Trivia / Leo the Lion

• Colbert Bump: Let's all admit it; the only reason this film even has a page on here is all thanks to Saberspark.
  • And to a lesser extent, one viral thread on tumblr made the rounds, with dozens of users chiming in as they ALL decided to watch it and document what they saw and how it made them react.
• Creator Backlash: Matthew Mercer is not exactly proud of his role as Maximus Elephante.
  Matt: Look, we all make mistakes.
• Completely Different Title: Was known in Mexico and Latin America as "El Pequeño Rey León" (The Little Lion King), bizarrely enough. Then again, everything related to this movie is bizarre.
• Money, Dear Boy: Matthew Mercer has referred to playing Maximus Elephante as "a paycheck", though he certainly didn't phone in his performance.
• One-Book Author: The only known work from Orietta Borgia or Pierstafano Marangoni. Also the only animated film directed by Mario Cambi.
• The Shelf of Movie Languishment: The film was supposedly made between 2004 and 2007 (all sources indicate a different year), and it only got an English release in 2013. Granted, a Latin-Spanish version came before the English dub.
