Synopsis
An irreverent comedy that follows the after-hours life of an eclectic group of animals at the New York Zoo. A young lion cub and his father live in the zoo. The cub wants to "find himself" as a lion and escapes the zoo to seek "the wild" in Africa. Led by the father lion, a motley rescue team is formed to retrieve the youngster... and they find out what a jungle a city can be.
