cancellation, petitions have spread online demanding the series' revival; it is unknown if these efforts will succeed. Nevertheless, on July 15, 2020, the streaming service Peacock launched nationwide, including Father of the Pride as one of its re-aired shows.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Sierra and Hunter are usually at each other's throats, with Sierra easily becoming annoyed with her brother. However, in "The Siegfried & Roy Fantasy Experience Movie," they are seen playing a video game together when Larry asks them to move out of the room for his party.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Averted. While Siegfried & Roy are voiced by impersonators, the real Siegfried & Roy are credited as exec producers, making the whole project legitimately sanctioned. But otherwise played straight - one episode has Dick Cheney and Barbra Streisand.

Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag: The animals tend to act like normal animals when working with Siegfried & Roy, but act like humans when they are not in the presence of humans. Occasionally, they will act sapiently when in the presence of humans anyway.

comment
The Bully: Regularly, Sarmoti never fails to spot an opportunity to degrade and mock Larry, praising himself for being raised in his natural habitat in Africa and shaming Larry for being born in a zoo. While never a bully, Sierra has a tendency to jeer at Hunter out of annoyance. Blake is a snob who likes to make Larry look bad, hailing himself as the "real" star of the show. Anthony is the school bully who picks on Hunter. In "Possession," Hunter stands up to him with help from Sarmoti, but ends up attacking pretty much anyone in sight. it is unknown if Anthony will continue to bully Hunter after this.

Papa Wolf: Both Larry and Sarmoti are shown to be very protective of Sierra. In "Catnip and Trust," Larry threatens to disembowel anyone who lays a hand on Sierra when she goes missing. In "One Man's Meat is Another Man's Girlfriend," he only approves of Sierra having her boyfriend over because he thinks the boy doesn't have a penis. Later, when said boyfriend comes over, Sarmoti threatens to turn him into "a rug at some rapper's house" if he gets too handsy.

Parents as People: Larry and Kate are both flawed-yet-capable parents. As mentioned above, while Larry is clearly the more immature of the two, Kate makes just as many irrational mistakes. Even Sarmoti, for as much of a jerkass as he is, is responsible when he feels like it.

Black Comedy In "Catnip and Trust," Larry interrupts a rave looking for Sierra, saying "Sweetie, it's okay. We love you." He's suddenly assaulted by a flamingo jumping into his arms crying about how she doesn't "want to live with mom any more." Siegfried solemnly saying "I'll get the gun" the minute Larry slips off a pedestal. When Roy says that they're taking him to a vet instead, Siegfried says he wishes Roy was there when his grandmother fell.

Pinocchio Nose: Discussed in "One Man's Meat is Another Man's Girlfriend," when Sarmoti teaches Sierra about how to spot a poker player's "tell" (i.e., some involuntary tic they have when they're lying or have a good hand, such as twirling a whisker or sticking their tongue out). He then takes it a step further by tricking his own granddaughter into thinking that his tell is scratching his chin when he lies just so he can hustle her.

Inverted with Duke, one of Sarmoti's poker buddies.

The only one who picks up on it is Sierra, who mutters "*cough*Supergay" when Sarmoti's other friends wonder out loud how someone who understands women as well as Duke doesn't have a girlfriend.

This may also be a reference to Alan Brady from The Dick Van Dyke Show, another character played by Carl Reiner.

Women Are Wiser: Downplayed. While Kate is more mature than Larry, they're on par with each other in terms of parenting capability, and she makes plenty of embarrassing mistakes on her own. Most of the other women in the Secret Garden tend to be shallow or gullible. Even character like Sierra and Lilly who play this trope straight only do so because they're technically wiser than everybody. And even the unfinished episode shows that even Lilly has her moments of ignorance.

Straw Feminist: Averted with Lily from the episode "The Siegfried & Roy Movie Fantasy Experience Movie." While her methods are somewhat odd, her goal is clearly to help women feel more self-sufficient and not to belittle men. She's perfectly nice (if a little condescending) to Larry and also clearly disturbed by Foo-Lin's misandrist statements. The unfinished episode on the DVD even has a b-plot of her helping Sarmoti get In Touch with His Feminine Side, all while having the utmost patience with him.

Faux Affably Evil: Sarmoti pretends to offer advice to Larry in "The Siegfried & Roy Fantasy Experience Movie" by suggesting Larry forbid Kate from going to her group. When Larry tells Sarmoti he took his advice, Sarmoti reveals that he tricked him, intentionally giving him bad advice because he hates him. Blake is civil with Larry in "Larry's Debut and Sweet Darryl Hannah Too," assuring him no hard feelings. However, he secretly rigged the lever in the box in a way that only he can drop into the secret compartment and not Larry. This bites him hard in the end.

Multiboobage: The female pig in the "Donkey" episode has eight nipples. And there's a couple of references to Kate or the other female cats having eight nipples, despite appearing to have humanoid breasts (and real lions only having four nipples).

For the Evulz: In "The Siegfried & Roy Fantasy Experience Movie," Sarmoti intentionally advises Larry to forbid Kate from doing what she wants to do since he states the men laid down the law back in his day. Later, when Larry happily tells Sarmoti he listened to him, Sarmoti reveals that since he hates him, he will not give him good advice.

Take That!: Multiple: In the pilot episode, Sierra and Hunter were watching a movie, whose cover had a picture of a lion with a crown. Anthony compares Hunter to Kimba the White Lion.

Bumbling Dad: Downplayed with Larry. He can still be iffy on the intelligent side, is somewhat immature, makes plenty of stupid decision on impulse and is very uncool in the eyes of his kids, but is nowhere near as idiotic as other bumbling dads and is shown to be just a capable (and sometimes equally as incapable) and loving a parent as Kate. Some episodes have him be downright authoritarian.

Slap-Slap-Kiss: A literal example happens in "The Lost Tale": Sarmoti takes Lilly's invitation to come into her house for tea as flirting and kisses her on the mouth, for which she slaps him across the face. Then she kisses him and he slaps her. Then they slap each other simultaneously. Then they start passionately making out.

Beware the Nice Ones
 Father of the Pride / int_fccd06b6
comment
Beware the Nice Ones Usually, Hunter is soft-spoken and quiet and is frequently bullied by Anthony. In "Possession," Sarmoti teaches Hunter self-defense, but ends up turning him into a monster when the power goes to his head. At Intramural Competition Day at Hunter's school, Hunter almost kills Anthony while sparring with him, only to be stopped by Sarmoti. Later, Hunter secretly kidnaps Snack (briefly acting like Gollum) and begins to torture him afterwards. Eventually, Sarmoti is able to talk Hunter out of this behavior by explaining to him that violence is never the answer. And as mentioned above, Kate goes ballistic when her father tries to co-parent her own children, resulting in her destroying his prized zebra-skin rug out of blind rage. Larry might count as well since despite his folksy, easy-going demeanor, he will attack anyone who would dare threaten his friends and family.
