The Little Lion King 3D

The Little Lion King is a 2013 Chinese 14-minute low-budget CGI animated short film created by Behind The Scenes Media in Singapore.

Plot
A little lion named Sinbad tries to find a way to get to the zoo to see his mother, but he must get help from an elephant named Uncle Elephant and a gazelle named Kelly while avoiding a duo of mean hyenas.

Why It's Too Much For Kids

 * 1) The movie is a ripoff of The Lion King in a number of ways:
 * 2) * The title was obviously made only to cash in on said film.
 * 3) * The protagonist's name, Sinbad, sounds similar to Simba's name.
 * 4) The movie's plot is nonsensical.
 * 5) Sinbad goes on a quest to find his mother at the zoo at first, but later doesn't care at the middle.
 * 6) The animation is terrible and cheap, as it looks like some graphics from an old PlayStation/Nintendo 64 video game.
 * 7) The characters are bland and also poorly-modeled, especially Sinbad, who looks too similar to Simba from The Lion King.
 * 8) Bad voice acting with poor lip-syncing to go with it.
 * 9) Laughable dialogue.
 * 10) Sequel baiting: The ending is completely unnecessary, confusing, and a huge cliffhanger, as it shows Sinbad's mother being locked in a cage and cries because of the loss of her son and then gets shot by a tranquillizer dart.
 * 11) Sometimes, it can get dark and evil-spirited. Blood can be clearly seen (in a kids' movie) in the film's climax.
 * 12) It is inaccurate regarding animal's anatomy; Kelly has a large and disturbing udder while a real gazelles' udder is way smaller in comparison.
 * 13) There is lots of padding to increase the movie's running time, like a whole entire scene of the hyena duo chasing Kelly in the climax, which lasts for 30 seconds.
 * 14) Generic soundtrack that does not fit in the film.
 * 15) Misleading title: Despite the name, Sinbad doesn't actually grow up nor become a king.
 * 16) The hyenas are given roars, even though they don't roar in real life.
 * 17) The people behind the movie were so lazy (other than stealing an existing movie), that the poster itself was simply made on a computer.
 * 18) The movie is only 14 minutes long, which is just way too short. Even other short movies like Ratatoing wouldn't be that short.
