The story

Taking place in a jungle, the film is about an anthropomorphic lion named King Maximilian III, a grumpy, selfish and obnoxious king who rules the main part of the jungle in an unpopular monarchy. He constantly makes preposterous laws and oppresses his subjects, though he is oblivious to how much he is hated by the angry animal citizens, due to how his main servants, the hyena Chancellor (with his dancing parrot assistant, Ricardo) and gorilla General Glump, constantly flatter and cajole towards him. One of the few cases where Max is astute to political problems is when he inspects his troops on parade and remarks how undisciplined they are.
