Between the Lions

Season 2 (25 Episodes)

9 Seasons 2001 TV-Y 30m 7.2

Live-action and animation blend together in this educational fantasy about a family of lions running a library filled with adventurous and musical books.

Lions Theo and Cleo and their cubs Lionel and Leona have many adventures at their library. Usually surrounding the many books within. Whether a daring story about Cliff Hanger, a vocabulary lesson from Chicken Jane, a song from the Monkey Pop-Up Theater and the Vowelles, as well as the lion family in a few zany skits of their own, such as Theo and Cleo as French chefs or Theo and Cleo as pop singers. There's no telling what can happen when you read...Between the Lions!
