Walt Disney - Lambert The Sheepish Lion - 1952

Mr. Stork (played, as in Dumbo, by Sterling Holloway) delivers a lion to a family of sheep. While his mother takes a liking to him, he gets teased by his "brother" lambs. But when Lambert grows up, his kin change their opinion on him.

[@OniLordMiki]

You have absolutely nothing to be sorry about. Nostalgic morons should learn how to spell otherwise it makes their point moot.

[@scarletpeoni9347]

OniLordMiki could you not understand what was written? I guess if English isn't your first language it may be a struggle, but try to understand that everyone is at different levels of English and that if everyone solely concentrated on getting their English perfect then what would happen with every other skill? Im pretty certain you don't have every skill known to man that could aid humanity in some way.

[@wizardwarrior713]

How is it that I can watch mature, emotional dramas, and at even the most dramatic, well-acted, well-scripted scene, and it doesn't make me cry....yet just watching this adorable little cartoon can make me tear up a bit?

[@fayasff5257]

[@777Lxxx]

I think it's a mix of childhood nostalgia, the fact that it is so simple to understand and the fact that nowadays the shows aren't very well made...

I just love the moral of this story, sometimes we don´t know the power we got within and underestimate oneself, until one day...

Don't worry about that hungry wolf, he has a place to cling. He wont starve, because that bush has berries.... Every Spring. LMFAO! I just love the ending.

There wasn't one, I think. Lamberts mom was supposed to be childless.

[@ChatGPt2001]

"Lambert the Sheepish Lion" is a classic animated short film produced by Walt Disney Productions. It was released on February 8, 1952, and directed by Jack Hannah. The story revolves around a lion cub named Lambert who is mistakenly delivered to a flock of sheep by a stork. Raised by a sheep named Flossie, Lambert grows up thinking he's a sheep, but as he gets older, he realizes he's different from the rest of the flock. The short film explores themes of self-discovery, acceptance, and courage. Lambert's journey involves overcoming his sheepish nature and embracing his true identity as a lion. The character Lambert was notable for being timid and shy, in contrast to the typical portrayal of lions as bold and fierce. "Lambert the Sheepish Lion" remains a charming and heartwarming Disney classic, known for its endearing characters and positive messages.

May I ask you, what mean is South Africa 🌍?

I loved this because it was proof that a mothers love can be found anywhere

[@ekweseman]

My favorite part is when Lambert saw his mother in trouble, he instantly transformed into a bad-ass raging beast and taught that cowardly wolf a lesson. Now Lambert is the flock's protector.

[@afriendofbean]

+Erik Weseman It's amazing because when I was very young, that part used to scare me when lightning struck Lambert in the brain while hearing the scary music and seeing Lambert making a scary face while the lightning struck him in the brain to remind him that he's a lion and not a sheep. I remember when I was very young I had a VHS tape of a 30 minute Winnie the Pooh cartoon, two Chip and Dale cartoons which were 10 minutes each, the 60 minute Dumbo movie, and this 10 minute Lambert The Sheepish Lion (all of this adds up to 2 hours) where I watched all these cartoons and when I got to the part of the lightning striking Lambert in the brain, I got scared but stayed in the room until the cartoon was over. Once it ended, I ran out of the room to be with the rest of my family.

[@fayasff5257]

No one in 2023 also

[@1789NYSA]

I consider Mr. Stork isn't really smart and diligent as a postman. He didn't know the difference between a lion and a sheep. In Dumbo, he was taking a rest when the others were busy with their baby delivery service. So, Madam Jumbo accepted her baby, Dumbo a little bit late.

[@Katty1105288]

True Dumbo isn't the same elephant like his mother and the others. Dumbo is an African elephant. The African elephant has bigger ears. His mom and the the others are Asian Elephant which they have smaller ears.

[@StarTheWolfPuppy]

[@girl1213]

Well the stork does his job well enough: he delivered Dumbo safely to his mother after all, even if he was late. I guess the stock delivery business is more concerned about getting the babies to the parents safely even if it isn't on time. And in his defense with Lambert, Momma Sheep had already adopted Lambert at that point and she wasn't willing to give him up. It shows good mothership if a female animal is willing to take on baby of a different species, even if they don't understand they're not the same species.

I’m watching all the Disney shorts in chronological order and the Goofy “EHHH-hoo-hoo-hooey!” as the wolf went off the cliff gave me a great big grin. The sound effect is like an easter egg that’s been dropped into heaps of shorts since 1941 and even some of the movies.

[@spindalis79]

I recall watching this in the 80s. My folks had taped Dumbo, and this short was on prior to it. I recall both of these Disney animations featured the same stork. I am surprised however that in 1952, the singers sound like something out of the late 30s.

[@dagnytheartist]

Ironic! When I was little, I had the complete opposite idea! A bull raises a baby sheep, and the sheep grows up to be very angry and vicious even amongst fellow sheep.

[@MDthornton83]

The wolf's frightened expression when Lambert roars is just hilarious! He looks like he was wetting himself from fear and saying: "Oh shit! I'm screwed! I am SO screwed!" And when Lambert charges, the wolf's like: "Oh God!!! Somebody please help me!!!" Lucky for him Lambert decided to go easy on him by just knocking him to a bush. Believe me, it could have gotten a whole lot uglier.

[@ladyfire44]

At least here, Mr. Stork did realize his mistake upon looking at the delivery calendar and tried to take Lambert back so he can deliver him to his rightful mother. However, the sheep matriarch(the ewe with the bell on her neck) had already accepted him as her son and fought back by head butting him(Mr. Stork) to the air. I'm sure the drunk stork(Looney Tunes) would never cared to know the difference being too busy finding the nearest bar to get a couple of beers and be intoxicated.
