Last night our friends at Universal Studios Home Entertainment gave us the heads-up about their formal announcement for
Father of the Pride - The Complete Series, which we quickly
passed on to our readers. We bypassed showing you the cover art that was available within the hour, though, because it was early cover art and not the final. Now we've got the final version of the cover art, and you can see it first below!
Universal also made available a more detailed description of the release. Much of it covers ground we've already gone over last night, but here it is in full, followed by that promised look at the final box art:
This breakthrough, CGI-animated comedy is a wild take on the "family" sitcom - it's a hip and edgy look into the lives of a pride of white lions that perform in Siegfried & Roy's Las Vegas act. At work, Larry (John Goodman) is the star of the show, but at home with wife Kate (Cheryl Hines), it's a different story. Each day, it's something new: dealing with his teenager's possible catnip abuse, fighting the urge to eat the gopher girlfriend of his best buddy (Orlando Jones), or agonizing over whether to whack a neighborhood zebra to replace his father-in-law's (Carl Reiner) prized rug. It's no wonder Larry can't remember his own wedding anniversary! He's learning the hard was that it's not always easy being the Father of the Pride. Nominated as Best New Comedy by the People's Choice Awards, this "wickedly funny" (The Hollywood Report) series is "a roaring good time!" (The Houston Chronicle)
