In the Pride Lands of Africa, a lion rules over the animals as king. The birth of King Mufasa and Queen Sarabi's son Simba creates envy and resentment in Mufasa's younger brother, Scar, who knows his nephew now replaces him as heir to the throne. After Simba has grown into a young cub, Mufasa gives him a tour of the Pride Lands, teaching him the responsibilities of being a king and the circle of life. Later that day, Scar tricks Simba and his best friend Nala into exploring a forbidden elephant graveyard, despite the protests of Mufasa's hornbill majordomo Zazu. At the graveyard, three spotted hyenas named Shenzi, Banzai and Ed attack the cubs before Mufasa, alerted by Zazu, rescues them and forgives Simba for his actions. That night, the hyenas, who are allied with Scar, plot with him to kill Mufasa and Simba.

Il y a 50 ans, il y avait près de 500 000 lions en Afrique. Aujourd'hui, ils ne sont plus que 20 000. Pour ne rien arranger, les lions, contrairement aux éléphants, qui sont plus nombreux, ne bénéficient pas de réelle protection que ce soit par mandat gouvernemental ou par décret international . Ce constat c'est l'occasion pour Dereck et Beverly Joubert de lancer un cri du cœur.

The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Composed of habitat neighborhoods such as ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together — a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery. They have less than 48 hours to find a missing mammal.

Walter is given a room in the attic where he finds a photograph of a beautiful woman, who he later learns is Jasmine (Emmanuelle Vaugier), Hub's one true love. Soon after, relatives Ralph and Helen arrive with their children, hoping for a chance at the fortune. Thinking Walter is also after it, they threaten to take him to the Orphanage, making him run away. Walter makes his way to a gas station, and uses a phone booth to call the court reporting school which his mother told him she was attending only to learn she isn't there. The two uncles find him; Hub is glad to see him on his way, but Garth convinces Hub to bring him back home.

When George Adamson is forced to kill a lioness out of self-defense, he brings home the 3 orphaned cubs she had been trying to protect. The Adamsons tend to the three orphaned lion cubs to young lionhood, and, when the time comes, the two largest are sent to the Rotterdam Zoo, while Elsa the Lioness (the smallest of the litter) remains with Joy. When Elsa is held responsible for stampeding a herd of elephants through a village, John Kendall, Adamson's boss gives the couple three months to either rehabilitate Elsa to the wild, or send her to a zoo. Joy opposes sending Elsa to a zoo, and spends much time attempting to re-introduce Elsa to the life of a wild lion in a distant reserve. At last, Joy succeeds, and with mixed feelings and a breaking heart, she returns her friend to the wild. The Adamsons then depart for their home in England; a year later, they return to Kenya for a week, hoping to find Elsa. They do, and happily discover she hasn't forgotten them, and is the mother of three cubs.

Dans une forêt tropicale, les animaux (un hippopotame, une girafe, un singe) se moquent ouvertement du lion, supposé être le « roi de la jungle ». En effet, le lion en question est complètement bête et incapable. Mais piqué au vif, il cherche à prouver qu'il mérite ce titre en chassant un autre animal, un lapin. Pour son malheur, il se trouve que ce lapin est Bugs Bunny. Le lion essaye d'attirer le lapin avec une carotte tout en l'appelant « bunny » (qu'il prononce « pony »). Bugs indique sa présence par un panneau de signalisation de passage de train où est inscrit : « rabbit tracks » . Le lion voit les empreintes de pattes de Bugs, puis une voie de chemin de fer où déboule Bugs dans un nuage de fumée (jeu de mot avec « tracks » : les traces de lapin et les rails du train). Bugs vole la carotte au passage. Le lion lui court après, se trompe de voie (revient en arrière sur l'aiguillage d'un tronçon de chemin de fer), se retrouve avec le lapin dans les pattes en passant à travers un arbre creux. Pendant que Bugs sort sa réserve personnelle de carottes (sous forme d'un étui à cigares), le lion sort ses griffes une à une... la dernière se trouve être une lame tire-bouchon ! Le lion, honteux de son penchant pour l'alcool, la replie prestement. Le lapin, lui, hume une des carottes comme un cigare. Il la présente au lion, qui donne un coup de patte, la découpant en rondelles. Le lapin en avale une avec gourmandise. Il remue ses oreilles. Le lion tente de l'imiter sans y parvenir, et s'énerve. Le lapin, en discutant encore, dit qu'il est supposé avoir peur. Il mime la peur et réussit à s'enfuir avec des cris et des poses de cabotin. Le lion le retrouve chantant et déguisé en ramasseuse de carottes « poétique », avec un grand chapeau de paille. Bugs remarque le lion qui s'approche en rampant. Aussitôt, le lion fait mine de « nager » nonchalamment. Puis il bondit sur le lapin, est coiffé du chapeau au passage. Bugs Bunny se sauve, plonge dans son terrier. Il en ressort avec une porte. Il ouvre au lion qui y frappe, se moque de son chapeau, lui montre son reflet dans un miroir. Le lion en rit aussi. Le lapin en profite pour déplacer la porte. Le lion croit qu'il est enfermé et essaye d'enfoncer la porte. Le lapin l'ouvre au dernier moment, le lion est emporté dans son élan dans le décor. Il revient brusquement et tient enfin le lapin sous la menace de sa patte griffue, quand un coup de téléphone l'interrompt : c'est son épouse qui l'oblige à rentrer. Le lion abandonne Bugs, qui rit de voir le lion ne pas être le chef, même chez lui. Alors qu'il se vante devant le public de l'être, apparaît M Bugs Bunny dans une jupe. Bugs file doux et rentre dans le terrier conjugal en rampant. « Qui porte la culotte dans cette famille ? », demande-t-elle.

At the Central Park Zoo, Marty the zebra is celebrating his tenth birthday, but longs to see the rest of the world from outside his pampered life at the zoo, believing that he can find wide-open spaces to run around in, like in Connecticut. Marty's best friend, Alex the lion, attempts to cheer up his friend by singing Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" with him. Still unsatisfied, Marty gets some tips from the zoo's penguins: Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private. The penguins are similarly trying to escape the zoo. Marty's friends — Alex the lion, Melman the giraffe, and Gloria the hippopotamus — realize Marty's folly and try to follow him. The four, along with the penguins and the chimpanzees Mason and his silent friend Phil, eventually find themselves at Grand Central Station, but are quickly sedated by tranquilizer darts when Alex's attempt to communicate with humans is mistaken for aggression. The zoo, under pressure from animal-rights activists, is forced to ship the animals, by sea, to a Kenyan wildlife preserve. During their travels, the penguins escape from their enclosure and take over the ship, intent on taking it to Antarctica. Their antics on the bridge cause the crates containing Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria to fall off the boat and wash ashore on Madagascar.
