The Thought Lion

The White Lion is a magical talking lion who helps a young girl escape from an evil troll in The True Bride, an episode of Jim Henson's The Storyteller.

Jim liked the realistic lion so much that it was featured as his 'co-host' in The Jim Henson Hour, appearing in opening and closing scenes. The White Lion did not speak in these appearances.

In one episode, The Dog from the Storyteller temporarily took the lion's place. The Lion was featured in the opening number, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by The Nylons.
