Lambert the Sheepish Lion
Lambert the Sheepish Lion is a Disney animated short film that was released in 1952. It was directed by Jack Hannah.
The 8-minute film focuses on Lambert, a lion cub that is mistakenly left with a flock of sheep by a stork. Lambert lives his life thinking he is a sheep, but is ostracized by his peers for being and acting different until he is forced to defend the flock from an attack by a hungry wolf (the same wolf from the "Peter and the Wolf" segment from Make Mine Music). Thereafter, the now-adult Lambert is wholeheartedly accepted by the other sheep as one of the flock.
- Directed by Jack Hannah. Produced by Walt Disney. Story by Bill Peet, Ralph Wright and Milt Banta.
