Unlike a Disney movie, the story of the lion's new-found freedom is grim, violent and full of danger. Artist Niko Henrichon sets the scenes perfectly with lushly detailed environments ranging from green parkland reminiscent of the jungle to the dusty, empty streets of a bombed-out city. What the highly polished artwork may lack in idiosyncrasy it more than makes up for in its professionalism of production.

...taxi ride from the center, is Addis in Dar, an Ethiopian restaurant that serves calm-and culture-with its cuisine. On the upper floor in an old colonial house, soulful African music plays to a backdrop of traditional handicrafts and jewelry for sale, and de rigueur pictures of the "Lion of Judah," Emperor Haile Selassie, in his safari suit.
