Vacation

Lion runs away to paradise, but he realizes that he'll miss Tobias.

Tobias Totz, Lion

He may be retired, but ex-zookeeper Tobias Totz hasn't abandoned his beloved animals, which he visits every day. His very special friend is the Lion, a big, cuddly, fun-loving fellow with a little crown dangling over his head in his cage- just in case anyone should forget that he is the King of the Animals.

Tobias's animals love their zoo, since they can stroll in and out of their cages and gather together to chat and play. It's clear who gets the "lion's share" of Tobias' attention, but all the animals join forces with the Lion and Tobias when it comes to helping each other out, like perking up the sad Lion with some opera arias.

In each episode, the experienced zookeeper and his frisky young lion friend face some kind of challenge- big or small- that they must master with cleverness, positive thinking and cooperation. Though there are occasional differences of opinion between the two, their friendship and mutual trust are strong enough to bring every problem to a happy end.

This TV series consists of 26 episodes.
