Synopsis
Jungle Emperor Leo (1997) — watch online on iFILM this theatrical anime feature based on Osamu Tezuka's foundational manga, directed by Yoshio Takeuchi. Leo is a white lion who rules the jungle at the foot of the mystical Moon Mountain — and his peaceful world collapses when humans push into his territory searching for "moonlight stones," crystals believed to hold healing power.
Leo must decide how far he will go to protect what he loves. The film carries the full weight of Tezuka's central conviction — that all life holds equal worth — and the theatrical version was his first chance to express that theme without compromise. Voice cast includes Masane Tsukayama and Chieko Baisho.
For an animated family film, Jungle Emperor Leo asks harder questions than most. It earns its emotional ending. Stream Jungle Emperor Leo (1997) online on iFILM.
