Featured in "Zomergasten: (#18.3)" (2005)

Both funny and serious.

You might say this movie is just for little kids but you would be wrong! This movie is for anybody because its about a coming of age tale about two lions, Suki and Linus, who are surviving in Africa. Suki rebels against her mother's wishes and joins the pride, who killed Fleck's mom and are bad lions across the river because she feels nobody in her family understands her at all. In the end for Suki she grows up to becomes a strong yet hilarious lioness. Suki's mom takes wing Fleck but Suki and Linus think there's something strange about him. Linus is at first afraid when he's young but in the end he becomes a strong lion that causes his mom to say and mean "I'm proud of you." It has an excellent ending and this entire movie has tons of laughs as well. By the way, if the voice of Suki sounds familiar to you its the lovely Kate Winslet!
