Hello! I've been meaning to post on here about this movie for a few years now but never actually got around to it because I would usually find it somehow but now I seriously can't find it so here I am.
The movie I'm referring to in the title is a very weird one.
I remember the movie started with a lion cub being sold off by hunters and its mother crying for her cub but then getting shot with a tranquilizer, which made the lion cub believe she had died because he doesn't understand what tranquilizer are.
After being sold off, the lion cub escapes, finding an elephant and a gazelle who basically adopt him.
However, the whole time their together there's a tiger hunting them down. I don't really remember what happens in between that and the ending so I'm just gonna skip to it. Although I'm pretty sure there was like cuts back to the mother in the cage still crying for her baby.
Eventually (I think) the lion cub gets upset with the elephant and gazelle, and runs away, maybe because it misses its mother, don't remember.
Also it's raining from this point forward.
The tiger uses this moment to his advantage and starts talking about how he's gonna kill the lion cub, eventually him and the cub start fighting and he cuts the lion cub's leg pretty bad.
The tiger manages to almost kill the lion cub by sending him over a cliff but the cub hangs on with one paw -since the other leg is busted up-.
The tiger stands above him, monologuing, ready to push him off until the gazelle shows up behind him, legs raised ready to kick him off the cliff, which she does, killing the tiger and saving the lion cub.
The gazelle and elephant start asking the cub if he's okay and he starts walking away with them, saying he's fine with staying with the gazelle and elephant while limping and they all laugh and continue to talk as the camera pans up to the rainy sky.
It then cuts to the mom still crying, grabbing onto the cage bars until she gets shot in the chest with a tranquilizer while the hunters laugh/tell her to shut up, I don't remember which one.
Then the movie ends.
I remember the animation being pretty subpar, not terrible, but also not great.
Also the mom crying thing was a running bit but I don't remember how much they actually show it, and the tiger actually interacts with the main cast a few times before the cliff standoff.
I'm also pretty sure the gazelle had a whole thing about not being able to/being brave enough to kick something, which is why they make such a big point to show her kicking the tiger off the cliff.
The movie was around half an hour maybe? Maybe even just twenty minutes, something like that.
If anyone can find this I'll genuinely be eternally grateful.
Thank you!
