    Worst movie on netflix.... EVER!

    This 'move' (if you can even call it that) is the worst! It makes the emoji movie look like toy story! It's animation is BAD! It's dialog is BAD! Everything about it is BAD! DO NOT WATCH IT!

    so damn boring...

    When i first saw this film was of some user reviews on this movie. after i watched the review on this, got on Netflix and see all of this crap. the plot doesn't make any freaking sense... the characters are lame, the story is trash, the animation is SO ugly, its a Lion King Ripoff, the villian in this is trying to be evil and selfish, the songs are SO damn ANNOYINGGG... and the script is bad. that is all i could say about this trashy movie...

    Would give a 0/10 if I could

    Leo the Lion is about a vegetarian lion who leaves his pride to find the heart of the jungle where he is said to be free from all harm that comes and he goes on an adventure with his friends, where throughout the movie he meets animal friends along the way.

    This movie is just plain awful with parts that make no sense. Ripped off the Lion King and Madagascar multiple times.

    There's also moments where it plainly tries to make the movie longer to fit the 1+ hour time limit. Clips are reused, clips are slowed down for no reason, etc.

    I feel like a lot of characters are very dull. Most characters don't have background stories or a personality that helps contribute to the plot of the film, making them hard to sympathize and connect with the characters.

    Less than ten minutes in as Savanna gives birth, you can hear her moaning for a couple minutes straight. It was extremely painful to watch. (And in a kids movie? Seriously?)

    Even if they wanted to, lions can't be vegetarian. There's no reason other than "he just doesn't prefer meat" that explains why Leo is a vegetarian. The entire movie just feels extremely confusing for me.

    The animation is quite bad, as the lip syncing is horrible and there's some frames where you can see some sort of cloud thing disappear from the top of Savanna's head. But the animation isn't as bad as Joshua and the Promised Land's animation.

    I feel like this movie is worse than Joshua and the Promised Land since I feel like Joshua and the Promised Land actually had a good concept with Joshua travelling back in time to learn about courage and history, but it was the animation that made it a terrible movie.

    This movie makes the Emoji Movie look like an actually good movie. Don't waste your time on this movie.

    Truely Awful

    Poor animation, storyline and script like it's written by a 9 year old. One of those children's films that as an adult is painful to sit through.

      The slow motion throughtout the entire movie is not real slow motion. It's like taking a piece of footage and stretching it out.
