These characters sang, danced, laughed and taught us important lessons on friendship, kindness, and wisdom that are sure to become cherished memories.

Would you like to know how these animals live off the screen in the real African Savanna?

Let’s find out more about the real-life counterparts of these beloved characters and the lessons they can teach us from the jungle.
